Tatto20V BT MKIV GTI-Matte Finish

[moacur]

There are some things that I know will be distracting about the pictures to some. Basically I am still getting familiar with the new camera so I have not been concerned so much about location.. Here we go...

Love the body on this. Looks like a matt finish......thats because it is. My mistake. Only seen this done once before. Matt black but chips caused flaky paint.

Second = money shot. First also.

If only that car would be road legal over here! Sadly that ride would be impossible to drive in the UK let alone get near my drive.

Looks like you are getting the hang of the 40D. I really like the location. 5 is a good shot, I would like 2 better if the car was angled in the corner a little more towards the camera.

[aridan]

I actually like the location, but would ease up on the vignetting a bit in #1

[PhotosGuy]

Probably no surprise to anyone, but I like the last two best. Turn the wheel a bit in #5.

That is some MASSIVE rear dish action. Great shots and insane dub! (I'm a mkV driver myself.)

[Mitch F]

nice shots. i'm in no way a gti fan, but for some reason that sort of "out of the box" color combo does it for me. it's hard to find an import that i like, nice! ;)

[moacur]

Thanks guys! His car is definitely unique and deserves the recognition that it gets for all the hard work that has gone into it over the years.. It has been featured in many magazines and it is much deserving. Some magazines have features it more then once because of the drastic changes it has gone through over the years. It's not everyones cup of tea but it is unique.. That is forsure :cool:

Fun car too shoot too :D

So lucky!!! A matte finish car is easy to light! No reflections to worry about, maybe just the occasional hot spot here and there. I think you did a great job with these. I think that rolling shot stands out some. I like the first, just seems that you're losing definition towards the back of the car.

[Wyn]

very nice car!

[PTHONG]

awesome shots! Love the rolling shot.

[Holster]

you and that 40D are now my favorite local team lol. what was the setup for the shoot?

[SamHunter]

Which ones were with the Sigma 10-20?

[Emberghost]

I for one think your shots are amazing, way crisp and just plain eye candy. Look forward to seeing more work from you.

[Flamby]

first shot is my favourite, location is excellent!

I would also like to know which ones were taken with what lens? sorry for the question I am just deciding on what lens to go for myself.

[moacur]

Thanks all :cool:

All shots were taken with the 10-20 except for photo #2 and the single image posted down in the thread. Those 2 were shot with the 50mm. A CP was used for all the stand still shots and a .6 ND filter and a CP were used for the rolling shots.

[SnowManZ]

watch the reflections in the paint

[da_teacher]

That is one sick paint job!

[paiintballa182]

don't love the car, but the pics are great!

[shawnwalsh]

Looking good Jeff!

[moacur]

Thanks Shawn! Welcome to POTN :cool:

[OhNe0z]

Mikes car looks amazing! Beats the hell outta any photo's ive ever taken of it, haha, What are you doing for PP??

[moacur]

Thanks! Not much.. Lighting was pretty good for this shoot. I did want a darker/dreery feel. So just a bit of un-saturating, a little sharpness and some vignetting..

[smcclelland]

Awesome shots and that is one wicked dub! Did he use matte vinyl for the black roof and hood? This makes me realize I've got a pile of parts I need to put on my MK4 in the garage!

[moacur]

The whole car is painted matte including the silver..

[smcclelland]

Impressive, most people dodge the paint bill by laying down matte vinyl but it's good to see he went the whole 10 yards with the paint. Always nice seeing people getting creative with the Joey mod as well :)

[Brennan.M]

got some keepers there. Especially one and two, damn good lookin car too

[brandon9585]

Great pictures. I enjoyed your whole flickr album too. Hope to see some of those at Waterfest this weekend. :)

[OhNe0z]

The car is even nicer in person, moacur, are you on eurowerks or mnsc?

[moacur]

Thanks guys!

O- I'm on Eurowerks occasionally..

great shots of a very unique car, very different cosmetic mods which really suit, whats under the hood? and maybe turn the front wheels a little so you see more of them when shooting at an angle, other than that looks fantastic and the location is to die for

[moacur]

Thanks!

Car has a shaved engine bay with a BT set-up. I believe it has a GT28rs with 630cc file... Very pretty engine bay...

[moacur]

To be honest.. I'm not sure.. I think he just likes maple leafs :lol:

[BTR_FTW]

those pics and that car is MONEY.

nice work bro!

[moacur]

Thanks :o

[brandon9585]

Saw the car in person today. Looked very nice and clean.

[moacur]

Nice! I'm assuming in Jersey at Waterfest?

[Holster]

Nice! I'm assuming in Jersey at Waterfest?

does he really travel with it that often?! wow i thought he kinda just kept it around the TC area

[moacur]

Yes, he goes to more around the country car shows then anyone that I know..

[Todd Good]

Sick VW, I love the Mark IV body style over the Mark V. I had a silver one just like this before I moved to a BMW. Shots are super clean and crisp. Great location. I'm on the fence regarding the orange accent color, but its original, so I'm diggin it bro. I see you like tracking shots, and so do I , but build yourself a rig, and you'll have some real fun.
