So after the show on sat I drove it to work on sunday, (then it rained like he'll and we where givin an announcement that there could be up to 2" hail and tornado warning, figures , I was not the only one to.drive the nice.cars in tho of just our guys there was me, an 09 mustang GT, 2010 challenger R/T cuda, and I don't remember what it was bug one other guy had a new???? On the way home it occured to me that the ponential for some reflection pics could be possible, so I took some pics, found a bog puddle and stopped by a local cemetary and got some nice shots and then I took a few more on our beautiful holiday.


Here they are somewhat in order


These first shots where on the back side of the local high school (where I graduated from)

Image

Image


Image


Image

Image



Soi tried to use this little puddle by the elemerty school. It tried a little.but =fail


Image



Image







While in route looking for.the next good pics I saw this opportunity


Image

Image


Now because of these pictures while I was in the route for this next to picture they followed me. He was pulling up as I was taking the picture he was looking at me really funny. So I go right over and ask how is it goin? He says not to bad what you up to? So I he'll him that I am not suprized to see him and that I saw him come around the corner and that I was out looking for some good/interesting places for some pictures on the way home from work, and I show him a couple of the reflection shots and give a short it has only been driveable for a couple days and his is a new hood. He really liked the pictures and just wanted to be sure as it was a little "odd" the way I was driving so slow and stopping here or there. I said I understand and didn't blame him, he says have fun take care and be safe and off he goes. On to some more pics.


This was the first pic I took in the cemetery, as I was driving in I happens to look at the name and reilized that it was a guy that my wife graduated with and that I had wooked with for some time, he was younger than me by about a year! And it was a sad thing and drove home how things can change in the blink of an eye no matter how old you are. I know he would have really liked the car so I grabbed the shot in his memory he was just 22 years old

Image


And some more


Image


Image


Image

Image

Image


Image




Image





Then a few more in the sunshine


Image




Image

Image


Image


Image


Image


Image


Image





I think that these are some of the best shots I have taken, and of one of the best lookin cars I have owned



And allthough I thought of kyle and planeboy's adventure it didnt turn out as badly

Why not I thought that several of those pics turned out great! Besides nobody minded, it was peaceful and quite, and I know several people that take residence there and the grass was nice and green.

I love that hood and the appearance of this car,. Has to be one of the best looking white GP's I've seen.

I will dare to second that cemetery pictures are a odd, but I think all pictures of cars with a cemetery are odd. I can understand your reasoning so I'll leave it at that :)

Looks good! Looking forward to more ;)

I like the ideas for photos, you have creative ideas (reflections in the water, cemetary pics, etc) but the cemetary pics seem kinda odd with the lighting and looks like you took pics on an overcast day (for reflection ones). Maybe try morning shots or sunset shots (if ya can, and if you haven't tried that in these pics lol). Best of luck, just giving you some advice. Photoshop has good image adjustment tools as well to really make colors pop.

I planned on doing the car of the month, how I noticed there where some missing.


And I know that the pics where not the highest quality or perfect conditions as it was just on a whim on the way home from work after a really big storm we had last sunday, with my phone none the less ( gotta love 8 mp droid x). I will take better pics, or have them taken with my moms 14 mp ( I think) sony???? ( about the equivalant to the cannon rebel). Hen I get the chance and better conditions.


I didn't think they where bad for some random pics. I was just happy to be able to drive it at all morless getsome decent pics ( about the only pics with the new hood and wheels aside from the build thread.. they will get better guys promise. After the hood gets painted I will burn her camera up getting good shots. ( hopfully soonish, with ic, tune and tint, to go with that fresh paint)

I know my usual place has one.and I may just have to vet out there and at least snag the parts even if I don't use them




Thanks again for the props guys. I am glad at how the car he turned out and I think I am as anxious as you guys are to see this thing painted

Most of the pics I take are in a cemetery because my property borders one and the setting is beautiful. And I like all the pics that have been DELETED!!!
