My Blackberry Caddy

That’s saved you a big headache and bill for sure mate.
I hit a large object one morning on a dark motorway slip road. It destroyed my bumper

Yeah it’s not a nice feeling mate

It was brand new from eBay.

Sump guard doing its job, glad there was no damage. Are you gonna try repair the sump guard now and get them scratches out

[Barbel330]

No, no I am not

I was recently approached by a professional photographer who wanted to shoot my van for a company he’s commissioned to. I’ve wanted to get some pro shots done for a while so I was more than happy to go for it. I can’t show the actual photos until they’ve been used by the company but I took a few snaps with my phone while the van was on set as it were

I was strangely happy to hear a real photographer say how difficult blackberry was to capture as I’ve always thought that myself, photos (especially phone snaps) never quite do the complexity of the pearlescent colour justice, but I put it down to my lack of knowledge, ability and equipment.

Anyway, back to my iPhone snaps......

Great pics Stu. I didn’t know you had colour changing LED lights upfront.
Gives it a very devilish look

Yeah, had them in there for years since I had the custom lights built mate, I just don’t play about with the RGB features very often.

[the swan fiend]

Fair enough mate. They’re a great mod I have to say.
What will the pro shots be used for? Will it be a car magazine?

Not 100% sure yet mate but I imagine they’ll use them on their social media platforms. There was talk of a magazine feature but I don’t know if anything will come of that or not tbh. Either way, I’m just happy to get some proper photos of it done

[the swan fiend]

Ahh ok mate. I think it deserves a feature in a mag or two to be honest. It has to be one of the best vans out there. Looking forward to seeing the pro shots

Agree, definitely deserves a feature in a mag. That firs shot is just stunning!

[FishermansFriend]

Really nice Barbel, cant wait to see the ones from the photographer.

[Barbel330]

Cheers chaps

I’ll post the proper shots up when I can.

[Zeberdeecaddy]

That’s a proper nice caddy !!

It’s amazing the difference a professional photographer makes .

A mate is pro photographer & took some photos of my car while i did some work for him .

It almost looks like a different car if you compare my best phone pics to his pro pics .

Definitely deserves a magazine feature.
The colour is so different in changing lights/angles, it's intriguing to look at it as it moves ans the colour appears to change. Really catches the eye.
I've seen a lot of blackberry Caddys but something about the depth of gloss on yours amplifies the effect to put it on a different level.
