Hoover Dam Cruise (no 56k) DON'T QUOTE PICS
Went to the Hoover Dam with some friends while we were all in Vegas. Had a friend drive my car for me after we got there. All shots taken hand-held at dusk. Here are the car pics I took (noise reduction & crappy Facebook compression killed the details, white balance is a little off in most of them):

Great pictures, and a great place to go for a drive!
And I'm sure I've said this before, but your Firebird has the perfect combination of body parts! Hardtop, T/A wing, Raptor hood, and Formula/base everything else FTW! When/if I get another Firebird that's how I want to make it look.

Thanks guys, much appreciated. I wanted to get a shot from the bridge of the cars driving across the dam, but we just didn't have time. It was sort of a last-minute photoshoot so I didn't have a lot of time to plan angles and gather equipment. I definitely want to do another shoot there.
BTW, I used a Canon Rebel T4i with the following lenses: 70-200 F2.8 L, 50 1.8 II, 18-135 IS STM
and with this particular batch of pics, I used only Photoshop CS6 for fast half-*** post work.

Thanks. They essentially match the real-world light levels at the time the pics were taken. All pics were taken hand-held with no supporting device like a monopod/tripod. If I try to brighten them in Photoshop you would see a ton of noise in addition to the ton of noise already present.

Gotcha, part of it might be my monitor, I know the screen on my laptop at home is usually a lot brighter than this work LCD.
Still some awesome shots though, I don't even mind the noise it seems to fit the tone of the pictures overall. Works well with the contrast to me.
