Hi everyone!

During the last couple of months there have been some spin-offs from my "BEAUTIES IN THE DARK" topic in the "DX Classic / Vintage" sub-group and I have started to do some daylight shootings too. This means that my footprint in the forum is becoming more and more fragmented - so I got the idea to consolidate my pictures in a member showcase.

To give it a start I will summarize what I shared since end of last year adding text, pictures and links here step by step.

Stay tuned...

Cheers Simon - you are always welcome here!

So let's kick it off.

My starting point is - of course - the famous Uhlenhaut Coupé by CMC:

That's the danger with DX, Cornbeef! ;-)
Don't wait too long, if you really want one - prices have started to rise (only the yellow version is still in production)...

 

[SpeedDemonGTS]

I wish I had seen these 250 GTOs in time! Prices are rocketing

 

[X-Filer]

I'd really like to get myself a Bentley Blower... looks quite nicelly done! But that GTO... oh my God, that GTO...

 

[MerkurKing16]

Oh man, those GTO pictures. Thanks for sharing!

Very Lovely Professional looking photography!!

...I truly need access to the photography area at my old college. Seeing images like this I'd love to go back to school and take a photography class.

Thank you so much friends!

Fair to say that it's not too difficult to get good photos of the 250 GTO because of the outstanding beauty of the car...

@David: You do not neccessarily need a professional studio to create this kind of pictures - great part of the pics is created by the help Photoshop.
If you're interested how simple the setup is where the Uhlenhaut and GTO pictures have been taken you can have a brief look (admittedly I meanwhile improved my setup a little bit but it still is very basic.)
