Aston Martin DB7

[GetCarter]

Very nice Dean - love the rig shot

(By the way IMHO - you only really realise how nice the Vantage/DB9/DBS side view is when you see the DB7)

Thanks!

Yeah, the DB7 is a good looking car but it's starting to look dated now compared to the stunning Vantage/DB9/DBS!

The DB7 might be dated but to me its still the most beautiful car ever made.

Hi Dean, Really nice photos. Did you use a polarizer on these? for example the rainbow effect on the headlights in picture two? I'm really interested in this as i love the effect!

many thanks

Hi James,

Yes, a polarizer was used for each of the shots. I'm not a fan of the rainbow effect it has on headlights but it's a must have tool when photographing cars.

Why is that? (I'm a DSLR newbie).

The polarizer helps reduce reflections.

here's a vid of what a polarizer does...

A circular polarizer allows you to control reflections (which there are a lot of on cars)

Just a few piccies from Saturday. I have a few more to go through after work tonight which I'll post up...Rip 'em to pieces

Nice rig shot. I'd be interested to see it before the rig was Photoshopped out........

[Dibble]

Really like the photos...

...but I hate the full stop after the "\\deanphoto"...

IMHO I think the pictures would be better without the \\dp logo, but if you are going to use it, I think it'd look better without the "."


I'll get my coat.
