I'll try to keep them coming. (How's that?)

I am so glad I read the thread from the beginning, otherwise I might have thought I was on the wrong forum...

 

Enjoying the salacious nature of this thread aside, the confirmation is wonderful. It lets me know that I am likely not crazy. At least for the time being. The more I think about the design of the cup holder, especially with no cover, I can only assume they didn't think of Americans with their huge beverages. LOL

900 miles in 2 weeks since new... I've had a couple of chances to get it out on some nice mountain highways. It's a little smoky in CO from the NW fires but had an OK yesterday for photos.

 

@mjm3457 - gorgeous!

 

an angle you don't see every day :-)

 

Hmm, now you need some Orange on top

 

Just some fun.

 

That is just beautifull!

 

Thanks, here's another angle. This was one of the locations from the SoCal End of Summer drive.

 

It is not easy to capture the "true" color of IRR on photos, but I think you have succeded extremly well With both of these.


Thanks for sharing

 

IRR as well as BRG and Satellite grey are the deep metal flake colours Jaguar offers. They completely change the color from a deep lustrous color to a completely falt paint depending on the light source. They are ever changing.

 

Yeah I see way too many IRR photos posted that look more like Salsa or any other 'flat' red. I've taken many myself.

I found that the key is with contrast and reflections. Since there are so many great lines on the F-Type it is pretty easy to make them pop and when you do that, it usually brings out the true color as well.

It's definitely been a tricky car color to photograph.

 

Taking a photo of the car IN the sunlight while using a polarizer filter helps eliminate a lot of the stray reflections and helps show the real color of the car.

 

I tend to prefer to have some reflections especially if they bring out the curves and the different dynamic range/shades that these colors display in person.

The above shots were just using my cell phone (galaxy S6) and I applied a semi transparent red gradient across the top for the sky.

Here is a direct sunlight, with a DSLR but no filters. The front half is probably my best shot for showing exactly what IRR looks like in person. Unfortunately a white car is parked right next to it so that did muddle up the side reflection.

 

I don't think using a polarizer is going to remove any of the curves of the car. It's simply removing the harsh reflections. Your photo above could have been taken without the white car reflection.

Here's a quick example I poached from the internet.






Either way, IRR and BRG almost always look better in person!
