Default Outstanding Corvette Photography!

For any of those that may wish to get their C5/C6 Corvette photographs taken by a real pro, I suggest you look up "Goodwood" on this board! He dropped by the shop today to place an order for a differential upgrade and while he was here, he said, "Hey, if you don't mind, let me take some pictures of your shop to see how they'll come out- I am a photographer".

I agreed and he took a few minutes to snap a few "quickie" shots. Geeez, is he talanted! He owns a very trick camera that's loaded with features and probably has forgotten more about photography, than I could ever even learn about!! If he can do this fine of a job when only taking a few minutes to snap a couple of pictures off, I can only imagine how sharp they would look if actually took the time to set-up for it!

I'm not posting this because he's asked or anything and I hope he doesn't mind us posting here about his abilities, but he's just that good....period! We'll be using his business in the future I'm sure.

Anyway, if you're interested, you might want to look him up to see if he can help you. Plus, he's a really nice chap to boot.

Below is a sample of his "quickie" shots of our main shop area and of the front of the building here.


Best Regards,
Phil- DTE

That interior shot is great -- getting a good shot inside a building is always a real challenge.

Thanks Jim. You and your wife should drop by sometime if you're in the area- especially since you've already had your arm around my wife already when I wasn't around....

That's what we thought! He had trick features on that camera that I'd not even heard of before or even knew existed.

Thank you. That's one of the jobs I've been reduced to around here as the owner...."mop boy".

If we can just get wrustywrench to quit his day-job to replace me as "mop boy", than we'd be set and I could upgrade myself to "trash guy".

I agree, the photographer did a nice job. In fact, I think the shop looks even cleaner than when I was there nearly 4 years ago.

Thanks and hopefully the photographer will step in and say hello, as I'm sure it would be worth his time.

Last time I looked, my blue vert with black top was in my garage. Apparently, you're doing something to it w/o my knowledge...

Nice shots. Nice shop.
