First time shooting a white car. Figured white would be easy. Found out it's not. It is a color that is very easy to overexpose or underexpose. The shoot turned out descent.. Here are a few I thought I would share for some C&C.

Still working on getting the groove with the new 40d. Once my car get's back from the shop after bending the stock rods I will be able to get in some more frequent practice with it...

I am not sure I understand the Mercedes emblems on a VW, but hey, the pictures are nice and that is what counts!

It's a Euro thing Some dubs look pretty sick with a set or Porsche rims or Merc rims.. nowadays it's just as easy to run reps that look like them.

Good shoots, white is definitely a hard colour to shoot and expose for.

Figured white would be easy. Found out it's not.

The light on #6 looks pretty good. Try to use light to put the reflections where you want them. #1 has strange colors from the CP & few other good reflections at all, so it has a dead look.

First shots are great, and like others mentioned the rolling shots are a little noisy, but still look good. Maybe if you darken them up a bit and add a little contrast, they would POP. Sick ride though, love the MB wheels, super tight ride bro.

the last one would be killer if you cropped out the green sign and the other car IMO, great shots in general and I love the wheels
