[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a 2005 Lamborghini Gallardo. The owner had a custom TUBI exhaust installed, and when I drove it I could barely hear myself thinking. However, it is one of the most exciting cars that I've driven to date. 505 horses strapped to an all-wheel-drive pocket rocket! When I revved the accelerator I literally set off car alarms across the street!

I cropped this image tight in for two reasons.

One: I wanted to show off the continuous line from the front to the back.

Two: I liked the shadow side of the car and felt the high-key nature of the rest of the photograph distracted from it.

This was shot using direct sunlight with the car on a loading dock where everything was concrete and steel that was painted white. I had my camera's color contrast set to vivid. I shot in jpeg and PP was in PS's RAW tool where I adjusted the curves and lowered the clarity slider to -20. This helps to create a smoother transition in the gradients found in the paint.

-Cheers!

Hello Steve,

Congratulations and TFS.

Steve, Lucky you! I bet this was a blast to drive. Gorgeous yellow color. I like the way the sun played with the shadows on the car. This would be nice too made more modern by increasing the saturation. Fun photo to play with in post processing I'm sure. Lisa

Great car shot!

I like the angle and the crop. Colors are great and makes the car pop off the page.

Detail oriented shot.

Very nice
