Wow, excellent work, beautiful car.







But did you really have to add the little photoshop star/sparkle effect into every picture?



I dont think your work needed that

Excellent job.

There's no Photoshop in there; my crappy Samsung camera can capture those "sparkles", as well... that's also attributed to a perfect finish.
 
Photoshop..... if you knew me you would know how funny that is, I just learned how to post with photos only a few months ago(lmao) as for the lens does a Sony cybershot point and shoot have a another lens I was supposed to get with the camera???(giggle).



Bryan, on this write up I was under a huge time crunch to complete this car as I had not alloted 28 hrs to complete it and worked the majority of those "28" like almost half in the first day(and a big part of the night lol) so I did not chronicle all the steps and take lot's of pics. Today's job (ferrari 599) I am going for a more complete detailed pictorial as this car is one of my favourites!! along with all front engine V12 Ferrari's.

I stand corrected. Sorry. Still great work, that just kept catching my eye though. Wish I could get sparkle like that

A small aperature setting will cause the "sparkle" effect...really cool when you're doing night shots.



I am going to read my manual tonight or during lunch today, I had just the regular settings but this camera takes much better pics than my previous one which I bought because someone said my pics sucked and to get a better camera, the sales guy @ Bestbuy said this camera was one of the best point and shoot cameras, but someday I will have a Canon or other high end camera(when I recover from shop building deficit):dig.

I know this "issue" has been resolved but in reference to the sparkle effect you speak of that is completely normal. On paints that have been properly corrected and re-leveled the sun will create a straburst/sparkle effect when it shines on the finish. This is why you most never see that type of effect when direct sunlight is shining on a swirled up panel, thats because the light is getting refracted in a million different directions. Once you re-level and properly finish down the paint it becomes a flat surface again and the sparkle effect is seen.



...And Bob the finish is outstanding, very deep and from the sunshots it looks 100% perfect. I know this car was a ***** to finish down but it came out amazing:bigups
