First photoshoot

**Marus92** · 07-31-2011, 12:26 PM

Hey guys

So I asked a friend of mine if he'd want to hang out with me and take some pictures. Since they came out great, I thought I'd share them.

I also wanted some of you guys to get to see what I drive and to put a face on the nickname.

They're HDR tone, full HDR, color tone and saturation edited. I did my best considering it was random tweaking. Some have focal background adjustments and lens corrections.

Location: Moncton NB

Cool shoot, the 2nd shot looks like a RC car on a backdrop with the focus work done.

Your GT-R is miiiiintt man. I love the pics, especially the 2nd one. Great job

Favorite pics are 6 and 8. Beautiful car man. Looks like a showroom condition car that Nissan just sold to you. Wow!

LOL trust me guys the car isn't mint; just photogenic

There's a big scratch on the hood that doesn't show up on pictures for some reason and one of the rocker covers has had curb rash in Japan. Also my valve covers have been flaking like crazy this year for no reason, It needs a repaint. The rear quarters will also eventually be scrapped; the japanese owner's bodyshop liked bondo too much. Well, everything is a work in progress I guess.

I've only recently dissassembled the bumper and trim, restored the lip and fixed the misaligned mounting points. Painted the lip and the trim around the IC grille with Krylon Ultra flat, looks just like OEM, just smoother! (sanded with 2000 grit)

This is when I got her. I'm not embarrassed to show the picture anymore:

Oh and forgot another pic, unedited:

I took this picture after having to wash her in the rain. I had just come back from a trip form Bathurst to Moncton and the IC alone had eaten 3 dragonflies.

Thanks for the kind words

Now at least you guys know what I me and my GTR look like.

EDIT: See the chain on that last pic? Two days ago I forgot the padlock with the key in it next to the cinderblock while I went for a drive... when I came back someone had stolen it. Wow.
