So, after 3 weeks of (very proud!) ownership, I finally got a couple of half decent pics of my launch Z (although the lighting could be better..). I gotta say I am besotted, especially after she's looking so shiny from her polish and wax up today :D :D








I have yet to find the right light to photo my Z. i reckons white is difficult to photograph properly!!!

You're onto something there. It is quite difficult to get a good shot of white :eusa-think:

Best effect i got was this one where the background contrasts very good and there were really bright roof lights. Also newly polished :) And this is just taken with a phone camera so it's not a great quality picture either.

White is easy to over expose on and blend into the background, my suggestion is for indoor use a tripod and don't use a flash and outdoor, adjust your camera settings to be slightly under exposing or enhance the picture with something like Picasa or any free software you get with your camera :)

You can at least tell that paint is Pearlescent though (which is very difficult to do in bright sunshine especially).

If I didn't love how Pearl White looks (in the flesh) so much, I might be half tempted to do as DKZ5745 suggests :lol: My sister is an ameteur photographer, i'll have to get her on the case.. she'll enjoy the challenge!

Hi I think low evening sunlight is a good light to catch the pearlescent paint at its best.
