PT's E39 M5

Met up with my friend PT today after work to shoot his E39 M5. Let me start off by saying I LOVE this car! Shooting it really made me miss having a red car, so now I'm thinkin my next car will definitely be red! What you see is what you get with this car. There isn't a ton of stuff done to the car, but then again it's an M5... does it really need much? This is his daily driver and the few things he has done are perfect for the car IMO. Intake, Exhaust, Chip, Cargraphic Racing 19 wheels, coilovers and that's about it.

 

On another note I felt like this was the first shoot in a while where everything seemed to just click once we figured out a location. I was able to setup the lights fairly quickly (getting better at it, haha) and felt like I was able to get most of the shots I was looking for with the exception of a few. I'm really trying to work on doing "full shoots" where I walk away from a shoot with a "360 degree view" of the car. I find that after setting everything up and dialing in the position of the flashes and their power settings I am a little rushed to get all the shots I want. I don't know how guys get in a full set of static shots and do some rig shots all in one shoot, but I'll get there.
