Default 2009 Jaguar XKR Portraits

Here's is a different way to present an image of a beautiful Jaguar XKR.

Portraits of my 2009 Jaguar XKR Portfolio Edition Convertible on canvas.

Richard,

They look great; the mountains, adobe house, blue sky and clouds in the background are spectacular! Perfect to hang in your man-cave! But I'd redo the last one - the power lines just don't do it for me. That beautiful rear end is worthy of a more complimentary setting.

I presume they're photos that you took and had converted to prints on canvas.

Stuart

Richzak - Your photos are very nice. I'm a sometime amateur photographer. I shoot a Nikon D7100. What camera/lens combination did you use? Did you do much post processing? If so, which program did you use, photoshop, lightroom, or something else. By the way. The shot of the back end didn't show up for me.

Ralph:

I use a Nikon equipment exclusively. I have many lenses to choose from and many accessories. Shot the images with a Nikon DSLR D3200 24.2MP..DX format. The images are then converted to a "portrait image" using software made by JixiPix software. Once the images are processed from the 24.2 MP they end up at about 12MB in jpeg format.

I eliminated the image of the rear end of the Jaguar XKR, but have posted it here for you to see.

Stuart S didn't like the power lines in the photo so I pulled it from post #1. These images are great for a canvas or linen enlargement.

The original images in post #1 are reduced in size for the Jaguar forum to accept the images.

I have eliminated most of my lenses now and use just two AS Nikkor 18-300mm 3.5-5.6 zoom and a Tamron super wide angle 10-24mm 3.5-4.5 zoom. Just starting to get into post processing. There is a great photographer's forum called ugly hedgehog, here is a link: Ugly Hedgehog - Photography Forum. Sorry, but you will have to cut and paste it to use it. Regards,

Thanks Ralph.....I too use a few Nikkor DX zoom lenses. I also have a few fixed focal length lens, Nikon Speedlights and a host of other accessories. I have been into photography for about 40 years, and at one time managed a photographic department in a large retail chain. I certainly am a fan of the new digital world.

Here's a few shots I did recently in a photoshoot of my 2015 Corvette C7, just a month ago. Click the image to enlarge.

Rich - Great shots. Your selection of background really adds to the pictures. Ralph

I live at the boundary of the Organ Mountain Desert Peaks National Monument. During the winter months, we are blessed to have some snowfall on our mountains.

What you see in the background of the Corvette is essentially our view from our backyard. The peaks reach almost 8,990 ft.
