ZR1 Photo Shoot
« on: May 29, 2011, 11:29:03 pm »
Hi all.  I had the pleasure of meeting one of the corvette forum members last week for a photo shoot with his car, a really nice Black ZR1!  Brian, the owner was great to work with, very generous with his time, and couldn't have been more helpful.  GD was also a very good VAL (Voice Activated Light-stand)  :rofl2:

Anyway, hope you like them!  :)  I really really like this car, especially with the mild to wild switch he had installed...

Love those gauges in imperial measures.   I guess this was a US car then

I think so, it was tough getting a vibration free shot when revving it! And no unfortunately I didn't get to drive it.. Thanks for the kind comments.

I love the hood shot. Glorious Carbon!

Who gave you that idea?  :stick:

I'm just so happy you gave me a call so I could come out with you guys to shoot my favorite car. It was so nice of you.  :shuffle:

My sense of humour really, really digs this one.   ;D

Amazing, thoughtful work, Bob.  All with the new Tokina, or others?
