Well this is my first post of the year so I thought I would make it a good one.

About two months ago I was trying to finish up the car calender for a dealer when I walked in and saw this BEAUTIFUL!! factory painted SV in the showroom and I thought it would be just wrong if it was not in there too.

Lucky for me I got to shoot it before the car was sold within the next 2 weeks.

I will post the rest of the calender shots soon

shot a short video of it too.

SICK ride... I've never seen that car in person yet, but it looks like a monster!

Really good shots man (love the first pic)... way to start out the new year!

Btw, although you are a better a photog than me, mind if I give you some constructive criticism (based on car photography I've seen from others)?

Excellent shots! That first one is money!

sure, but this shoot was not my best by far..

1. This shot is money.
2. I'm not sure why this one isn't doing anything for me. Something's off, just can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe the sky is too washed out?
3. Too busy, and draws my attention away from the beast.
4. I like it, but what's with the white triangle on the left? Just looks chopped there. Maybe a tighter crop on the right (just past the belt buckle)?
5. Nice. But the extinguisher bothers me... either include it or clone it out?
6. Awesome shot, but get rid of the thing in the bottom left corner.
7. I can see you in the mirror's chrome?
8. I like it! But, maybe crop out the white near the top right?
9. Looks good, but blasting out the background with a flash could make it better?
10. I like it.
11. I like the crop!
12. I like the bokeh... just where it needs to be. Maybe crop out the rear mirror?
13. Not sure what you were going for here.

Those are just the way I see things, which may or may not be right or the best way to do it.

the first one was the only shot meant to be used for the car calender.
2,3 where just for me to post later.
the rest were only for the people who like seeing everything on the car.

People always ask "why only 2-3 pics? do you have anymore?" so that's why I took some more with out crazy edited.

the last one was just weird how it had a ghost SV from after the owner took it off.

did you use a softbox in #4 or was that natural lighting?
