I have a few pics I'm thinking of right now. I'm sure I'll take more before I decide finals, but I'd like some feedback on what I have.
Tell what you think whether you love/hate.
I'm planning on some night shots of my Beretta, trying to get something that looks cool with a blacked out car at night, and some more traditional good weather dusk pics, especially now since my parking lights work. The first two are with no reflectors, etc, but they give the basic idea.

dfinately get a polarizer.
clean the "44" off of the windshield.
remove the liscense plate from the dash in #3.
otherwise it looks pretty good.

Where can I get a polarizer? My camera is a (too) simple point and shoot pretty much with no lens options.

any reputable camera shop should have one. You could just get one and hold it over the lens.

Number 1 looks the best.

Beautiful cars. Nice shots...
For #1 if you got more of the road in the shot it'd be a bit better.
#3 needs to be rotated about 3 degrees CCW too.
A circular polarizer cuts glare and reflections, which would help that shot for sure.
Good shots for sure!
There's some really great info on this forum (http://forums.dieselstation.com/index.php?showforum=11) , and the advice Johnny gave was spot on as well.

Looks good - I think in those darker shots it would be cool to catch the sun just going down - or coming up - and use those homemade reflectors they mention in PHR so you could get some more reflected light on to the car to highlight it.

i stopped by a local camera shop this weekend and they have a universal digital point and shoot filter adapter. it was @ $20. it was at CLICK Camera if that helps any.

what is that desert camo?
I just moved and can't find my issue either :(
I guess I can keep looking or beg and plead someone. I remember send high res jpgs on a cd, and a couple prints to PHR, and the name of the photographer, and the owner of the car. I don't recall the limit, how many prints versus .jpgs, or the address to send it to.
thinking about this one http://www.turboninjas.com/gallery/d/15904-1/CRW_4938-2.jpg or maybe this one http://www.turboninjas.com/gallery/d/15808-1/good.jpg or or... this one http://www.turboninjas.com/gallery/d/15909-1/siderearreflect.jpg

Dennis, nice shot by the way..
haha, Lew, the owner of the car, was nice enough send me the info. I just moved... it's not my fault :) ...woody, I'll PM ya the info man.
I'm re-processing the images, since what I posted was a kinda hurried job. Thanks for the good words though. Steve, I'm e-mailing you about something... so check it when you get a minute.
Choosing is frustrating....

Hey Matt,
I see that you are from ABQ, do you have any good locations to
shoot in the area? I've been up on the mesa and cant find anything good.
