A classic shot, the lighting was perfect here. I went to a dealership and had very basic settings. I didn't have to compensate for lack or light or too much light. It was one of the easier shots of the set. What this photo lacks in originality, I think it makes up with clean aesthetics.

I think this may be my favorite photo of the set. An owner invited me to his home to take a picture of his pride and joy. He had a one of those fancy garages where there were movable lights on the ceiling. It was easy to move those around to get the perfect lighting. I also used a fancier new lens I just acquired on this photo, I've been using the free lens that came with the camera and thought I might as well splurge nearing the end the class and try to take advantage.

Argghh... this was tough. I didn't know how the heck I could take a photo of this shifter without having myself reflected. The only think I can think of was to photoshop myself somehow out. It's a shame because I liked this photo and all I can do is zero in the reflection of myself on the polished mirror shine of the shifter.

I like how this photo turned out. I felt that aspects of the angle and composition made the photo appear like the car may be in motion. I didn't do anything in particular to achieve the effect. I think its just a great testament to designers from the famed design house Pininfarina giving these cars a very fluid form factor.

I think simple yet moving elements on a car is achieved when passionate designers use ornamentation effectively. Take these side louvers for instance. Such a simple design element that stirs emotion in me. I like this photo as I think I capture the focus effectively on the black steps, it adds to the overall car's form. The background effectively blurred to keep the viewers attention on the trim.

Ferrari was the first to start exhibiting the engine as art in itself. I found this aspect fascinating. To get this shot, I had to make sure the lighting was just right. I had the owner drive the car into a shaded area, and I waited until just after sunrise the colors wouldn't go over saturated. I had a longer than usual shutter speed because the light wasn't over bright. I like how this one turned out.

I wasn't a big fan of this photo. I couldn't get the lighting just right. I tried different angles and different settings, but I couldn't get this sheen/glare out of the final shot. I was wondering if one of the filters would have helped. I do like the subject photo, a lot of components in the cars reminded me of culinary tools.

I tried to use faithfully the "Golden Hour" and take advantage of nature's dawn and dusk to my advantage. I learned to appreciate how much nicer photos turned out just by abiding by these opportune moments. I took another similar shot that looked super dark or over-saturated. This time, I woke up earlier and met an owner at a restaurant. The results were much better, and I have learned to appreciate those "Golden Hours."

This is not a shot of the cars, of course, but some Ferrari driving shoes. I think even though there is not a car here, it shows the love for the brand and experience. I like the colors here and the composition. This ended up being one of my favorite photos from the set.

I thought this photo was cool in that I didn't have to use a macro lens to capture still a lot of the details of the headlight. I also thought it was neat it is hard to decipher what exactly the photo shows. Even though I think some can't easily identify the photo, at first, glance, I think it is a striking beautiful photo that implies value without real meaning or context. A very interesting juxtaposition in the presentation.

I think this is one of the most straightforward shots of my collection. I liked the yellow color, and I had to take the photo pretty quick because the sun was coming up and caused terrible reflection and glare reflecting off cars shiny waxed surfaces. I was glad I was able to get this before to full blast of the sun would have made the shot oversaturated.

At the dealership, I enjoyed seeing all the holiday decorations. I thought it would be interesting to take a photo of this red car, in front of red flowers, with a big fat red bow! I think the histogram plot of this photo would like pretty biased indeed!

One thing I encountered over and over for this project was the sheer passion people had for this marque. They would own toys, posters, books, clothes, movies, heck even statues bearing the prancing horse. I wanted to capture that love somehow without being gaudy or hokey. I met this gentleman that had some Ferrari gloves and was just so proud of his car. I feel this photo conveys the pride and happiness this brand brings to so many.

Meet Mitchel Le. He was one of the friendliest enthusiasts I met at a car show. I asked him what made him so enamored about Ferrari? He told me that no other car manufacturer has so much passion built into its products. I like this photo because the sun was just rising and I all the shots I took of his car looked too bright. I asked him to face the sun and to have the light hit him from that angle. I think that made the photo work.

I thought this was a neat photo. I was in a situation where there was not a lot of light, but I set a longer exposure and aperture setting. I think the result was good given the situation. I like this photo because it shows the craftsmanship that goes into small elements of these vehicles. The swirling design is a neat touch to an otherwise mundane element on most cars.

I think this is the classic Ferrari shot. With the classic red paint, that is so well known throughout the world. It is a straightforward shot. I made sure to take this shot in the shade and that no hanging shadows were anywhere.

On most cars I am not a fan of stripes, but for some reason when I saw it on this car, I liked it. I think it added to the character of the vehicle without being ostentatious. I took several shots and was trying very hard not to have swirls in the paint between the hood and front bumper. I think this is a situation where more controlled lighting equipment and of course better skill than I have would have served me well.

I think one reason I found this subject so interesting was just how beautiful some of these cars are.

I tried some experimentation here in Photoshop. I was going for a 90's neon sort of look that has been trendy lately. I think was able to do an okay. I picked this photo because it was already somewhat already saturated so I figured I might be able to salvage it by modifying it in Photoshop.

This is a fun shot. I also played with enhancing it with photoshop because the lighting was not optimal.
