TVR Sagaris MKII

[DeanPhoto]

Here are a few shots from a 2 day shoot for TVR. They've now sacked everyone and split the company again, so the pics won't getting used. I have a few more from this shoot which I'll post add later on this week sometime.

I didn't have any choice in location (Bruntingthorpe) and the client wanted 'grungey' shots.....sigh. I also had to work around a film crew. It was still great having 3 Sagaris' and an empty airfield/racetrack to play on though

2,3,5,6 are the winners for me

love to know how you achieved 3?

Have to say, damn sexy car. Deadly though.

Really like numbers two and five but have to ask what the wierd reflection in the driver/pasenger window is in number one, is it the interior?

 

[whitey]

another fantastic set, your making a very good impression on here

 

[fil_b]

this is my fav TVR ever

love it to bits

love the shots

 

[gingerjon]

4 and 6 for me. 6 would be perfect if the car was facing the camera slightly rather than angling away but that's details.

Quality set. Always loved TVRs ever since I was a kid. The cars and the company are totally nuts though.

Nice pictures. I like shooting at Bruntingthorpe, there's plenty of interesting locations.

Stunning car Stunning shots

I love them all.... but #2 stands out for me, I really like the composition with the space.

 

[scooby00]

Great shots

Love that car .. there is one which drive around Notts that I see sometimes

Such a shame no-one can sort out the financial mess the company is in and start selling these cars again

put me down for #2 - just looks clean and simple.

it is clearly deliberate but #4 & 6 feel too cluttered to me.

was #2 actually taken in the dark? or is it pp'd? if it is a night shot what was your lighting setup?

also - whats going on in 5 - you use some kind of smoke machine? or is the silver sag in the background quietly converting it's dunlops into a gaseous state?

Only deadly in the wrong hands, you just have to treat them with care. Saying that, I did have a few moments whilst trying to get the rear out at speed for the video camera's.

Really like numbers two and five but have to ask what the wierd reflection in the driver/pasenger window is in number one, is it the interior?

The reflection, or what you see in the window, is caused by a circular polarizer. They have a strange 'rainbow' efffect on headlights also.

Really? I couldn't find any that I liked apart from the runway!

2 was taken at dusk, almost 0 ambient light. I can post the original if you like?

5 - haha, it does look like rather like tyresmoke doesn't it? Their just death clouds!

 

[chris_tim]

love them all well done. shame about tvr being so here and there with the russians or whoever it is now.

they made awsome cars!

 

[Kalph]

Hey I remember favouriting number 3 on flickr. What happened? Did you close your account and then come back or something?

 

[mr_pants]

An '08' reg??? Couldn't they find a new car??

Sorry, just joking. These are all great shots. The lighting you set up is superb.

 

[sypix]

Fantastic set of photos. Really like the motion shot #3.

 

[Rickyboy]

Great shots matey. #5 is absolutely brilliant! I feel that in #6 you lose out on the rear-wing as it almost blends into the tyres. All in all though very nice indeed.

 

[POAH]

like number 5 dean, less said about 3 the better lol

 

[antc]

Nice photos and damn sexy car!

 

[desantnik]

Well once again you've shown exactly how I wish I could shoot static cars....

Real top drawer stuff, but you do this for a living yes?

If you do, well, it shows! If you don't, have you thought about giving up the day job??

 

[Liberalis]

2 and 5 mate, dogs danglies

I think you'll find it's the toughened glass side window. The effect is brought out by polarising filters.

Superb images

Is that the engine of an Audi R8 I see in your avatar?

 

[V8burble]

I wish.... no, it's my A8. What a difference a letter makes
Although it's a bit more spacious and comfortable

OP and Mods, please remove if too off topic

 

[tank]

Great shots! im really impressed with 5! how did you light them?

 

[Rickyboy]

Yeah, sorry to the OP for going off topic - as soon as I'd clicked the "post quick reply" button I realised that I shouldn't have!

Blame Audi... their cars do funny things to me....

 

[Brains]

Lovely shots.

I always wanted to own a TVR. Probably never will though!

 

[MikeeB]

Cracking shots Dean. Loving the "grungey" look as you say
