Thanks to Jeremy for trusting me with his "baby" and for Todd and Ryan for the vote of confidence in my workmanship.
 
Nice work. Cool color on the Vette. I forget the name of it, but isnt it kinda rare? I dont see that many Green Vettes around these parts.
 
I think the color may be called Bowling Green, its a pretty rare color. What a gorgeous color combo too, love the two tonned interior too.

Nice work as always, Greg. :)



Did you get any PTG readings on that vette?

Very nice work on the correction Greg. So how was the CC on the vette working with M105?

I really like the 105 on hard clears, I was given a tip by RickRack to use a drop of OP when using 105 to help and it seems to be a great idea. I tried it without OP and had more issue then with it.

Great job Greg! After shot #3 was outstanding!:wow: What camera did you use?

I just have a cannon A550, on a tripod and set it on timer to reduce the vibration and allow me to work in lower light.





Again thanks to RickRack for the tips on 105!

I believe its either Bowling Green or Fairway Green....I have a feeling Fairway Green was only available in early C5's (97-99). I agree with Striker....its probably Bowling Green.
