Tom is really good friends with my cousin Mark. I saw the car a few weeks ago at my aunt and uncles cottage in Canada, he was there one of the days. I’d love to have one of these, just not yellow. Not a big fan of yellow. ---

I hate photos like that. You post about a photoshoot, but it isn’t a photoshoot at all. A photoshoot involves moving the car to different locations, angling in around the lighting, and arranging different backgrounds. This is a thread about photo-editing. I don’t have a good artistic eye for shooting my own still shots, but I know a great shot when I see one taken. You have a bunch of amateur mistakes in these photos. Roll the windows up to clean up the side shots. The first 2 photos have a flagpole growing out of the car. I like this one: ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/rugsr/IMG_0047-2.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/rugsr/IMG_0047-2.jpg) ^^nice and clean and not heavily edited. ---

Thats a first for me. We were on limited time (lunch) and took some pictures. IMO windows up or down doesnt matter. I have a convertible, I am not about to raise the top and put the windows up. I see what your saying but I dont think windows up is a big deal. The thread isn’t about photo-editing, its about a yellow Z06 I shot. Was PP done to the photos, yes. But 9 times out of 10 theres always PP done. I stated I knew I went over board, but I like how they looked. Could I have pulled it back, yes. But I didnt. The flag pole was meant to be there because I wanted the American flag behind American muscle. If I were shooting anything other then an American car, the flag would not have been there. The pic you posted: Thanks, its one of my favorites. :tup: ---

> [@rugsr](#): > > I have never heard of a photoshoot HAVING to have different backgrounds. Thats a first for me. We were on limited time (lunch) and took some pictures. I should have been more specific here. You move the car around to use the light to your advantage. All you guys did was park the car and then you circled around it. > [@rugsr](#): > > IMO windows up or down doesnt matter. I have a convertible, I am not about to raise the top and put the windows up. I see what your saying but I dont think windows up is a big deal. Ok, I did a quick search and tried to find 2 examples of a similar car. Here’s a shot with the window down: Window up: ![http://onecarspot.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/BMW-335-2011-4.jpg](http://onecarspot.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/BMW-335-2011-4.jpg) Notice how having the window up keeps the lines of the car nice and clean? > [@rugsr](#): > > The thread isn’t about photo-editing, its about a yellow Z06 I shot.

Not hating man, just making some observations. That pic that I liked would have looked better with the window up as well. ---

OK I see what you saying. Maybe I should have said “pictures” and not photoshoot of a Z06. Like I said it was spur of the moment on a lunch break. Next one will be a photoshoot. ---------- Post added at 09:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:02 AM ---------- > [@joelster](#): > > Ok, I did a quick search and tried to find 2 examples of a similar car.
