(finally) Here are some shots from the GT3RS shoot i did a few weeks back....its taken a while to get the pics processed but I really enjoyed this shoot - haven't done one for a while. Fabulous car, silky smooth engine, gorgeous steering, fabulous body control - a real drivers car; so what if a 550bhp hyperMerc is slightly quicker in a straight line, these things are FUN!!! I'm really not a Porsche fan, but this one I like. A lot.

Nice one! I particularly like the post processing you do on your pictures.

Liked 1,3,4,15 & 18.

Did you need permission to park the car that close to the building front/revolving doors? All in or near Canary Wharf?

Cheers. Got about 5 shots in front of that building before being moved on by security Got a contact card though so I know who to contact next time. You need to speak to CW press office to be allowed to do shots on the premises, all of the shots were taken within a 4 mile radius of CW but only the car park ones were in CW itself.

I like this one too - it's a shame about the reflection on the driver's side front light - but I guess selectively turning off lights in a car park isn't really an option!

I notice the wheel colour looks quite different between the outdoors and carpark shots, is this due to your processing or was it just the light?

(this may be painfully obvious to those less amateur than myself)

Very nice shots and car by the way

The pics look great but in many of them the Blue is completely different to real life due to the post processing, it enhances it as a stylised image but not as an accurate portrait of the car, if you see what I mean.

I want an RS

The blue does seem to get severely affected by minor saturation changes, but to be fair to Steve, even taking a representative picture of that colour before adjustment is very very hard. If you look through all the magazines they almost all upped the saturation and made it darker too. Not sure what it is about this shade of blue, but I've never known a colour so hard to photograph before. I would bet money the colour looks different between pictures before any post-production.

For what its worth, the outdoor shots are a bit more representative but its not quite so lairy.

Be interested to know the technical reasons why this colour is such a pain. Anyone know?

Great Pictures...

If you ever want to take piccies of a faster RS let me know. As everyone knows the red ones are quicker
