Liquid yellow? Easily the best colour for the Megane, stands out from the sea of silver, white and black on the roads. I'm a bit biased with Meganes though hehe

As it happens, we had jus come from an early evening hoon. The sun was shining so all the bugs came out to play as well. We went straight from there to the photo shoot. It was meant to be just the Lambo but my mate AndyWhyNot did a couple with the Megane as well. Not a sponge in sight at 02.00am unfortuantly!!

Going to do a few more some time when it is clean

Really nice effects on the pics- was this down to kit (long exposure etc) and/ or use of something like photoshop? Not that I'm saying either are bad- I just want to be able to make images this good myself!

There should never be a sponge around! Have just done a pug 1007 in a similar colour to yours and the dodo juice orange crush works very well on that type of colour!

His photostream is here http://www.flickr.com/photos/andwhynot/3547860999/

But he doesn't tend to use photoshop at all, just clever use of flash/LED lights and long exposures. All the exif data should be on the page so you can work out what was done. He's also got a couple of tutorials on there somewhere.

Thanks for posting these Jim, only just found the thread when I noticed a few people clicking through from PH.

Thanks also Mr Evil for the contact link wink

Yeah, just to confirm with the above shots (top one was done by Adcuz off here btw) they're all straight out of camera, other than the watermark. Long exposures indeed, 3-5 minutes each IIRC.

Both stunning cars, mind you. Always helps to have something striking in your shots in the first place smile

Donkey_Kong or anyone else: happy to answer specific questions if you want to PM me? Thanks for looking.

Hi Jim,

My name is Sam, I'm the guy that bought your r26.
Soon after I lost all numbers, wanted to get incontact with you about those photo shots, any chance you still have them and could email them?

By the way, I absolutely love to car, taking it to lemans this weekend and plan to get it on the rolling road the weekend after to see how much difference that box makes!

Cheers mate
