What a great gig! I'd love to do something like that.
Can I say, watch the focus. A few are a bit off*. Otherwise, that was a pretty comprehensive walk around 8-)

*Ignore that, it's only a couple, maybe I was flicking too fast and they weren't showing up fully in my browser :lol: .
Nice tight DoF, proper pro look.

I don't want to nit pick. Just looking at the key one (33) and the one of the controls on the centre armrest (44) - maybe you've just focused on a different point to the one I'm expecting to be in focus - 33, the stitching at the top of the leather fob, rather than the key?; 44, the leather on the top of the armrest rather than the vents?

I've now spent far too long looking at pics of a V12 7 series than is probably healthy.

Again, well done on getting involved in it. I guess all the cars they want to get good shots of are going to be interesting, so lots of cool details to look for and get pictures of.

Ah yes. That was deliberate. I was shooting at F1.4 and moved the focus point on to the Menu button on the iDrive for a bit DOF. Same with the Key shot. Focal point onthe BMW Badge on the keyring.

This was the previous shoot - this sold privately prior to the auction going live.

Good pictures, it'll never sell though. None of them are wonky, wobbly or of another car.

Great photos and that car looks like a lovely way to lose lots of money.

Pretty sure they need to be on a very shallow loch?
