Viper, what is your schedule like this week. Do you think we could set up a time before or after work to hit up some photo spots. Today would be a great time to hit that fog section of Twin Peaks up. With all the moisture in the air, we may get a little wet heading up there, but if ewe take some towels, it could be some interesting shots.

I like the Idea of having a few pictures per person. kinda like the sigs we all have. one main pic, and then a few little ones around it. :)


I would like to get a good pic as my main one with the new wing before production. that was at leas it is up to date..... and it looks better!

for mine at least I would like a new pic for the main, for the small pics, one of the stereo, one of the new interior, one of under the hood, maybe one of the wheels/rotors......... you know what i mean. :rock:

I would like to put my 2cents in. Kwescott I liked the one of your car by the tree. With the month that you are in and the fact it really shows your car off.

I like snows with the sun set pic's because they are differnt from others and I think they go with your month. I like both sun sets so thats as much as I could help out with.

I think Vipers need to be Orange because thats Viper. ok thats my 2cents for now.

KC You mean something like this? I made this, I madethis one before I got my 8. For those of you with a few mods or a few good pictures this would be a great idea.

Zoo you are welcome to use that picture because I will not be but you should keep your eye open for any spots avaible in the area and I am sure that are a few. You will find that you start to driveing around with your camera in the car.

Speaking of photo-ops not too mention the refinery in Fontana but there is also the refinery south side of the 10 that has flames coming out :Eyecrazy:

I will go through my pics this week and post what have not already been posted.

I do like the looks of the B/W main with colored accent pics. I like the one you did of the three cars and the one you did of speeds. Let me find those and I'll post them. This will give us some discussion over what we want to do. I think this is classy...and even better because it will be our cars. I think the sigs I made are too busy...too much going on. Sometimes, more is not better.

Wouldn't you all agree that the first three look cool, but the siggy is just too much?

Here is my pic of zootender's

May Final Submission?
 

What do you think about something like this for March?

June alternative/reversed Black and White
 

This was done in about 5 minutes and is meant for discussion purposes. Same goes for the one I did with Speeds pics.

The first and second pics here are different...which do you think looks better? What about the third, with the jagged edges?

looking good i would keep in mind pictures with a lot of color, maybe should not be desaturated (B&W) and have the one that are less vibrate be the black and white ones. For example the fog is very gray already but the night tree had so much orange and the speedway had many colors. I would also try making the images a little small so that the ratios do not compete as much. We could also choose a universal font (mazdaspeed style or mazda rx-8 style) so we could name the owners car. but i am definitly liking it.

ANY BODY KNOw WHAT FONT THOSE ARE?

Loren, you know of any cool night locations within 10 minutes of us? Those refineries, where are they? Good for night shots?

I added a "reversed" combo...with the main picture Black and White, with the smalls in color. I don't know how to mask out my car though. I would love to do what you did with Speeds....make the background B/W, and leave my car in full color. I know it doesn't seem like it would make a difference since I have a black car, but it does. It is just so much more brilliant in color.

I think the refineries with the flames is off of Pepper and the other one is just down the street from the Mills. I don't know the area that well but I was talking to Erica about it, we also have the Mills parking structure/the Edwards theater drop-off zone, (late at night with out all the people) and there is also cement mountain with the flag lit up in the background in Colton.

Over by KC if you take the last right before S&W plastics there is a cool gravel birm you can park on top of that would look greally good. There is also the big rocks by the shell station more north west on the 15 similar to Jashua Tree, thats about all I can think of right now.

What do you think about the inverse of your picture, I like it much better, you might even consider swapping the fog for the dead tree, just playar aound with it till you get one you like. To do the color Black& white stuff you need photoshop or you would need to edit two seperate pictrues and then marry them back together.

Not feeling the jagged edges at first but after I saw the whole image against the background of the rocks it does look good. The questions is can everyone do something like that and if not do we want the months varied like that. I guess we have to settle on some type of overall master format of which we can vary some yet following the rules (format).
