Default It's so hard taking pictures of a white car...

Especially one that's freaking BRIGHT white...

I just can't get the camera to cooperate. I just have a point and shoot, however it's a higher grade point and shoot that allows you to do a bit of adjusting but alas I can't ever get decent pictures anymore...

It was VERY harsh light out so next time I'll take pictures at dawn/dusk and without the sun shining directly on the car to see if that helps.









Probably one of my new favorite shots of the car.



Finally got a decent picture of the engine bay half way cleaned up since doing the heat delete and computer relocation.

Spectacular looking car. Ive watched it evolve over the years, and its turned out great. I have a buddy that lives in Charlotte that I visit sometimes. I'd love to see it in person the next time I'm up there. It makes me miss my white 01 Camaro.

The pictures look good, and so does the car.
Did you try messing with the white balance?
That could give you results that you might like more.

Thanks all, I've got a few more pictures of the engine bay/interior from this weekend's Auto Fair at Lowe's Motor Speedway I'll upload in a bit. I just got in from the sweltering heat and wanna relax for a bit. haha.

I bought them like 5 years ago off of ebay. They're OEM stuff just can't hardly find them anymore.

As a previous owner of a white Pontiac Ill give you a few tips.

Take pics either EARLY in the morning as the sun is just about to come up or right after the sun has gone done. Generally, that is the best time for any pictures but with a white subject the sun light has to be really neutral.

Good looking bird for sure!

Car looks phenomenal. Mid-day is really a bad time to take pictures, harsh light like you said, they still turned out great though. I can' think of a thing I'd change on that car. May LS1 tails with sequential lights?
