Black is Such a Hard Color to Capture...
Without knowing how to PS or enhance the pics, black cars is just so difficult to photograph. The reflections from everything in the area is just so distracting.
But anyways, I tried to take some pics. So enjoy.

Thanks for the compliment.
And I agree, nothing compares to a black car right after a wash/wax but after a drive it is back to seeing all the dirt and swirl marks. I still love it though but there is a huge chance my next car won't be black. 2 more pics.

nice pics! and good locations!
yeah black and white are the hardest to get a perfect shot with, other colors seem to be a bit more cooperative

b & W cars are difficult to keep in a gleaming condition. Silver is probably best for minimal cleaning - it gets just as dirty, but doesn't show so much.
As for getting pictures - use the reflection to your advantage in order that the image is enhanced - otherwise for the perfect picture - use a studio - but you'll still have difficulty with reflections, but they're easier to manage (or at least the environment is) Oh and what a cracking location, and pictures. Car looks fantastic - Nice job

Thanks for the compliments.
I tried to take pics to avoid the reflections mostly from the hood but it is almost impossible as anything in sight just shows.

Car looks awesome! A drop is in order tho! Also have you considered the painted side markers? I have been thinking of that. Apparently it doesn't affect the signaling! I think ima order it for mine to complete the look. Yours would be clean if you got it.
MURDER it brotha! |
