Yeah dude, the Frozen Blue is my favorite, but I like them all. I'd love to have a 2013 E92 in Frozen Blue. One day maybe, hard to give up the Exige though!

I'll check out the group .

Awesome shot!

Shot this matt camo green Focus RS yesterday! It was such a dull day I had to up the ISO and aperture to compensate, this was at f5.6. I wouldn't normally go that high but seems to be okay...

Love the texture in the road!

Scouting locations for a rigshot, and thought this road would be perfect...except almost no sunlight breaks through
Plus the traffic here is almost constant. I wonder if my insurance would cover decapitating a bicyclist? They are thick through here.

Very little sunlight is perfect, you can shoot earlier in the day without an ND. Also, with all the tree reflections you're sure to get some fantastic lines down that car. I'd do a low front 3/4 with the car as close to the edge of the road as possible. The closer the trees, the better the sense of motion.

Well if reflections are good then this is the place. I am going to try a couple of drive by's about first light to see what the traffic situation is.

The more reflections you have, the better sense of motion you'll convey. I love tree coverage like that.

A few of us have set up a Facebook Car Rig Photography thread if anyone here is interested...

How did the wrap hold up to the suction cups?
