Few pics of the C5Z Firecrotch

**ArcticZ06** · 08-28-2008, 03:29 AM

Update: Added a few new pics to the bottom of this page.

I need to get a better camera. The Sony Cybershot W55 just isnt cutting it anymore! lol All technique recommendations welcomed. (waits for TSS)

Had the car parked a few degrees off for this one. It needs to be more facing the camera for the lighting. Better luck next time I guess.

I wouldn't go out and buy a new camara...
Just try a diff. time of day (like right before the sun goes down, when theres still some light out)
BAD A$$ VETTE. FRC = sexy...

Biggest mistake amatures make is shooting night shots at night. Shoot them during sunset so you'll have ambient light left in the atmosphere and won't get such blown out lights and darks. It will make a world of difference on your pictures.

Examples:

Shot during sunset, sun had dipped into the horizon to the Right of the image and I was ontop of a huge cliff that over looked the city [making the sun actually lower] with a street lamp light directly behind/over head- providing ample lighting to give it that "night" effect:

This is a bad one, might have come out differently with a bright red car though and the street light. Sun set behind the trees and to the left a bit.

yeah i need to get some sunset pics in. The below pic is the best pic Ive ever gotten of my Trans Am. I think Im going to take my vette to the same spot at sunset. I love the color of the sunset reflecting up on the side of the car.

Got some new ones of the vette by the bunker where Frozen took his. I think we need to set up a date to get some group pics!!

I think these are the best pics Ive taken of the vette so far. I went to the spot where I took the above Trans Am pics but it started raining on me. Maybe tomorrow.

Looks good. That looks like the first bunker on the right as you go down the hill. I almost stopped at that one but the lighting was all wrong. I'm game for some bird and vette pics. I maybe able to get a ss camaro to come also. Hopefully we get some more sunny days. I've been working six days a week. So the birds been a nice day only car this summer. I think I've driven it about 13 times now, maybe 200 miles.

Give me a call if you want to get together sometime. I still work crazy 12 hour shifts and work every other weekend so as always it will probably be hard for all of us to figure out a time. My number is still the same.

Cool. I'm hoping for some sunny days soon. Man 12 hour days. Those are some long days.

They are Cray Scorpions made just for C5 vettes. I wasn't really into them at first but they are starting to grow on me.
