Smile Finally got some good pics after washing and waxing the Z28

This morning I washed and waxed the car for the first time in a while, then shined it up with some Mother's Showtime stuff. I wanted to get some good pics as I've tried and failed in the past, but I finally realized that one of the biggest things involved is the position of the sun and clouds in the sky on a nice day. I don't have a high quality camera or anything, but I'd say for a Powershot SD200 and about 20 minutes I did alright.

I didn't mess with the pics in any software, either, just snapped them and loaded them straight up to Photobucket.

Thanks. Yeah, that's what I was going for. It's hard to make a Pewter car look shiny, so that was the best way I found to do it. I really wanted to be able to see the bumps on the hood over the headlights because if you don't get an angle that shows those off, the car looks very plain.
