Default A few shots of my new C8

I have a shoot coming up this week so decided to go to the location and get a few shots of my own car to check lighting set ups etc... I just got the car 3 weeks ago, I love it.

Hmmm What are you talking about? As I said I had another shoot coming up and these were basically test shots. Nothing special compared to what I normally shoot. That said since these look the same as all other shots of C8's out there, lets see the photos that you took of your C8. I will be waiting to inspect those so please post as soon as you can so we can all compare. Also any other photography tips you can give me would be much appreciated!

This was the car I was doing a shoot for.

Awesome photos. Really like the first front shot picture the best. Looks like it about to go airborne.

Except for the high wing and carbon flash nacelles, that's exactly the color scheme that I ordered. The only other thing I ordered were the splash guards and carbon flash side skirts.

Your pictures look great and I know I'm going to love my car when I get it - TPW of 8/30/21.

Great pics of a good-looking car. It almost doesn't look real!

Great Shots of a great car. I've been trying to get a decent photo of my car for while now. Clearly the IPhone is not that right tool for the job. I will try a similar background here in So Fla. and hope for the best. Great photos

I think you should skip the shoot and stick with your own photos.

Great shots.

Looks like another C8 like all the other pics we've already seen.

While this is an older thread, no debating that you have a beautiful C8. Great shots, Rick.
