Stunning pics dude:thumbs: I know the feeling when you want to take some shots, but you don't feel very creative. I hate that feeling. In fact, that's the reason why I've been putting off doing a shoot with my car:nonono:

Did you do much editing to the pics? Your car looks almost white under florescent lights, but stunning nonetheless:praise:

Hi Bavs,

Yea I obviously to post processing, but not a whole lot. I basically do white balancing, exposure correction, and add contrast. That's it.

Under these lighting conditions the car does look a little lighter than in person - the highlights from the lights blow out easily, but the silver is quite light in general so the pics aren't far from reality.

EDIT: Are you viewing the pics on a calibrated monitor? I have seen pics like these before on certain LCD monitors which make silver/greys look like white.

I'm looking at them on my work PC, so it's not calibrated. It looks almost alpine white in some of the pics. Will check it out again on my laptop tonight. I love the sharpness and depth of your pics:praise:

Thanks :)

OK chances are your work monitor is blowing highlights to hell, and raising the mid tones way to much making my car look white. My work monitor does the same thing.

I had a look at the pics again on my laptop and it looks a bit more silver on that screen, but if I had to put those pics next to your profile pic and the previous pics you took I wouldn't say it's the same car. I think the florescent lights make it look more white than silver:idea: I'd love to see the pre processed pics for comparison:thumbs:

Yea, remember my profile pic was taken with the car in shade with no direct light sources. In these pics, i had a fluorescent light directly above the bonnet creating a highlight. PM your email, i'll send you the some RAWs.
