    I love the textures, the shininess of the wheel and body, and the lighting. But I'm not sure about the perspective; it's tough to tell what kind of car it is. And the wheel dominates, without obviously being the actual subject. Did you shoot it from any other perspectives? I'd like to see the whole series, if there are any.
    What I said when I saw the Grand Canyon for the first time: "The wide ain't wide enough and the zoom don't zoom enough!"

    well, i was just snapping a couple in the garage after waxing her, and it was drizzling outside so with my 17-50 tammy that is as wide as i could go. This one i was really stretching the post.. but still thought it was ok.

    I have only had her a week now so I haven't had a "proper" shoot yet (but will soon). Here is one I took the other day when i brought her home (bw conversion).

    I liked the shot for exactly that reason, but then, I'm not a car fanatic. The perspective was unusual. It showed how attractive the car is without seeming like an ad. Might be harder to sell that way, though. lol3.gif Anyway, cool shot. thumb.gif

    Nice looking car :D

    I like the 1st shot posted -- The perspective is different which makes it appealing in my eyes.

    Send my hubby some tips on how to keep a garage that nice -- please :D

    Hi Mary Kim, thanks for commenting. I always try to get angles I don't see normally.. I was really going for something a bit different than my 'normal' post work.. I don't think that would fly with most shots but i liked how it looked on the first one. As far as the garage, I spend a lot of time in there so i try to keep it tidy .. rolleyes1.gif
