Default She's Baaaaack! (Out of Hibernation w/ Pics)

Rolled the rear fender lips Saturday, washed the car up Sunday, and threw the wheels on today. The wheels have been off for nearly 6 months and the car has been in hibernation for over 3 months. Wanted to try a few new things so I took some pictures downtown on the way to class this afternoon.

1 - Different location and composition than my normal style


2 - Different lens than I normally use, first time using the 50/1.8 for automotive use


3 - More of my typical style, but taken with the 50/1.8 on this one


It needs a full detail and the wheels need to be polished up as they're a little hazy, but I still wanted to get some shots as I was very excited to have it back on the road in full force after being down for the winter since late November. Seriously, I was school girl giddy. Been a long while since I've been this excited about the GTO.

The shots above are the three that I think came out decent. Here are a few more to share just for kicks.

4 - THUMBNAIL, Click for larger size, Different composition style than my normal style again


5 - THUMBNAIL, Click for larger size, Different location than my normal style again


6 - THUMBNAIL, Click for larger size, 3" of lipped goodness...than needs a good polish job after sitting in storage for nearly 6 months now

Great choices, Josh. Looks great. Makes me want to get out the detailing gear and take all the shop grime off mine.

Thanks guys.

It's a good feeling isn't it Andy? I don't have all the other badass cars you've got but there is something special about climbing back behind the wheel of a GTO after you haven't driven it in a while.

Awesome shots, Josh!

1st and 4th are my favorites! I wish the power lines had been cloned out in the 3rd one.. I really like that one too.

If the Nikon 50/1.8 is anything like the Canon, it's a damn good little lens!
