Ballroom Photoshooting with a F430 Challenge

[stmoritzer]

my 4444th post, time to share a JW exclusive photoshooting I was able to do last year, hope you guys like the location.

Inspired by RC45's garage-indepth, studio-inpedth, whatdoIknowwhere-inpedths ..... :hmm: :idea: why not a ***** Hotel ballroom :lol:


location: Suvretta House St.Moritz
date:08.2006
event: FCS (FerrariCLubSwitzerland) meeting
surprise guest at gala dinner: F430 Challenge

The F430 Challenge was hidden in the garage during the day, me sneaked in to take some pics
(it was a surprise for the participants of the rally :wink:)

This pic is awesome!! :shock:
Definitely POTM contender!! I love the way the light only shines on the horizontal planes of the car, making it look even meaner as in real live :D

[Schwalbe]

Very great photosession, I'm always impressed by your photographic originality. :D

[Dubai]

Need to use another lense now. :) Try to get the F2.8!
You will get different results, and you will be excited and refreshed with photography.

Nice Nice frontal F430 ;)
