Thumbs up Photoshoot: Jay55 (56k need not try)

Back from my "vacation" with some goodies.

My buddy Eric Kieu randomly calls me up, asking to use my car or whether I know of any potential cars he would be able to use for testing of new equipment, techniques, ideas, etc. The lucky winner this time around happened to be our very own Jay55.

All the of pictures I am posting below were taken by Eric. I ended up doing the post processing work since he's usually occupied with deadlines for publications and such.

Enjoy.















Here are a few more from the same session with my car as the focal point:

Thanks for the positive comments everyone.

Jay's car is definitely well taken care of.

Sly: I'm trying to figure out what's different about your car that makes it so much better/cleaner looking than any of the other silver E55's I've seen (no offense to anyone else). Do tell.

Amazing photography. What color is that dark CLS? Looks black but also has some purple-ish hue to it.

And I second that request of wanting to know what you use to keep that car looking flawless

He actually dropped that explanation on us not to long ago. He PS'd the wheels to be a size or two bigger. Subtle, but effective.

PS'd or not, those are some amazing photos of beautiful cars. Would love to see a photo shoot of some SL's. Looks like a lot of time went into the setup and shoot.

Sorry, carS. Just more difficult to keep a dark color so flawless.

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