There will be more pics thursday cuz thats my day off. I'm going to try and add a poll (never done it before) but help me pick a pic to use for the painting!

These were taken with a minolta dimage Z1. its an older camera my sis gave to me. If anyone wants to help me out and clean these up in photoshop please do! my girlfriend is going to need the pic by the end of next week and i will be taking more pics thrusday

 

I like number 1 and 8... how good of an artist is she??... those two seemed to easiest with some nice little detail....

 

I like 15.

 

I like picture 5. There is a lot of detail to paint and a lot of different textures to get. If it could be lightened up a bit in the painting, I think it would turn out excellent!

 

She is really good. She did a LARGE painting last year and it was amazing. It was just a free hand of a human. and she did a self portrait of her self also looked amazing

poll is up. Please vote with the poll. Also i don't mind if you state what numbers you like in the post but make sure to use the poll please

bump!!!!

 

I say, they all look good!

 

I personally like number 7. I set it as my background on my computer lol

 

i like them. but it seems you always straighten your wheels when you go to take the pics, try pointing the wheels toward you or away from you.

 

Hey thanks man! I just took about a half an hour driving around lookin for places and snapped some quick shots. I will be doing more thrusday seeing how thats my day off i will have more time to look and take some shots. I was very pleased with all these pics. I have never done any pics with backgrounds i just wish i had a better camera. I just looked and this one is only a 3.2 mp lol

Eh, its a habbit. I never mean to thats just how i park lol. Ive never really done actual photos before like this. So i'm really new to taking good pics and the stance and stuff. The reason i use the drivers side tho is cuz there is a nice dent and scratch from some ******* at subway on the passanger door lol

Bump

 

nice pics

 

7 if she is a good artist or 3 if she is not so expirienced

 

Bump!

 

definitely #11 ...all brick wall and grass, no random sky & stuff peeking from the sides or top...just a well framed pic

#8 is a close second, but too profiley for me

 

Looks like a nice day out but high noon creates to much harshness for photography. Morning light or twilight is best. The pics are good but go back to those spots in the evening with the sun behind you using fill flash and WOW us.;-)

 

Sweet car man and they are all awesome pics, i choose 11. Also where did you get those tails, or are they VHT nightshaded?

 

i like 11

 

Tails are nightshaded. Thanks for the input everyone. Ya I took these around 10ish I didn't really know I was going to find some places and like I said im new to takin photos so I had no idea what to expect. But I think they all look pretty sweet

 

Get a picture with her on teh car and ask her to paint that for you to hang on your wall

 

Its for her class at school. So that's a no. And lets not turn this into a stupid thread. I really want people help and suggestions

Bump for night crew

 

That is the best idea i have heard on this forum in awhile. i might get my girl to do that hahah Also how many coats of nightshade and clear did you use, they are very shiny which i want that look also

 

Believe me or not that's up to you. But 2 yes 2 coats of nightshade and about 4 or 5 of clear. They were heavy coats of the nightshade lol.

Wellp im off for bed. Gotta hour drive to work in the am so I need some sleep. Givin it a final night bump. BUUUUUUUUMP lol

 

Bump for a new day

Bump

 

Ok bro lets start off by sayin it looks like youre tryin too hard all of your pics are too much of the profile look you need to get some good angle shots in there go somewhere where you might think is a good lookin place like the train on..i believe it was 15 that was the best IMO and drive up to it yank the e-brake slide it into the hole and leave it how it sits dont straighten the wheels dont try to put it in a certain way just let it sit and snap a few shots...thats how i did most of my saylorville pics and i thought they turned out pretty good.

Good luck with that and i wanna see this when Rach is done with it

 

5,7,8. Good pics man. The way you were sounding the other day, made it seem like you guys have no good spots. But turned out well. Im glad.

 

Lol ya I just ran across these when I was driving around. Haha. Im goin back out tomorrow and gettin some sunrise pics and sunset tomorrow night. And mike that's the stance I want to use for the painting. I like the look of the car best how I have it.

















Didn't use the same camera as the pics on first page. I think these pics kinda look bad
