Does anyone else find the Z not very photogenic?

zmanelite · 04-08-2016, 02:07 PM

I think it looks good in photos

I think they photograph just fine, but than again I absolutely love Z's.

stock body...not photogenic AT ALL.

It's a lot better looking than my last car ('07 wrx)...

@stick_shift has a valid point, often I pass by a window at work and just stare at her, then go to take a picture from the exact same angle and the depth, lighting, shadows--they're just not there. The car is hard to capture "on film," but there's no doubt it's much more in person--especially behind the wheel.

There are awesome shots on the forum, high contrast, over-saturated, sharp focus, no blow-outs, with excellent color palette and visually interesting. I tip my hat, those are not easy to get, and there are so many people here with talent.

Just took another look out the window at her, black sport touring roadster...I'm drooling. I put showroom LED lighting in the garage just because of the car--every morning before work and every evening when she's parked I reflect on how fortunate I am to be able to enjoy her.

It's a photogenic car, but it's even more better looking in person

I agree it looks way meaner in person. It's a beautiful car to photograph or otherwise, but I didn't prefer it over the 350z I had for a time. It wasn't until my first zdayz that it grew on me. Also seeing Lou Panda's red 370z on the poker run disappear like david blaine himself was driving . I was maybe 20-30 yards behind him on a long sweeping right turn when he got on it, at which point the trees blocked my view. The turn opened up into a significant straight, 300 yards at least; and he was nowhere to be found. Gone. I wanted a 370z after that.

I think it's pretty damn photogenic.

I'd have to agree that in stock form, it's not that appealing

C'mon, the OP is right......the pic here is just another of the many examples in this thread of how bad they suck.
