Default Porsche Parade 2008- Charlotte

just a few from the Concours Day. BTW- a polarizer is very high on the list; just got to figure out which lens to put it on.



This one is just over saturated for a fake-hdr effect.



356 lineup:



Widebody slantnose:

Nice. I like the DOF in the third shot. I'd like to see a little more in the first one though

love the widebody slantnose, only thing better would be a hardtop swidebody slantnose. Not a fan of verts. Wheels are sexy as hell on it though.

"356 lineup" is a wall hanger. I'd frame that one.

#1 is cool, looks like when they stage the cars for the truck/train transportation at an assembly plant.

#2 - the headlights turned blue? Or is there somesort of blue tint over the lens? Lots of noise in the shadows.

The slantnose - wait for three seconds next time and let the dude walk out of the pic. Change your position slightly to get the rear end of the other car out of the shot. That would be a sweet picture.

Where are the 959s
