I tagged along with a Cizeta V16T on the way to the Pasadena Art Center Show last week:

Very nice..I really like #1 and #2 but personaly I dont find the location fits that kind of car for the statics.

I think all of the images having an angle to them is a bit awkward. Nice consistancy on the red paint as a series :)

I had 10 minutes to shoot the car right after a car show, so I didn't have much choice.

The car looks like a menage a trois between Vector, Diablo and NSX. ...only minor participation from the latter.
#1 is nice.
#3 does not flatter the car, as it seriously flattens out the nose. A higher shooting angle might have helped.
If 10 minutes were all you had, nice job.

Interesting critiques...I guess I'm not looking at the photos like you guys are. I like putting slight angles into the photos because it seems to give a more aggressive feel to the photos. Part of it might be the background - a tilted horizon lines probably looks worse when there are trees in the background. I also shot several front 3/4 shots at different angles and thought that was the best view.

I think a bit of angle can work for some images (alot of times it can be taken to far in my opinion) but in a series of 8 images and not a single image is level,I think if just a few of them had a tilt the tilt would be more effective instead of having them all tilted. Just personal preference I guess.

Very good for 10 minutes..I know finding good places to shoot can be hard sometimes..especially when ya dont have much time..

if you look at the angles in 3/5/7, it makes the car look agressive. But the angle in 4 isn't as complimenting.
I am a fan of 2 though. Something about the shot just looks 'good' to me!

I've shot the car, but it was with my P&S camera. Engine is crazy in that V16!

Hey Morgan! You will have to let me know how your new rig turns out. I'm checking one out on Thursday to see how it works.
