    I gotta say that I think some of your best work is your non car related stuff. The glass with the lime is very nice, I really like the lighting.

    Are you using any speedlights for the car shots or are you just using ambient?

    I disagree. The car photography is stunning, particularly the lighting or light conditions. Most of those shots would be truly difficult to recreate.

    They look great. Is the harbor shot and beach from Bermuda?

    very nice!

    i especially like the first image (silver 996 gt2), the lighting and composition are great. the other image i really like is your red 997 turbo "on the farm". i agree that your product photography (the martini shot) is the best of what you have posted here. the car photos are good, but on the whole i'd like to see more attention to the lighting (since you've exhibited you are capable with the lights). I see some overuse of gradients and burns, and some sloppy selections in a couple of the frames which give away the post processing...a more refined touch with that will go a long way.

    i look forward to seeing more! :)

    what filters are you using to get the sky to be so true blue. I just bought a set of filters and i can't get that same look in many of my pics. Could just be my settings though too.

    Thank you! Im using two remote flashes.
    Thank you!
    Thanks! yup, Bermuda is a picture perfect place.
    Thanks alot! yeah, we have commented on eachothers photos before.
    Thank you!
    Thanks alot! Sorry I have not replyed to your pm yet, I have been very busy. I will send you the steps tomorrow.
    Thanks alot! You have some of the best photos I have ever seen in my life!
    I just bought a filter a few day ago, no filters were used with the photos yet. I change the saturation to bring out the color, you could try that.
    First time I have heard about that kind of filter.

    Interesting. The Bermuda shot immediately made me think of one. I find them to be quite useful when shooting outdoors on bright cloudy days.

    I was thinking more along the lines of a Polarizing filter. But I guess I would be wrong too.

    I wouldn't expect the color change to be quite that dramatic with a polarizer. I don't regularly use mine, though, so I could easily be wrong.
