Default potentially the greatest (quality) picture of a stock grabber blue mustang?

this was taken during a small photoshoot for an upcoming muscle car online store. not sure whats going on with them at this time... but i figured i'd share what i received from them. hoping to get a hand on more pics from the shoot though.

its a bitch to get a nice shot of this color, as any grabber blue owner knows... this was taken in a indoor studio. And is of my car only a week into ownership

yes, it was within the first week of owning the car that this was done.

It works out better for a company to have a stock car for photos so that they can photoshop product onto it. I actually was lucky enough to have made contact with these guys a few days before i purchased the car, so it worked out really well for the two of us.

its been months since the shoot though, and this and another huge photo at the same angle is all i've got, just received them this morning. i'm going to hound them for some more pics of different angles

It almost looks like a computer image.

its not about it being modded or different. its about the quality of the image. boring or not the picture is amazing and the color is correct. and since it's my car i'm especially proud of the photo. still in love with this car

it does look like a computer image... but i've also got a larger raw version of the file where you can see water spots from where i missed drying the car. you can even see the orange peel from the factory clear coat.

this is what you get from a professional indoor studio meant for taking pictures of vehicles.

It's a nice pic but I agree it looks like an image. It has to have been touched up somehow, look at the shadow that just doesn't happen.

this image itself has some post processing done to it. however, i'm looking at the larger 4503 x 2428 pixel image right now and there doesn't appear to be anything done other than removal of the background. however, i'm no expert. i do know that when you're dealing with such a large scale at 300 dpi, you're going to get an insane amount of information.

gotta understand, the picture was taken in an indoor studio with professional equipment and controlled lighting and was taken to be used in advertising for the website and as a vehicle to photoshop items onto. there is no doubt going to be some editing and smoothing of the final product... its no different than picking up a playboy or looking at any of these ads on this site. stuff gets edited for production

This photo was my desktop for the longest time. When I was in LA I went to Galpin and saw and took photo's of that car in person..amazing but too much money for the options added...
