I'm not an auto photographer...

But I did shoot these for a story I'm doing. For the uninitiated, it's a 1970 DeTomaso Pantera...comments and critiques welcome. I plan on doing an online gallery that includes a special Mustang...

I love the Pantera!! I have not seen one in a looong time, and that one looks super clean!

[mdurisseau]

Indeed it is! It's the best example I've seen in many years...still solid, not a speck of rust.

Sweet Pantera! #4 is your best out of the batch, nice highlights on the side.

Maybe Mr. Martin will have some input, too...

As I recall, 1971 was the first model year.

That last photo just has to go. Sorry, but a port-o-let in the background?

Oh how I wanted a Pantera when i was a kid. Beautiful car!! Saw quite a few of them at Cars and Coffee here in Dallas this last weekend.

Critique:
1- get a polarizing filter if you're going to shoot cars. They work wonders on the reflections, especially the windsheild.

3- If at all possible never shoot an interior with the far side door open.

2- Not sure if you had control over the location? Trees growing out of the car etc, and as Bill said, Port Potty has to go. Not a very pleasing background. Like I said you may not have had control over that. Backgrounds to me are as important as the car itself. It adds another layer of emotion to the photo.

Other than the above listed items, great job on a beautiful car!!
