Beautiful photography! Does he really have that much camber in the rear or is it just the angle of the picture?

Get the light source higher. You lose most of your detail from the hood up. Angle the light source camera-right more towards the rear of the car.

Pretty good, just keep practicing and moving the strobes around to provide more even lighting, as well as adjusting strobe power to the results... keep checking your images to know what adjustments to make.

Thanks man. It looks pretty negative, but it's running stock suspension

Yeah, it was sooo cold outside I didn't spend as much time out there as I wanted to. Thanks for the advice, when it warms up I will give that a shot.. makes sense though.

Easily fixed

Yeah, practice is the only way to get stuff like this right. Preciate the advice

What are the temps down in Alabama, 40-50 degrees?

I have no motivation to take the cameras out since it's been 15-25 deg here for the last month

I wish! Right now it's 26 outside with 10mph winds (the killer), and "feels like" 16. Bleh. It's been in the 20s/30s recently, but supposed to get up higher this week.

Thank you! I'll pass the compliment along to Jeff. It is a very nice car
