Beautiful photography. Nicely done.

Was the sun really up high enough to reflect off the car at 4am?

No sun, very dim lamps, I used a long exposure (20-30 seconds) while laying on mah belly on the cold brick road. The place was almost pitch black and had to keep looking behind me for bums!

last pic looks the best. The trees and the sky look awesome. Looks almost like one of those pics during a lightning storm and everything is lit up.

Thank you all. Hard to believe its pretty much dark there. The lamps and spot lights weren't that bright. Long exposure does wonders.

Nice job! Cool pics! The only thing that annoyed me about the second one were the two blades of grass sticking up. Kind of draws your eye to them at first glance.

Actually I thought that was a deliberate effect. Rather artistic - the sort of thing that helps you break into the top-ten in photo contests.

Very nice! Your descriiption kind of reminds me of the shots I've taken at the local "Graffiti Walls". It's a really downtrodden commercial building with amazing graffiti all over it, but of course is squarely in the middle of the ghetto. While I've seen nothing but friendly people there, you just never know... ;) Awesome work!

Tenoch...is that in Ybor City? I live north of Tampa off 54, Sunlight silver limo black windows, no mods yet just go her last Sunday, even though I am pretty sure I will just do an exhaust so I can hear more of that engine. ( yeah right like I wil be able to stop there) we should hook up sometime TENOCH

Thanks. I took sum graffitti shots in Brooklyn with B/W SLR two months ago. Also toolk some shots of industrial buildings near the bridge at dusk. I didn't have the 8 there but it gave me inspiration for this stuff.

Haha...I want to get beefier exhaust to hear my engine during auto-x. I hate looking down or waiting for the beeeep. The place is northwest of Ybor by the new TPD station (just behind it to the west). I didn't really feel safe even with TPD close by lol. Next time I am not going alone.

I'm down for hooking up. I run with an RX-7 group in Tampa but everyone is welcome. I have met Mantis (green RX-8) who is also from the area and posts in this forum. I noticed lots of 8 drivers in TB who are in this forum. We meet at Sonics on Hillsborough Ave. just west of Dale Mabry if you are interested. PM me and I will give you my number.
