so, i was sitting at work, and the clouds were all colorful.

do you think this one is better for a main picture?

Keith and I met up with Jesse today for a photo shoot in the Orange fields. Viper, Keith wants to know which of these pics you like, which one's you would like as your center pic. We'll need to shoot it over to Loren so he can make them black and white.

I'm really happy with how some of the action shots turned out. I think they may be worthy of posting as thumbnails....what do you think?

SnowFl8k

We had more than 80 pics to sort through from the photoshoot...we tried to post at least one from each group of shots (based on angles and lighting).

Here's some of the best. I'm rather disapointed by the quality of a lot fo them...little parts always seem blurry. I think this is what happens when you don't have appropriate lighting, or backlighting. There may be a keeper in the bunch..especially the engine shots. I could also try cropping one of the shots if you really like one of them. Just let me know.

kwescott

any of those from the first set you liked?

kwescott

how'd your pics turn out....?

kwescott

some of snow and some of me, finally, driving

kwescott

some more....

kwescott

I think I will use that interior shot from the previous set..what do you think?

kwescott

My opinion...now I'm giving back some of those .02 cents I've been accumulating...I think it is too dark, and not in focus. I'm starting to realize how hard night, sunset/sunrise shots are. Not only do you need a steady hand, but you need some supplementary lighting.

pictures are looking good, i think since some of us want night shots as the main pic then the thumbs should be day shots and vice versa. It makes them stand out more.

kwescott

I agree...but I think it should ultimately be up to the owner to make the ultimate decision.

So here's what I gather.

(1) We are good with the B/W main pic (with colored car).
(2) We like the idea of outlining the thumbnail pics. (but since I haven't yet done one in body color yet as Cesar suggested, we still need to wait for the vote on that one).
(3) Most are in agreement that mods or pics are good for thumbnails. (up to owner to indicate pics they like, the order, or to provide their own pics).
(4) Everyone wants their screenname...and I haven't heard anything negative about my two color idea.

My job, to post a couple more versions for a few to review.

Your job...start looking through the pics...and some of the "final" versions I've posted...not just for you, but for the others. I need suggestions peoples. We are quickly approaching Saturday...the date when I wanted things to be pretty close to being final.

We still have two months open. Someone please call Spiceboy.....who is the other month. Scotty? Toca....haven't heard any other interest.

I couldn't have done a shoot tonight anyway, but hopefully tomorrow I can. I only have about a thousand things on my list to get done first. And of course I've been to the ranch and its rained and I got to buy horse feed tomorrow, so hopefully I have time to get the car washed again first. Heck, maybe I'll just put all the animals around it and take pictures with all of them in front of the hay stacks with the car all dusty. OK maybe not. Although, I do think it'd be awesome to have a picture of my clean horse and cean car together.

kwescott

A picture at your equestrian center wouldn't be bad. I'm sure there are other horse people in the bunch. Hay looks really cool in black and white. Take some pictures while your down there. We can help you figure out how to get them loaded so we can see them...or we can give you an email or two to send them to. The calendar is about us and our cars, not just our cars. And if your car is always carrying hay, then maybe it should be photo'd that way.

kwescott

I also outline the pics in body color, though it is hard to tell with dark grey...I'll do one of Cesar's and post it here when I'm done adding the yellow squares.

Here's one with Jedi's requested center pic, and his outline in red...think it looks funny in read....should be black.

Here's his in black, with thumbs on the bottom..screen name at the top...thumbs are a little smaller as well.

kwescott

speedemon...no need to go back up to the old gas station...it is no longer there. When ERica and I went up to meet Cesar this morning I noticed that it has been leveled and is no longer there ...oh well.

Zoo I have a few but they are definilty not picture worthy, needs better backdrop but i am sure you could work something out maybe at your barn or at the feed store.,just snap a way after all thats what a digital camera is for.

I think you are on the right track keith. People speak up for the last few spots!

I like the yellow on the thumbs keith but you need to improve on your photoshop skills so that everything is equil and lined up. do you need photoshop i can guide you through simple steps on aim.

kwescott

lesper..aim?

got a pic for Jedi that he wants done in Bw

and I assume that we will get some more requests once Jesse and Cesar check the pics just posted.

ZooTender

Just trying something. I haven't been able to figure out how to get pictures off the pc onto the site. Ok I don't work much with computers. Anyway, if it shows correctly, this is my other horsepowered ride.

OK here are the choices of our favorites but viper you are the final vote. i messed around some on these....by the way i am removing any flawe in the pictures like concrete caps or car dents and even dates stamps so if you want a some new rims just holler.
