Default Grand Sport CRM Professional Pictures

I took delivery of my CRM Grand Sport from the museum September 24. I have a friend at work who does photography as a hobby and to make a little extra walkin-around money. We took these at sunrise until about 10:00 a.m. at a beach park (I live in Destin, Florida). Pictures do not do this car justice but these shots come pretty darn close. I am going to have a couple of them printed on 17x22 canvas, frame them , and hang in my office. I hope everyone enjoys...

Those are beautiful! Some of them look so good that they even seem touched up.

By the way, the photographer's name is Jeff Waldorff. This was his first experience taking photos of a car. Most of his work is nature, landscapes, and waterscapes. Here is a link to his website: http://www.pbase.com/jwaldorff

He uses a program to blend 4 or 5 different exposures of the same shot in to one. He calls them "HDR" photos

The photos with the sun coming up show the actual color of the car. The brighter photos show the car a little brighter red than it actually is, especially in the foreground. I had a 2007 Monterey Red, and in my opinion, Crystal Red Metallic is quite a bit lighter.

Congrats and hope you enjoy...
Ill be the first to say , Not a big fan of that dark Brown looking color...Seems as if when its not under a bright light and or sun the paint looks dull..

Some of these shots should be used for the 2011 Corvette brochure. They are awesome.

At the very least - get one framed to hang on your wall at work!!

Great pictures! Even my wife's tongue was hanging out! Not surprised to hear they were taken at Destin, beautiful place.
Wonder how the economy is down there right now.
