    Wow does this person drive a different car every day of the week??? eek7.gif
    That's quite a collection.

    I have no clue when it comes to car, I just like my old car to actually go when I turn the key rolleyes1.gif

    I like the car in image #6 second from the left the maroon coloured one.

    I also like your HDR on the last shot nod.gif

    Nice series of shots Z06Nut thumb.gif .... Skippy :D

    The "HDR" was actually one shot in raw. I tweaked it in raw, smart sharpening than I added the water color filter.

    Honestly, you almost lost me after the first five shots. Random bits of automobile corners, with the interesting details clipped off, and partially occluded by vegetation, what were you thinking? Really the only shot I like is the one where they're all lined up in front of the garage. Even though I realize you were most likely going for artistic effect, the varying tilts in the rest of them says to me that you don't know how to hold your camera straight. Of course, these are just my opinions and maybe I just don't get the genre.

    I like the last shot and the group shots. I'm another who would like to see more of each individual car. The bits and pieces at various tilts are a bit frustrating to scroll through.

    I agree with the above. The random shots at first seem more like you are shoving a huge lens into the trees on the end of a broom stick, and it just kinda worked out, 'razzi style, aside from the weird angles. However, I might just not get it.

    First line up is interesting, but one tends to look at any line up of such cars.

    The last one, now that is cool, but for me the other cars take away something. Wish there was a plainer background.

    Chevy is cool.

    What I'd also like to see is a less distracting background. The camaro has a lot of trees in the background.

    Yea I wish we could trailer all of them or better yet drive them to a nice location and shoot. It was a very small place to shoot all these cars.

    Which begs the question, how does he store them all?

    6 inside the garage and the rest on the driveway. He can fit about 6 to 7 cars on the driveway. He covers them up. He also has room curbside.

    He prob. doesn't ever have them all there since it always seems that at least a couple of them are in the shop getting some mod or maintenance done to them.
