Photoshoot with "The King"

SLEEPYDUB · 05-18-2010, 01:08 AM

Took a chance to take a few pictures of the car today, with "The King of Rock and Roll". Big thanks to Adrian Zuniga for the awesome pics. He took a lot of time to find the right angle and spot to shoot. Very talented work. In the background is Elvis Presley and James Burton, in front of the Municipal Auditorium in downtown Shreveport, Louisiana.

and heres on he photo-shopped with b&w, he did it real quick as you can tell by the spots, but it still looks badass!

Let me know what yall think

that was rude, hes not a professional. He doesnt use photoshop to make the pics look better other than the black and white one. I think it came out great, but of course i am not a seasoned photographer like some people on here

I think the pics are pretty cool, I'm no photographer either. I imagine it's hard to get good shots of a black car at night without some extra lighting. I know it's hard to get black wheels to show up on a white car during the day! lol

Very nice, the stripes are growing on me too

sorry, rude or not, it looks like he used a point and shoot. just a basic understanding of white balance would have improved a lot of those, and you don't need photoshop for that. of course, if he's not a pro, then it doesnt really matter.

He used a D40, hes getting a D90 soon

Thanks for the compliments!

They are gunmetal, but the pics make the color fluctuate.

And the GF was supposed to be in the background, but she wasnt ready for the shoot, it was very last minute
