Creativity and quality are top notch. The truck itself is not, wheels either

That's one hell of a painter there.

I'm not much a fan of the truck though, or how the paint job looks on it, but it is a very good paint job. Lots and lots of fine detail.

Also, thats a very cool place for taking photos.

thats one of the most customized colorado's i have seen looks like top quality work, i think it wheels need to go up in size to fill the wheel wells awesome pictures as usual, do you know how long that paint job took?

Money can't buy taste.

I grew up in body shops.
You wouldn't believe how much it costs to get a nice paint job done. $8000 is a decent deal for that quality of work.,



Having a good photographer helps too.
Great pictures as always Mair :biggthump

i really like the black shading streaks. looks nice. as for on a vechicle, dont care for. but as for the drawing work i really love this guy work.

Quality is extremely top notch!!! Too bad it's not great looking.

The result is not my style, but it is easy to appreciate the many, many hours of skill and craft to get that result.

no it cant and the driver of this truck with its 8k paint job is probably on Medicaid and food stamps.

nah actually hes in the navy defending his country

wtf... i dont see any pics...
??

nice pics as always.

im sure the painter has painted some truly nice looking cars.

this is not one of them. haha.

but i shouldnt hate, because i think that paintjob/rims/truck actually match each other quite nicely. and by nicely i mean i think it goes together but its not something i would EVER drive.

props for following his dreams though.

each to their own, as long as the guy driving it is happy thats all that matter imo

thanks for the comments though guys

Pwnage! Nice pics as usual.

not lovin the paint job or rims, but great pics as always. i would love to drive one of those murdered the fock out.

not my cup of tea

love paint, not truck ... love the color scheme

Good for him, hope he likes it.

To me, would have been much happier with a solid color. But meh its okay i guess.

That looks like ass

I can appreciate the work done, but really? A Colorado? Sheesh

nasty

Friggin' Awsome paint job.
Sadly its on that type of truck but 'eh whateva right.. the guy is happy and wanted it. Does he have airbags or did he just lower it?

Thats hot man. Chevy all the way..well besides Mazda of course...but truck wise Chevy :P

I hate to say this but I think it would look better slammed. Anythings better then horrendous wheelgap.

Pics are incredibly clear Anthony! Great work...

i'm a fan of the paint job! pictures/editing are meh... makes the truck look like a toy

you could do that same look with a full wrap for 5k and it would last for 10 years. plus you could do it in sections and if it were damaged just print a new section.

And he drove all the way from Florida for some professional pics taken by Anthony!!

you can do better? so far your pics are all under exposed and your editing leaves a lot to be desired, you have a lot to learn still clearly. I kept my mouth shut last time when you posted your pics that you took after bashing more of my pics cus im a firm believer of if you have nothing positive to say keep your mouth shut. But when you show me pics that i can look up to and get inspiration off come back to me.

So go keep practicing

so wait, with that kind of editing, you fully expect everyone to share the same likes as you? Post that stuff on POTN and they will laugh at you...

Since you can't take an opinion posted on a public forum?

Pictures look fantastic A.Mair. Paint job looks great, but not my style.

Excellent work! I'm glad that there are people around that are still talented enough to do something like this.

take a look you fool lol

http://photography-on-the.net/forum/...d.php?t=627265

read 3 pages of positive remarks, now post your pics there and see who laughs at who

*Grabs Popcorn*

usually i dont bite but this guy is a arrogant. He should check a few of my threads on POTN.

whooosahh

whooosahh

*shakes out hands*

relax guys, go smoke a bowl

^Well, I read what everyone said on POTN and they all liked your pics. Even the 1 or 2 guys that did not like all of them said why, and gave you some advice on what to change. Which is the purpous of opinions. When someone just says, I dont like it, it makes it look like a toy...Well if they are also interested in photography than they should give you imput on what to do to change it. Which alex did not do. Reguardless, I think your pictures are flawless.

thanks top gear, i am by no means a perfect photographer, but when criticism is involved it needs to be a bit more constructive than 'the pics are meh'
what the hell is meh anyway

although i don't think i'd ever be able to pull off a paint job like that, i think these pictures really enhance what the car owner was going for. once again anthony, nice work! :)

meh = http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=meh

i heard it is now included in the dictionary :eyetwitch

omg rofl.

PWN3D!!

I've always liked photo.net better.

I had a lot of pj training in college, to be honest I find the tree limbs "growing" out of the truck to be very distracting. Overall good composition but it seems you forgot to check your backgrounds.

You've got a good kit going the 50 1.4, 100/2, and 17-40L are great lenses

i agree about the trees, i was going to try and clone them out, but just havent got round to it yet.

But i do agree

kersh4w ;)

someone paid 8k for that? why? did they sand it down to bare metal prior to painting it? did they do the jams and pull the engine and paint the firewall and everything else under the hood? What kind of paint did they use? 8k seems a bit steep for what I'm seeing in those pics, nice work on the photography though :)

notice how alexis hasnt said anything. haha.

aren't those trucks.... around $12,000?

+1

Admire the quality but.... dang!

for some reason the picture isn't showing up for me but nice job addressing alexisthemovie's comments. The link was epic.

...

Zoom, you could, but then you would be driving a sticker, and it'd still be the same truck. At least he's got some sweet paint now. :icon_no2:

So some of those were taken with a EF 17-40mm f/4L USM... *puts that on his list of lens's to get.*

Those photos seem to have a large dynamic range, but they aren't HDR are they? Just processed? I just got a Canon D450 so now I'm trying to figure out how people get great photos so I can shamelessly rip off their techniques with my own subjects.

i dont kno w how any one could down Amair picture taking skills. the guys isnt using some point and click camera. i dont know any thing about picture taking, but i can tell what ever style he uses, must takes alot of practice. i mean this pic here looks like it can be an cover of some high quality truck magazine. . the lighting and clarity is just perfect.
