Thanks for the great feedback everyone. Eric is the man when it comes to automotive photography.
Eric is a coffee fiend so I can assure you it's not the latter of the two.
Thanks James. You know you're already on the list. Just gotta get around to it.
You remember the buildings from the shoot with Dut's car? Same place, just about 200 feet further down the driveway. But yes, it is long overdue.

Hmm, SL's, we'll see what we can come up with.
The actual shoot is actually pretty simple most times. Scheduling, finding a location with minimal harassment from security, and setup are the more difficult aspects of the shoot.
Good one Roupin! Aftermarket wheels...
. We usually have plenty of crazy ideas, some are too risky for us or the camera. ![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Arjang, you've got to wash your car more than once every nine months!
The shoot was really spur of the moment after having a discussion about potential ideas at lunch w/Eric. Jay and his car were ready and available so luckily, it just happened to work out for us based on virtually no advance notice. Using my car as the guinea pig all the time gets boring as you could imagine so it was nice to have another subject.
Thanks Vic, glad to be back. ![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Hi Shelle, you can get Euroteck CF lip through Neal (Blackc230coupe). The AMG tag is just the regular Ebay variety. There should be plenty on there. If you have trouble finding them let me know.
Thanks Rudy. Weddings aren't my forte but Eric on the other hand does do weddings and does a great job of it. If I remember correctly you're in Nevada. I'm sure he'll jump all over the idea of another Vegas trip.

Ling, the pictures get better and better. I don't know how you and Eric come up with unique ideas each time.

Ling,
Welcome back my friend. Getting something together next month for a few of us. Talk to Jangy and Jay.
What???? When did Jay get those wheels? Jay you copy cater dirty rater. J/K
I felt like I was looking at my car without the tint and upgraded cooling package. LOL I guess that is what I get for dropping the ball with Eric. LOL

can you post a before processing and after picture? Id like to see what they look like originally. What kind of camera is it also?
my wife has a D200, and her pics dont come out anywhere near as nice as that. Although she's a newb and is learning.

I want to go down there just to have this Eric guy take pictures of my car. He is quite amazing! And Ling's photography is also nothing short of beautiful.
Would it be appropriate to just inquire what camera Eric uses? No details, just the camera.

I'll talk to the two J's to see what's crackin next month. Jay has had those wheels for quite some time now. It was just off his car for a while since he likes running the stock wheels with DR's instead of the HRE's.
Eric hasn't forgetten about you. You let us know when you're ready.
