    Car generously provided by Ferrari of Atlanta. Only had an hour or so with it, so it's not as elaborate as my usual shoots, but I made due. FoA allowed me access to their entire inventory, so I made up for this short series by shooting a few other non F-cars over three days. I'll be posting those much larger series in their respective sub-forums when they're complete.

    Anyway, I hope you all dig the photos!

    (Fchat scales the widescreen images down; to see them in all their uncompressed, un-pixelated glory, they're all on my site. )

    (To those of you noticing; yes, I've been busy shooting a lot of Ferraris lately. :D)

    First and third are my favorites - but all of them are awesome. You really have some tremendous camera skills. How about a review on what it's like to pilot that beast...?

    The first pic is pretty sweet, but maybe it would be even more bad ass if the xenons were turned on, like a pitbull with rage in its eyes ready to torpedo across towards the camera!

    Sadly, I never sat behind the wheel. As it was a dealership car, I'm not authorized or insured to drive it. Bummer. ;)

    Glad you like it. That one took a while to perfect in post. But I think it was worth it. ;)

    Did you edit those shots using HDR at all?

    I know a guy who works there. Hell, I know all of 'em...! Tell Mr. Eckoff and Mr. Wettach that I said hello, and that they should let you drive that thing.

    On second thought, if you mention my name, they might kick you out. Scratch that! :D

    I look forward to future posts from you; your pictures are incredible.

    Nope; all are single photos with a lot of post work in Photoshop. I rarely shoot in HDR, and when I do it's to counter balance the lighting conditions; I never process in 'HDR style' when I don't need to. Unlike, you know... 96% of Flickr photos. ;)

    Haha, well thank you. You should check out my website then; I've shot a LOT of cars that I haven't posted on Fchat. Nearing 900 photos now, all processed in my signature visual style. So yes; I spend a lot of time at my computer. :D

    Amazing pictures!!

    Maybe the best pics of the scud I've seen so far. Impressive!

    Ferrari should hire you :)

    May I ask you what set-up you used? Did you used PS to adjust the pictures?

    Wow, thank you!

    All of my work goes through both Lightroom and Photoshop; the prior to initially correct the RAW file, and the latter to give it the stylized feeling. Won't really go into the techniques, but it can take up to 4-5 hours per photo in extreme cases. Usually it's 1-2 per photo; I'm borderline OCD when it comes to my work. Pixel perfect... ;)

    I agree with the others, that is some great work. Pic #1 is amazing, but made me sad/angry.

    If I had access to the same garage, car and equipment I couldn't take a picture like that! And to have the creative skills to see it, well that's awesome. It makes me realize how talented you are and my clear lack of it (which is what makes me angry/sad).....

    Nice job.
