Some pics of my 355...

[ian_uk1975]

Sadly for me, now sold to another PH'er. Took these on the last day...












































For those that are interested, pics were shot with a Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM attached to a Digital Rebel (300D) body.

Cheers,
Ian.

Fantastic photos Ian, I'm sure the new owner will be loving it. I'll have to learn about processing pics, how did you make the colour so vibrant?

They look fantastic. F355 still the best car in the world.... Ever!

I have to agree. I keep coming back to look at the pics on this thread again.

Any chance of a hi-res version of a couple?

Thanks. Red saturation was increased and master saturation was decresed in Photoshop. Additional post included shadows/highlight work and sharpening. Some also had a little NR applied to reduce any visible ISO noise brought-out by boosting the shadows.

Cheers,
Ian.

Great shots Ian, I still think the 355 is the most beautiful car Fezza have ever produced.

Thanks for sharing the glass you used too, I'm in the market for a new lens for my Canon, do you recommend it?

Thanks.

Actually, that's the first time I've used that particular lens; had it sitting around in its box for months! I got it mainly because it's so fast (aperture-wise). Constant f/2.8 throughout the zoom range + IS adds another 3-stops, so perfect for low available light work. Optics are nice and sharp, too.

Cheers,
Ian.
