Cool C6 Corvette Photos - sunset

I snapped these photos this evening, at a nearby boat launch ramp. Camera is a Canon Digital SLR Rebel XT, 10-22 wide angle zoom, polarizer filter, and an orange sunset Cokin slide filter. I shoot features for GM High Tech Performance magazine, just practicing with the hardware.













Here are links to 1640 x 1093 wallpaper size:

Here is one of the custom "Z51 SUPERCHARGED" emblems I had made:

Absolutely beautiful Tony! You definitely know how to mod a car...and
take some nice pics.

That's not the stock hood is it?

I had them custom made. Laser cut out of stainless, polished and the red "Z" painted.

damn! Looks great but I do not like the badges. I prefer the sleek look of no badges or molding. Just my opinion.

I figured you'd need a different hood to clear that blower. That thing looks
wicked. I don't think I've seen a nicer C6.

Cars are *the* hardest to get a good photo of, it takes a lot of practice to get those kinds of shots.

Car looks wicked...my mind kept putting a hot babe behind the wheel headin' down the freeway with a smirk on her face.
Its just that kind of sex on wheels
