Hey 2 Zero which one is yours?

 

[ovrkll]

Hey Rick,,,nice try on capturing the old essence,,,,,but that Volvo just doesn't match :?

 

[Rick Hunter]

Volvos are always OLD style though

 

[Z4 REX]

Sixspeed that is one cool car.

 

[2 Zero]

Hey 2 Zero which one is yours?

They are all mine!! I just let those guys borrow them at the track!!

The more I look at Rick Hunter's photo, the more I appreciate it. What makes Rick Hunter's picture even more special is that he took it while he was driving and without a DSLR.

That's one hell of a road trip too.. loving the Lambo at the back

Raod Trip - "A Road Trip must contain - a visit to another country, an overnight stay, at least 500 miles.
It's not what you drive, it's where you've driven it that counts!"

Thats funny. In Colorado I can drive over 500 miles in one direction and never leave the state. I guess we dont qulify for road trips in America.

 

[Road Trip]

Hey, it's just a bit of fun.

Most of my RT's are much more than 500 miles

Sixspeed: really nice and clean pic there

One piece of software you might enjoy to even clean up the image more is NeatImage (free!). It will clean up the grain based on the camera make/model/iso/quality and really provide smooth surfaces. Here is a quick example of your pic through neatimage without knowing which camera you used. Look at the floor and paintwork. You can finetune the effect to great extent, so this is not all you can do .

Cheers!

I can't really see much difference in the above pics (I have no photography skills) but that is a fantastic photo!

 

[Mr Whippy]

There's just something about going down old city streets with a modern car that stirs up the emotions.

Time to put this one into the Time Capsule ... or am I taking it out? :lol:

WOW, I really like this picture!

Any chance of one about 1920px wide, or as wide as possible, for my desktop image?

 

[Rick Hunter]

Buggers. Sorry mate... I had shrunk the pic down to competition size before editing. If you'd like I can re-blow up the pic to 1920px, but it might be a little grainy. But maybe that'll work since I was trying to achieve an antique look to the picture.
