So I have found 2 professional photographers that took pictures of my car at COTA, and I want to get one printed on canvas for my office. I just wanted to get some opinions on which one I should choose.
The banner image and these other 2 are all from the same photographer, and the rest are located !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . I think that I like the first one on the Photo Motion page, since you can't really see my GoPro in it. I am really kicking myself now for mounting my GoPro on the roof instead inside my windshield like a normal person! But I am wondering if it would be possible to photoshop out the GoPro in the banner picture, because honestly that is one of my favorites. Any photoshop experts know if that's possible? I do also like the one of me chasing down the 2002 in the slideshow as well. So what do you think Oppo?

Ah! A 2002! I vote this one for reasons!!!
But I think I would go with the second one on this page. But the first and third shots on AutoMotion are also really cool

I have a few that I need to pick from for my BMW. Supposedly Costco does a good job with printing those on canvas.
Also, GoPro on the roof makes better video. It's scientifically proven as a fact.

The 'murdered-out' look isn't usually my deal, but i must say, i dig the lettered slicks. #2 ...#1 is boring (looks like it's standing still compared to 2) and #3 looks like a bland attempt at being artistic.

In the above 3 pictures I keep wanting to see the car more centered in the picture

I'll be perfectly honest with you, I don't care much for any of the Photo Motion shots. Maybe it's the presentation, with the reduced file size and the heavy watermark, but there's not a sharp image in the lot. I'm certainly not a professional, but I do a lot of aviation and sports photography, and I likely wouldn't have kept any of them. That being said, I would go for one of the StudioWZ shots, even with the GoPro. It's the best representation of the car. I would like to see a little PS work to lighten the shadows and bring out more of the grille and tire detail. For that very reason, the BW shot is a bit better. I'm also not crazy about the composition of the shots. I think they are a bit high in the frame, and I've always felt that when something is going somewhere, there should be a bit more open space in the direction it's going, which means the car should be a bit more to the right of frame (thinking about the third one here). SO — all that being said, and assuming this is all I have to vote on, I'd go for the middle one on this page, with a little PS work to bring out the details.
Sorry for the dissertation, but you asked....

My favorite. I removed the GoPro and fender antenna.

Honestly, I'd go with #14 of the slideshow because you can see the tower dealy there. Or #11 from the slideshow. I know what I look for when I shoot races, and I honestly think the photographer was trying to guarantee shots and sped his shutter speed up a lot to ensure sharp, crisp photos...unfortunately that can take away a lot of the sense of motion from the photos.
Which I know that's not what you suggested at all...but...internet, opinions, yada yada yada.

Wow excellent job man. This definitely shows me that it can be done, and since most people like this picture I think it is going to be my choice.

No thanks a lot for your opinion I appreciate it. I think I am going to ask her to PS the GoPro and antennae out and mess with the lighting a bit.

Nice car is that the Laguna Seca splitter? What else are you running?

laguna seca parts were out of my price range. So i went with a stillen one(it works). Also i have a whiteline watts link(fantastic). Some eibach coilovers(amazing). The rear seats are gone and now there is a steeda brace there. Also above the rear shock towers. Up front there are boss brake ducts leading to sloted stoptech rotors and race pads. Chassis bracing, dyno tune, intake and carbon fibre bits (all are painted except for spoiler). Getting new wheels and tires in a few weeks as well

Hot damn that's a serious set up. I am still working on my driving skills to run TT with NASA in a year or so, so I am starting to plan my build. I started researching a 5.0 swap into my car, and it seems doable, surprisingly. I have the Fays2 Watt's link which I freaking love right now. I have Koni Yellow's and Steeda springs, but eventually plan to switch to some kind of coil overs, probably some double adjustable remote reservoir types. What set of wheels are you planning on?

Ha, I ordered the Photomotion pack last year.
I second the 2002 shot. Very nice.

Actually, even though I like the 2002 shot because 2002!!!, this one gets my vote:
Nice blurred view of the garages. Shows where you are. Nice blur, too.

TT is a fun time. I have koni yellows in my DD '12. Originally i wanted to save up for some HRE competition wheels, but they are damn expensive. I think im just going with SVE drift 18x10, 285 dunlop direzzas all around

I would also suggest checking out the Vorshlag/D-Force wheels I am running. They are crazy light, priced decently, and I know right now the Drifts are probably back ordered still (I tried to get those originally).
