good place to take car pics?

Does anyone have a good place in ba or tulsa to take some good pictures of the car? i havnt had a chance to take some pics of the car with the new parts recentlly added. So really wanting to when the sun is out sometime

i agree we need to find a place

usually you can just go behind a warehouse. They're everywhere, easy to find, and they offer a decent background. Nothing spectacular, but you can get a nice, uncluttered background, and there are always ramps where you can park your car at cool angles, or stand on things to get above or below your car for cool shots. Like I said, they're nothing spectacular, but at least you get a nice clean background pic. Here are a few examples of shots at a loading dock, or a plain brick wall.

That Pic with the KB in your hood is bad ass!

Thanks! I have a few more too, where I did the "see through" thing.

What editing program do you use?

I just bought a Mac notebook, and I had some software pre-installed. I mostly use a program called "Aperture 2". I use that for most everything. To make HDRs, I use "Photomatix", and very very occasionally (to do the see through hood thing) I need something similar to Photoshop, but there is a free program out there, based on photoshop, called "Gimp". It has all the tools of photoshop, but its free.

I like the see-through door pic - that is nice!

yeah parking garages are cool i think...btw great pics man

i like them all except for the ones with the parking lot lines on the ground. imo kind of messes up the shot.

really like the one with the reflection on the ground and the see through hood

Hey Matt. Looks cool. What Camera are using?

Man, I love that first pic!!

Thanks for the compliments guys! My camera is a Canon Rebel XT. Its about the cheapest most basic SLR you can get. I picked it up on ebay for a very very reasonable price, which was less than most every point and shoot you can buy, and it takes great pics.

The Rebels are nice. Almost bought one but wanted something a little smaller and one that could shoot video as well. I have a Cannon G9 and love it. Basically a hybrid (Point and Shoot/SLR) Pretty compact like a point and shoot but, full SLR capability.

Yeah, those cameras are great for someone who wants to be a little more creative than what most point and shoots offer. The limitation there becomes the lens, where you can't swap it out for another. Thats what I like about my SLR, there are hundreds of lenses out there to upgrade to, without upgrading the camera frame.

Yep... that's the only down side. You can attach filters, telephoto and macro lenses/filters. But that's about it.

We travel a bit so I sacrificed the lens swap for size.

anyone work for a camera repair place? I have an older Canon that I would like to get fixed so I can take some pics.

paul u wanted a small size

i guess the small size is ok with your wife too?

Hey Bob i can paint some better lines and we can take some pics with them and show offo our cars and my paint of lines...lol
