These pics were taken using sunlight. It's a pretty cloudy day so the colours of the background is pretty subdued. When I get a chance, I'll re-shoot the car with halogen lighting.

The pictures look good anyway! Do you edit/photoshop them?

Beautiful and rare model, Felix! Is that Minichamps or Hot Wheels?

Awesome car Felix. Great pics too. I like the second one.
This one was the most goodlooking car on the grid too. :nicejob

I actually didn't have to photoshop them too much. I just adjusted the following:

Hue
Saturation
Unsharp
Contrast

I didn't even have that must dust to clean off as I usually have to do with the reflective black background. :woohoo

Hee hee. It's funny how digitial photography and the jpeg images can conceal the shortcomings of lower quality models. :giggle This is a Hot Wheels.

Thanks Winston. I'm not terribly content with these pics as I didn't have control over my lighting. I would have preferred the silver on the top of the car to look a little closer to how it looks in real life. It's got a funny shade of blue it seems. Maybe I had mucked with the "Hue" tool too much in Photoshop. :badidea

Felix,

Those are some beautiful pics :tongue

That background color is awesome, do you happen know the color of it as I think I would like to pick it up. :feedback

Thanks for the kind words Darrick.

As for the colour of the background?? Ummm..."orange"???? :giggle Seriously though, I don't recall seeing the specific colour name for it. In light of that, I'd describe it as a fairly bright and vibrant orange. The idea I had was that it would contrast strongly against the colour of the car. It's got a flat finish which means not much light gets reflected.

When I photoshop the image, I adjust the "Saturation" and "Hue" until I like what I see. :cheers

Thanks Gian. Yeah, I miss "The Flying Finn" too! I guess after a while, he kind of lost his edge that made him so competitive in the earlier days.

Great shots especially using daylight. Cool car, I think I will be getting more F1 cars because of you.
