Re: New photos of my 997TT taken by a friend
Very nice. "Looking out the window" with the catchy window pane pattern is great, but my favorite is the one with the aggressive stance and the mean looking ass. :-) Background is interesting yet not distracting and those yellow brakes are PERFECT.
Re: New photos of my 997TT taken by a friend
cannga, I was hoping to hear from you. I need to take some new pictures with the new lowered stance (thanks to the Damptronics) which makes the rear end look even more aggressive.
I had you in mind when I took this particular picture because I know of your propensity towards images taken using natural light.
This one although a flash was used, turned out quite well.
And this one shows off the Cobalt Blue really well
JoeRockhead, I like the way the Techart wheel looks and feels. Complements my interior quite well.
edz61, I removed them because the finish got marred when some baked on dirt couldn't be cleaned off. I really like the way the stock tips look (at least for now) anyways.
harryo2b, I'm not sure how you mean by that. More horizontal?

Re: New photos of my 997TT taken by a friend
Hey thanks for thinking of me! 
Yes I love natural light (vs. flash) for sure, but the "propensity" is actually towards the *golden hours* of natural light: dawn, sunset, and in particular the time right after sunset. I just love the atmosphere of street and house lights coming on just right when there is a teeny bit of light left from the disappearing sun. Somehow it always looks "festive," warm, and pretty to me. Like this shot of Positano I am enclosing.
The more I look at it, the more I like that shot through the windows pane btw. And although I don't usually enhance contrast or black level by curves/level too much, I even like the alteration by Harry. Nice and unsual shot of a gorgeous car! (I assume this compliment is for yours to, Over-the-Hill, which ever shot it is that's your car--I can't tell!
)

Great shot of Positano! When were you there? That's coolest one-road town I've ever been to!
Re: New photos of my 997TT taken by a friend
Thanks. I can't PM the high resolution shot; please send me your email.
Jason (Atomic) uses Nikon.
I use Canon 1D, the car with 85 f/1.2 L (the mother of all portrait lenses), the Positano shot with either 24-70 L or 35 f/1.4 L.
Joe: This shot was around 2005. Yes Positano is spectacular. IMO Italy is one of the prettiest places on Earth, and Amalfi Coast the prettiest of Italy. BTW Positano is so steep I think it's a stress test waiting to happen. LOL.

Cannga, this is a stunning scenery shot (so is the car shot too). Any chance you could PM a high res? I need a new wallpaper shot and this is awesome.
By the way, what did you shoot this with?

Re: New photos of my 997TT taken by a friend

I know. I've already done that, just not with my car.
