However you got there, I'm not a car shooter but to me these are superb.

You're not wrong, but the problem with perfection is that after a while you stop noticing it.

Maybe that's a zone where people shooters were once more fortunate: the people allow for imperfection despite the best attempts to hide it. (Not to divert this thing, but I suggest that that's not a million miles from the recent thread about fashion and everyone trying to ape everyone else. With the advent of so much manipulation being possible, the differences between both models and photographers become smoothed out to an anodyne semi-glow that is lukewarm at best.)

I understand Rob. I am always telling architects that we don't want to go to far with the PS cleanup. If we do it starts to look more like a rendering rather than a photo and that weakens its credibility in some venues. For example concrete and asphalt is never perfect. The "Pillsbury Dough Boy" look may be alright for some venues but if the image is to be used for editorial or design competitions the photos need to show some real imperfection and almost all my AP must cover advertising as well as editorial or design competitions.

Guys, Thanks for the compliments! Here's a couple more I like. Jim

Re. the Packard: my one-time Fords, both Fiesta XR2 and Escort XR3i had twin spots too! Or maybe one was a fog? Can't remember and seldom used them. What I do remember, is that my Fiat X1/9 also had two additional lights, but they came with covers and these were always in place when I though I might want to use them... very useful indeed.

But apart from that, smashing pix!

Edit: I suspect that the Ford spots were both spots and acted as 'main beam' when you needed most light... confusing.

That's what I was thinking. Both the cars and the images.

Nice one, Antonio!

Guys, Again, thanks for the compliments! Antonio, I like the shot but don't understand the stuff with the vertical blur. To me it's distracting and if there was copy it might be a problem. The light is great and the ice looks awesome! Jim

Thanks for the comments. Thank you Scott, nice to see you here. The idea was for a Christmas poster, so the sketch brought by the art director had this effect on it. We did 3 separate shots. One was the sparkle falling down and then retouched in. The ice was real, 3 feet high and molded by us. the 2 main shots had the golden trans-iluminated background. ACH

Haven't had a drink in a lot of years, but I can still appreciate a great image of one!

Whilst I think the photography is great I have to question the concept. (And I know it was the art director) A decent whisky should not be drunk that cold !!!

Thank you Wolfnowl.
I totally agree with you Chris. Interesting and knowledgeable comment. Even though is meant for tropical countries, an 18 year old should be drank strait. ACH

i'll drink my rye with one ice cube, but that amount of ice is ridiculous

maybe the thought was similar to thawing the mastodon from the glacier

This is another Christmas campaign..
