Mercedes SL 65 AMG Black Series photoshoot!

DieselPower · 08-15-2010, 12:08 AM

no way is that matte

BMWinNorthdakota · 08-15-2010, 12:14 AM

Beautiful.. but ^^+1

Chewy734 · 08-15-2010, 12:19 AM

Perhaps I was mistaken then... they had a couple white Mercs there. You're right, it doesn't seem like matte white, my bad.

beastly machine

Bimmer Nerd · 08-15-2010, 02:23 AM

I am sorry but if you look closely at the door handle + some specific body parts, it clearly has a gloss finish to it. i'd say i am 99% sure that it has a gloss finish, rather than matte.

But i love the pics tho, you can't make that car look bad, i think its impossible.

Los Angeles · 08-15-2010, 03:06 AM

I love the background you used for the photos.

It really showcases the car well.

Also, I like the fact that you did the pics in black in white, considering the color of the car. It really added 'emotion' to the pictures, if you will.

The only thing you could have revised was the zoom on the pics to capture the car in more of the picture and less background.

Still, it was very good concept and you did a pretty good job on executing the idea.

Yeah, I really don't know. The other SL 65 AMG Black Series they had was Silver.

Any specific photos you wanted in high resolution? Or all? What resolution?

anthony @ eas · 08-16-2010, 01:32 PM

Wow, such a beautiful car. Awesome shots too.

z92 · 08-16-2010, 05:45 PM

GreenMangoes · 08-16-2010, 07:15 PM

Those are some pretty awesome photos. Great shots for being an amateur!
