Default Houston Cruise - 60+ Pics

i was trying to get my camera dialed in on some of the early rolling shots so they came out a bit haggard.

the first shot of the EVO i shot through my very lightly tinted window so it came out ok. then i rolled my window down and i wasn't at the right exposure. finally, after driving with my knee and messing with my camera settings i was able to dial it in pretty good.

rolling shots would have come out a bit better but we were stuck on a 2 lane road.

oh well, hope ya'll enjoy them anyways

p.s.
most of the rolling shots were taken at 1/40th of a second @ F24ish

i changed it a few times due to some cars being lighter, some cars being darker, my window rolled up or my window rolled down. i was a busy "knee driving camera man" yesterday afternoon, HHAHA !!!

dude, the dog in your avatar is sick.

i'm using a Nikon D300 with the 18-200MM VR lens. the first few shots were taken with the 50MM 1.8 but switched it out when we got on the road.

p.s.
sorry my friend, those are the only pictures i got.

the white GT was supercharged

the silver GT was procharged

the CETA was procharged and should be making close to 600rwhp

the black ytruck was procharged and was making 600rwhp. runs 11.0's at the track. later that evening he pulled a stock 07 C6 Z06 from about a 50 roll.

i really liked the 3rd gen also. he should drop it about 1.5". it would look great.

Damn fine pics, I really like the driving shots especially the ones of that CETA. That pic in somebody's sunglasses is a nice one too. Only wish there were more pics of that white ws6.
