Photography Thread - Cars or anything else!

Ok, I know that I am no where near what yall are in terms on good photo skills, I still think these are good pictures.

This would have been a really really cool pic, but the boat was rocking and I could not line up the stitch picture to make this really cool.

Man, I envy you guys with those BEAUTIFUL macro shots. I wish I could learn as much about photography as I do with detailing... So, without a DSLR camera and fancy lens, I don't have any closeups or anything special, but here's one of the best pictures of my trip to California this summer: This is from Yosemite..

I don't know the first thing about photography, but I thought this was a cool picture. We were at my parents house enjoying a fire. My dad had his camera out, so I took this one as they went for a walk to the garage.

There are a ton of great pictures in this thread, but this one is a bit special IMO.

Being a Corvette nut, to me this speaks volumes about family (values, sharing) and heritage (auto history, father passing down knowledge to son / grandson).



Thanks for sharing. :2thumbs:
 
Just found this thread. Great pictures everyone! I have a few nice new backgrounds now (love those from Japan).



I don't have a fancy DSLR yet, but I'm hoping to get one soon. These are all from a simple Kodak P&S.

My own babe.

Not as cool as some of those huge funnels I've seen in the true midwest, but neat nonetheless.

Not my pic, but one of my favorite from my other passion.

And about 100 car pictures from road trips to car shows...
 
I just have a point and click Kodak Z612. It has the capability to go pretty much full manual, with adjustments for aperture, shutter speed, focus, etc., but it's not easy - lots of little buttons to push to get what you want. Still, I'm trying, and I think I'm getting better. Here are some from our latest trip (Niagara Falls):

Thanks Jim, I think it's a great shot too. It's funny because it just hit me to take the picture when I saw them walking to the garage, and I just had enough time to grab my dad's camera and take it. It came out great, though B&W can hide some sins.

I'm a sax player but moved onto the other side of the glass a couple years ago. I'm a recording engineer and live sound engineer working on starting up my own recording/production biz.

I have a couple nice shots of an SSL 4000 G+ console and a Digidesign Icon... some of the coolest and most expensive studios I've worked in.

Isn't it funny how divergent interests seem to go together sometimes? I sing professionally, and am also a trained recording engineer, although I've let the technology get ahead of me now. These days I work on the performing side of the glass whenever I get the chance, and it kills me how, even at the biggest studios, the Studers, SSLs and Neoteks sit idle while everything runs through ProTools. The convenience is certainly there (what - no more razor blades?), but I can't help thinking that something's been lost.



Somebody should figure out what shiny cars and studios have in common!

I think it has something to do with a obsessive personality for perfection. The same thing that lets me listen to a kick drum track for 15 minutes making minute adjustments or use the rotary multiple passes on a scratch... that 95% of the population probably wouldn't notice in the first place. :help: :grinno:



I am a certified ProTools operator and can get almost anything sounding commercially viable in the box, but I absolutely love and prefer to use the older analog stuff. Though, I've only used a Studer once and I am kinda intimidated by tape. I'm too much a child of the digital age.

Don't get me wrong - ProTools is clearly the state of the art right now - it makes sessions go soooo much faster! I just hate seeing a $500k console being used as a coffee table.



We'd make a great team. I'm sure we could both learn a lot from each other. Too bad you're 8 hours away or you might have a partner in your new business!



Sorry for the drift, guys. We now return you to your regularly scheduled photography thread.
