Default Professional Photoshoot of the Viper

Alright, I apologize in advance for all the picture whoring lately, but these turned out too good not to post. I met up with a photographer in Baltimore this past weekend to get some pics of the car.

These were taken by a local photographer named Chris Walsh...PM me if you wish to contact him. Here is the link to the rest of pics - http://www.flickr.com/photos/chriswa...th/6713094129/

Great pics!

Pardon my question but, couldn't you park your Viper and take the photos yourself?

The photos look great, but a decent camera with a static vehicle is easy to achieve the same results..... well, at least I seem to think so. (Especially the one with the minivan and delivery van in the background.)

But still, great pics! No doubt!!

(But the 8th photo....that oil stain and piece of red debris (next to his name) steals from your image. He couldn't edit that out with photoshop?)

Favorite pics are first and third! Very vibrant!

I've taken many pics of the car, but equipment plays a large role in quality pics, and I just don't have it. You can't substitute $3000 of camera/lens/filters etc with a $200 point and shoot. Plus, post-processing plays a huge role in digital pics, and I'm not the best at that either.

Those couple pics with the vans in the background just happened. We were walking down the length of the brick building, and the car was just sitting perfect from that angle. He didn't wanna shoot them because of the crap in the background, but I didn't care cause the car looked great from that angle! These are for my own pleasure and not a magazine, so no big deal.

Lastly, some of the imperfections can certainly be removed from the pics, but I stressed it wasn't that important. Once I finish up a few more things to the car, we're going to take much better, detailed pictures...and everything will be addressed at that point. These were a "trial run" if you will

What are the 'few more things' you plan on finishing up with the car?

Great look you've achieved with your mods, Ryan!

Unreal how that whole "secret entourage" thing worked out for you.

Awesome pictures. Those wheels along with your glass-like finish on the paint make for a very photogenic car! What wax do you use?
