Default 04' 350ZR professional shoot for Nissan calendar

These pictures were taken in the SF Bay Area, copyright Ron Kimball Studios:









I wish we had the (new) wheels on it during the shoot (SSR GT3, 19x9 front with 275/30, 19x10.5" with 305/30 BIG lip).

There are a lot more Nissan pics to peruse here: http://www.kimballstock.com/results....&F=0001&Step=1

No. I didn't pay him. These are obviously the low-res versions. Look through the rest of his work - he gets requests for various vehicles for various applications.

The photograph are good quality, is just the background is too busy and it distracts from the car. Also he didn't apply any special technique so it makes it look ordinary.

If this is your car, why did you start this same thread in the Nor-Cal section asking if anyone knew where this location was because you wanted to take your car there to do some shots?

I don't know where Ron took the car. I want to go back on my own and take some MORE shots. This one with the new wheels and my 300. I like the area, but he wouldn't elaborate on exactly where he took it. Photographer's secret, I suppose.

Maybe if he adjusted the aperture to blur out the background a bit, it would've given more focus on the Z.

Sample:
