Fake Cobra

Just saw this add on craigslist. He's got a lot of stuff done to the car but it still doesn't justify putting Cobra badges on a GT....

I like how he lists 03/04 Cobra side skirts but doesnt have them on.

Sacramento, LOL!

Those are probably the WORST cell phone pics I have ever seen in my entire life.... Too ****ing bad I am not out there right now or I would offer to go do a proper shoot with his car for $50 bux.

Razr Camera phone ...VS... Canon 1D Mark III w/ 24-105mm plus three Alien 800's.....

No contest!

I got a 2 megapixel camera on my cell phone... still doesnt beat my moms 8.1mp camera.

My sidekick has a 1.3mp LOL

My 1DIII is a 10mp but it shoots 10 frames per second, its Canon's #1 sports body.

Here is a couple that I shot just for fun, no lighting, no setting up, just messing around.

You can tell the dealership is where I hang out at a lot.

This is actually Performance White but the 7 exposure natural style HDR turned it silver a little.

They dont look like they are real. Looks like they are painted.

The 10' is HDR so its going to look like that a little, the 07' is a single exposure, just edited a little.

You can see full res on my flickr, but both cars were dirty because the dealership NEVER washes their cars so there are some imperfections.

My ideal shoot is a fully detailed car in a better more open scene where I can properly light and back away from the car to bring out a little more bokeh in the background.

I try to shoot between F8 - F11 so bokeh is minimal anyways, but I want most of the car to be in focus.

My photostream is just for fun, so nothing really good :P
It goes back to my 40D and my old XTi so the first pics are really old.

That car is sick, and looks good but it really could do w/o the badges. I mean, ppl with cobras even take the badges off :S
