I met this photographer at a trackday a few months ago and he was mostly taking photos of stationary cars in the paddock, which I thought was a bit odd so I asked what he was doing...

He did an image of the car I had that day, which I liked, so I got him to do my Cerbera.



Too late for Christmas but a link to him here

For sure... I know it's "cheating", I know it's photoshopped to death but the end result is nice to look at. You could spend months or years trying to get moody weather/lighting and the perfect position of the car to make an equivalent "live" shot. This is a 'Ring corner which makes the likelihood of catching THE shot even harder. As it was, i parked the car outside the workshop one evening and turned the steering wheel to the lock stop. hehe

All the best to you too Steve!

Yup, not my cup of tea at all. It looks like you are about to drive off the apex of a left hander straight into the Armco.

Still, whatever floats your boat.

Hum - dunno, as a photographer I can appreciate the effort taken to produce this image. Lets face it - most advertising images are produced this way.

I've had a go...

Nice, although it would look better with tyres on it, the road noise must be unbearable.

Yes but since when did the Cerb cast a rectangular shadow ?

Also the lighting is just so wrong and full of contradictions

really nice pictures there guys.

I'd like to get some good shots of mine, but the sun has gone into hibernation and snow has been mentioned for the latter half of next week.

the tiv could also do with a damn good polish.
