    Default The last of the pics before I start body and paint work...

    I was off yesterday for a doctors appt. and found out I'm going to have to have surgery again. I'm gonna try to put it off till the end of summer so I can get the paint and body work done on the 85. Anyways, I was sitting at home yesterday evening and the sun setting outside caught my eye and I thought, "this looks like some nice lighting for a photo shoot" So I drove to this old factory nearby I'd been wanting to take some pics at and are the results......Keeping in mind this is using an old point and shoot Canon Powershot. REALLY makes me wish for a DSLR camera. All editing done in Lightroom 3.3 The first 6 I just did basic stuff with, the last four I turned them way up. Anyways enjoy!

    Sucks about the surgery, I hope you are ok. You take pics like a pro...great job. Car is awesome btw, I love the stance and the wheels. She's gonna be mint once you finish the paint and bodywork. I am bias towards white 85/86's, and yours is no exception. Hope you feel better and I can't wait to see the car after your done with her.
    Cheers!

    No where near a pro lol. As stupid as it sounds I just kinda picture it as what it would look like as wall paper on my computer, and then move around to get the shot I like. With a good editing program you can get a lot better results. I'm fortunate enough to have learned Adobe Lightroom through work and it comes in handy. I'm sure there's still tons I don't know how to do with it even now. I probably took 50 or so shots with different angles and high, low, ect. and I wound up with essentially 6 I was happy with. Thanks for the compliments none the less, just goes to show you can make any old POS car look good.
