Default Grape And A Camera

A guy from our local Vette club had asked me a while back if it would be possible to shoot some pictures of our Corvette. We finally had a chance to meet up last Sunday evening and went out to Saguaro Lake in the evening. I think they turned out pretty darn good. I may have to get some blown up for the Vette Room now. So, let me know what you think...

Here's a couple I took with my phone camera first though. Definitely not as good as his but I had to try.

No editing with these, just the camera in my phone.







NOW here's his he took and did a little editing too. I think he did a fantastic job and he didn't even charge me for anything. He's learning about all this as he's going and I think he's getting it down pretty good.









These pictures are with a process he called "light painting". I have never heard of this and it's really crazy how the camera can get this. I really like how they turned out.







Adding a few more pictures he sent me a couple nights ago. I'm pretty happy with what he did. Might have him do more if he ever wants to. The engine and interior pictures were new to him as he's never done those areas before so our car was the guinea pig for him. I think he did a great job. Some of these might be dups but they have a little different editing to them.

Very, very nice photos! Some of his "light painting" techniques add a unique dimension to your car.

I will also say that the 2nd and 3rd pics that you took are nicely framed with the backdrop. You have a good eye for composition.
Kudos to you for such a photographic car!

If someone asked me if I would like a Corvette in your cars color, I would have probably said "no". But man, would I be wrong. That color looks great!
