Default new pics of the bird...

I was in the mood for taking pictures earlier today so I decided to go out and snap a few. These are the ones so far that I've edited. I've got a few more I might throw up later tomorrow or something. Car is absolutely filthy. Maybe I'll clean it this weekend and get some better shots.

I've been in a kinda artsy mood lately, been getting back into art/drawing/what not so no making fun of the shots with me in it...preciate it fellas.

Without further adieu:

The last two color pictures the white balance is way off. Very blueish. You may have been going for it, but it's a bit too overpowering. Cutting it back at least half with just a slight blue tint would be more effective. The black and white shots look good. On the close up of the gauges just make sure to take your keys out of the ignition and the overhead interior shot get the stuff out of your passenger's seat so they're not distracting.

Otherwise, the car looks and the pictures are looking good.

Keys were there for a reason if you pay attention (look at the gauges)... You should edit to say crop/photoshop them out if they bug you that much.

Preciate the compliments.

Josh, it was a fairly quick shoot, in and then out and aside from the fact I spent like maybe 5 minutes on all the pics editing, I definitely noticed the white balance on a few of the pictures. I was going to put up more but just wasn't satisfied with the clarity and focus of the others. Not to mention it really showed how dirty the car was. Ha.

Fortunately enough I was somewhat impressed on how it photographed. As you know from your white TA, white is so tough to capture any form of reflection or good picture. BTW. Hate you got rid of that car. It was gorgeous...lol

AC has been removed from the car only the heat works and heat is always nice on the floor...lol. Also the side vents still work though...

Very cool pics. I like the area you live in, I've always loved something about the 97 and below trans ams. If they had the LS1 I would have went with one instead of my current 2000

It's a Firebird/Formula actually. Born a Firebird, turned into a Formula because I put the motor in it. I think I've decided though that either a S/C or H/C LS1 will be next on the list. Next summer/winter though. For now I'm going to enjoy it and continue debating on what's next
