TL/TLS/CLS Photoshoot! *56k = death*

* Mods: I am posting on both A-CL and A-TL since the photoshoot features both cars and just thought I would like to share with everyone on both boards, so please don't delete either one, thanks. *

Hey guys, last night I met up with my buddy in his WDP TL-S and shinyblueCLS (in his CL-S course ) and did a photoshoot in the area.
Pretty happy with how the pictures turned out... so thought I would show you all, enjoy!

Yeah, I need a drop and wouldn't mind rims either.

Photos taken with Canon S50, tripod used in most cases.
Edited with Adobe Photoshop... brightness/contrast/color balance/levels tweaked, along with some cropping here and there.

btw if any of you want higher-res' just post and i'll upload the specific pic(s).

Because imo night-time shots are hott.

The lightning is very different from day-time... and depending on the location you can get some interesting views/angles plus paint chips or most imperfections on the car wouldn't be seen.

There is also a rather... dramatic effect taking shots at night. take for example... the reflection and difusion of light from the brake and parking light... something you will never see in day pics.

But yeah, not trying to convince you or anything, simply a little (and rather sucky) explaination.

Btw thank you for all the compliments! Glad you guys like them too!

thanks steve!
you have taken shots there too? it was actually just a random idea my friend and i had after the garage shots but sorry for jacking ur idea haha :P

adjustments?
mostly brightness and contrast... also since the auto white balance on my Canon isn't best, I had to add more of a blue hue to most of the pics for a more balanced and natural look. and other stuff here and there too... nothing dramatic. some were over-exposure so i didnt post those.

oh and... camera settings... anywhere from 1/4" to 2" exposure with various f-length but mostly 2.8 to capture as much light as possible. ISO 50 for least noise in pics and... retaking shots at almost every angle to ensure they aren't blurred.

haha thanks again!
oo where do you work at? and yeah that's where holly hits the race track entrance on huntington. it was like 1:30am-ish so hardly any cars around... we were actually kind of scared of cops/security harassing us but forunately no one came. also i realized the covered parking structure would make a sweet place for a photoshoot too... good lightning, and even more space than the garage place i took the earlier shots!

what kind of rims are on the white tls?

I'm kinda partial to the blue CL for some reason... I can't figure out which one I want as my Wallpaper. You guys did a DAMN good job though. Very nice. And I love the dramatic border. Makes it look like an expensive artistic magazine. More pics of the CL please.
