Agreed though I'd prefer the color to be darker. I like my cars dark green.

 

[nk4e]

I want!

Ever notice the mini sign?

20 years of the "Ultimate" road car.

 

[Keef]

No quotations needed, definitely the most awesome thing I've ever seen. Imagine the new McLaren taking the old design and refining it further with more modern technologies. What a beast they could come up with. Everything from a direct-injected engine to modern tires LED tail lights, the thing could be insane.

 

[Jim Prower]

Has it really been 20 years? wow! Guess that shows just how timeless a design the McLaren was!

 

[Carlos]

I found a real good photographer.. I really love his style..

 

[Keef]

I see Fred's car in the background, the white coupe with the Gram Lights. Not Cananda Fred, Kentucky Fred lol. And yes, Kyle Crawford takes some nice pics, a lot of those are from Nashville.

No, almost.

It's more of the PS editing than photography.
Still good, don't get me wrong.

This. There isn't really anything stunning about the shots besides the post-processing making them pretty.

Looks like increased CLARITY in all of them to give that glass look. Pretty standard, primitive?, HDR technique. People still like it and as long as it's not cartoonish, looks good.

It's not only the editting, it's the angles, the creativity of the photographers mind.. Yes, there is alot of editting in those pictures and yes I really like the editted pics, but it's not that when you randomly take a bracketing picture it'll turn out nice..

 

[Joey D]

Ever notice the mini sign?

No I didn't until you pointed it out.

 

[McLaren]

No, almost.

It's actually been longer. The idea was conceived in 1988 & by 1990, the car's development began.

A picture like this hasn't been taken in over a decade.

 

[speed junkie]

That car is just...👍

EDIT: For those of you who have not seen it

With the amount of editing done anyway, I wouldn't be surprised they're all cropped to give a more appealing view.

Yeah, they're celebrating 20 years from when development started, cars weren't produced til 1992.

From a professional automotive photography standpoint, there is very little actual photographic technique being used. There is nothing technically good about the photos, both on and off camera. The amount of normally unseen scrutiny that good automotive photography gets has been totally ignored in his shots. If you know what to look for, these are very plain.

 

[Time_Attack]

I'm not familiar with the blue one on the right. Thats a crazy front lip.

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

I think it's the Longtail F1 just toned done a bit for street use. It's hard to find pictures of it, but I love it.

Although this one's my favorite.

 

[homeforsummer]

I think my favourite has always been the LM

That said, there's a lot going for the original, standard road car too. Still one of the greatest supercar shapes ever.

 

[WeinerSchnitzel]

Just eerie

Hate it, or love it.

I honestly don't think I could say it better myself.

Like I said before, rather generic pictures with decent post-processing.

It's the F1 GT, the road version of the '97 GTR. Only 3 in existence.

Without trying to be funny, is this the first time you've seen photos like this? Because there's a lot of other photographers that take similar photos, you should check them out, they're awesome. 👍

True that. I can't disagree at all. I think I 'trapped' into his editting skills.

Are you trying being funny? You are right, but I often see photos like these actually.. They are just, dunno, different..

But I still love his pics, I wish I knew how he editted those pics..

Some pics I've took..
I'm allowed to post pics I've taken myself right? Or only photos that others made?

(The black car is my previous car..)

Previous previous car (I totalled it)

And a HDR shot

If some one could explain me how to edit the pics, get them shofter and cleaner like he did.. Please tell me

 

[Keef]

Just eerie

Oh. Oh god no. That car didn't become that, it just didn't! No! Do not accept!

So the story goes...

...and it ends so badly.

Mike Burrough, I pity you. It's awesome, but not in a good way. that's rad as ****.

Also...

Just using a sound aperture for the pictures for DoF stuff, and then a bit of bracketing and HDR work, done properly, combined with fiddling with the curves a bit and some burning and dodging...

I've seen pictures of that before...

[Bram Turismo]

It's the F1 GT, the road version of the '97 GTR. Only 3 in existence.

Wow, never knew there was a road going version of that machine. I honestly do think it is and always will remain the best looking supercar ever made. No other car, even a Veyron or a Zonda, impress me as much as a Mclaren F1.

 

[Keef]

You're right, you have seen pictures of it before. I edited in a few for the people that didn't know where this car came from.

EDIT: And I'm behind on the times. I didn't notice the difference between the shiny bright shot and these latest, but besides the headlights this is the difference...
