McLaren MP4-12C Spider

Disclaimer: This was an impromtu shoot, I walked into my local McLaren dealership and found out this was the last day the car would there. I grabbed my camera and snapped some photos for them. This was a quick shoot, took around 30 mins or so. No time to set up or work with a polarizer to handle all the crazy reflections. So yes, I know the reflections are too much! I rather like them and adds to the quality of the paint finish, but others may see it differently.

On to the photos!

Thanks for the kind words guys! Always appreciated!

I really like the last one...not your stereotypical interior shot but then again nothing is typical about the McLaren!

Love, love, LOVE that color - so gorgeous! And beautiful pictures too.

I really love how strong the lines and reflections are, it gives the photos a very graphic feel...almost makes them feel like the colored sketches of car ideas that you see sometimes. It's different and I really like it.

Awesome job!

Really appreciate the comments guys. You'd be surprised how little processing was done to the color of the car. The 5D2 really captures colours well. Most of the processing was done for sharpening and making the background as clean as possible. Also, small local cloning to remove the really distracting reflections from spotlights and a car battery wire.

Really nice set! Congrats on getting to shoot such a beautiful.

Mclaren has taken notice...

Don't remember the price off hand, but looking at $250,000+ for these cars.

Really like the set.... reflections don't bother me at all.
