Hey, bite me...I like 'em! Besides, but for the fences, I'd have to photoshop out the cattle dung. :p

Trevor Legate 04-23-2009 04:37 AM

It's a jolly good fence as fences go!! :-)

But if I'd parked a car in front of them I'd have painted them green to blend in with the background :-) as you do. And maybe pruned that little tree on the right....

I can't help it, I'm an artist, nobody understands!!! ;-)

Jamo 04-23-2009 04:40 AM

You still have both ears?

Trevor Legate 04-23-2009 04:53 AM

Did somebody speak?

Jamo 04-23-2009 04:54 AM

Then we got trees...

Naw, I was responding to your misunderstood artist comment, as in French [FTF] sunflower worshippers...

:)

Jamo,

Very nice pictures of your Cobra. Was the first one taken around sunset or sunrise? Why did you use Texas largest trees for the second picture? :LOL:

Ron :cool:

Jamo 04-23-2009 05:40 AM

Sunset.

Real trees...Sequoias...covered in snow.

FUNFER2 04-23-2009 06:27 AM

That's some great information and photo's guys. I hope I'm successful as you have been.

Excaliber 04-23-2009 06:51 AM

Here's one from my drive around the island yesterday, camera phone. Not a bad background...

How about whilst on the move?

All it takes is the right shutter speed and a steady hand.

These shots were taken whilst strapped in to Stef's Cobra on a run over Christmas.

Even if the trees in your area aren't at their prettiest, you'll still get an interesting shot with all of the motion and blur. Besides, you may even get to see yourself in the article?

Regards.

Steve.

Nope sorry, trees don't work. They are home to feathered things that drop guano from a great height onto the sacred paintwork. This is a Bad Thing.

yeah got the 'starving artist' reference - not that far gone yet. All together now: "starry starry night..."

rustyBob 04-23-2009 09:25 AM

Theres plenty of places in Lincoln , Omaha,but park on the road outside Eagle raceway and take pictures of your car with the track in the background that would look cool .

Tony Ripepi 04-23-2009 10:51 AM

Trev...someday we'll just have to sing our way through a few drinking establishments found in narrow streets. Best way to make the background fade to black. ;)

Cars, especially Cobras, only look their best in soft light and at dawn, the background sky changes from purple to a pale pink. Then the sun comes up and the magic is gone....

G'day Trevor.

Not quite early morning/evening, however it captures the car right on the crest as you'd described.

Hope this helps FUNFER2?

G'day mate

Yeah that's the kinda thing! It's the 'Keep It Simple, Stupid' (kiss) principle. But the cars I shot were a little more boring (I can now freely admit)

Jamo

So that's a date then. I shall be navigating my way around the back roads of Virginia on your fair continent in a mere week from now, so should you wish to toddle over for a cold one, you know where I am.... :-)

rokndad 04-24-2009 01:36 PM

Ernie's beach is nicer, but this is closer to me. Hate the red curbs.

Taken at 6:45 in the morning.

RodKnock 04-24-2009 02:07 PM

Tom, quit showing off.

FUNFER2 04-24-2009 02:11 PM

Very,......nice guys !

Steve- that's some frickin awesome pics ! That may be a great way.

rustyBob- I don't know if Eagle Raceway would be a good background or not ?
We race Saturday (if it don't RAIN...again) and see what it looks like.

What about Mahoney State Park, it's fairly close to me or, the Strategic Air and Space Museum ?

http://i43.tinypic.com/x59sbd.jpg

Tony- I looked at the information and I will try to do what he Say's !

Trevor- That's a mean and fantastic photo !

rokndad- Doesn't get better than that. (well maybe with a hot chick) lol
