Photoshoot (AMG_Mike's S55)

Hello everybody. Here are a few pics of AMG_Mike's 2006 S55. Mods on the car include 20x10.5"/20x9" Radenergie R05's with Toyo T1R tires and the car is lowered using a Renntech Lowering Module (ELM). Other miscellaneous mods include the OEM flat hood emblem and smoked side markers.

This is the first time I've ever shot with off-camera strobes so any critique is welcome.

Enjoy....

Thanks, no filters were used. The lens used on the detail shots was the Canon 24-105mm F4L IS.

How did you change the color of your dash lights and the nav background to that blue?

They haven't changed. The color temperature of the white balance in the picture is what changed to compensate for the yellowish cabin lights. With that change, the "cooler" color temp lights dipped even lower on the kelvin scale causing them to turn blue.
