Spyker C8 Spyder Supercharger Project

Very, very nice.

Alex Diaconou really knows how to make a good picture.

[OnTheLam]

Yes, it's true. However, each of the pictures I have posted here are my own. Alex and I did a photo shoot together on Saturday.

I assume you are looking at his pictures on Flickr or somewhere?

[SpykerOwner]

Indeed on Flickr. But if these pictures are yours, you don't need someone else to make them. You are good as well

[OnTheLam]

Thank you, Hans. I guess I've gotten good enough that I need to start watermarking my photos!

It is quite a compliment to have my work mistaken for AlexD's! He is a friend and has taught me everything I have learned about taking photographs of cars and editing them in Photoshop. His work can be found at http://www.flickr.com/photos/alexdphotography/.

I've also been following the work of Trey Ratcliff (Stuck In Customs HDR Photography) and have been using his tutorial on HDR photography to help learn the HDR technique.

My work can be seen at http://onthelam.smugmug.com.

Yes, some great photos you've got there OnTheLam! Btw, has the article about #083 with sc been printed yet?

[OnTheLam]

Not yet. Tom Ford is getting around to it. Last I checked, he indicated that there was no time pressure associated with the article in his mind, unlike those related to new car debuts and such.

He has now done an article about the car they filmed the day before, the Rizk DBR2 (October issue) and a brief column about the supercharged Audi R8 he filmed same day (November), so I am hopeful that the Spyker piece will turn up soon.

... and what is the the story about the "Porsche in pieces"? I am not sure I understand your joke... or, is it simply that I am too curious?:lol:

[IVR007]

Now, we see spy shots of more C8s down at VF Engineering . . .

Does anyone know which cars have been at VF as well?

[OnTheLam]

I was previously asked to be discrete. Perhaps I will be given leave to speak.

I'll ask.
