Hey kbahl, nice pictures mate!
As one photogrpahy enthusiast to the other: how do you make those colors so vibrant? I assum you post-process them a bit, but would you be so kind as to tell how you do that? For example the pictures of the enzo, the red GT3 or the aston-martin: those colors really "pop", without being unnaturally saturated... looks awesome!

thank you. i edit all my pictures in Photoshop CS5. I am very OCD about colors looking the same just as if you were looking at the car in person. I select the ca, and use the color balance tool along with selective coloring to try and achieve the right color. Many times i end up with 4 or 5 layers of selective color grouped together just to get the color right
Personal opinion, no business or private relation with that company:
If you want the best quality from you RAW-photo you should try DXO software (only DSLR cameras). The RAW converter is better then everything I tried (High ISO images) , the functions for optics corrections are great and color controls are awesome. You can download a test version, complete version 150-300€ depending on your camera.
Thanks for explaining that to me,well to be honest, it can really be seen that you pay a lot of attention to the colors!
I might get back to you on how to do that exactly, since I am not really a crack with photoshop. I do all my raw editing in Capture Nx.
Itsme, thanks for the tip about DXO, will definately check them out!
Wow, tomorrow I'll leave for a four-day trip to Rome, should come back with a sh¡tload of pictures to play around with! :-)
