Hey, bite me...I like 'em! Besides, but for the fences, I'd have to photoshop out the cattle dung.

It's a jolly good fence as fences go!! :-)
But if I'd parked a car in front of them I'd have painted them green to blend in with the background :-) as you do. And maybe pruned that little tree on the right....
I can't help it, I'm an artist, nobody understands!!! ;-)

Naw, I was responding to your misunderstood artist comment, as in French [FTF] sunflower worshippers...

Jamo,
Very nice pictures of your Cobra. Was the first one taken around sunset or sunrise? Why did you use Texas largest trees for the second picture?

How about whilst on the move?
All it takes is the right shutter speed and a steady hand.
These shots were taken whilst strapped in to Stef's Cobra on a run over Christmas.
Even if the trees in your area aren't at their prettiest, you'll still get an interesting shot with all of the motion and blur. Besides, you may even get to see yourself in the article?
Regards.
Steve.

Nope sorry, trees don't work. They are home to feathered things that drop guano from a great height onto the sacred paintwork. This is a Bad Thing.
yeah got the 'starving artist' reference - not that far gone yet. All together now: "starry starry night..."

Theres plenty of places in Lincoln , Omaha,but park on the road outside Eagle raceway and take pictures of your car with the track in the background that would look cool .

Did you take a look at Curt Scott's information on

In six minutes you'll learn how to use your digital camera to capture knock-’em-dead, professional-quality photos of your car, your engine and your cockpit."

Trev...someday we'll just have to sing our way through a few drinking establishments found in narrow streets. Best way to make the background fade to black.

G'day Trevor.
Not quite early morning/evening, however it captures the car right on the crest as you'd described.
Hope this helps FUNFER2?

G'day mate
Yeah that's the kinda thing! It's the 'Keep It Simple, Stupid' (kiss) principle. But the cars I shot were a little more boring (I can now freely admit)
Jamo
So that's a date then. I shall be navigating my way around the back roads of Virginia on your fair continent in a mere week from now, so should you wish to toddle over for a cold one, you know where I am.... :-)

Ernie's beach is nicer, but this is closer to me. Hate the red curbs.
Taken at 6:45 in the morning. |

Very,......nice guys !
Steve- that's some frickin awesome pics ! That may be a great way.
rustyBob- I don't know if Eagle Raceway would be a good background or not ?
We race Saturday (if it don't RAIN...again) and see what it looks like.
What about Mahoney State Park, it's fairly close to me or, the Strategic Air and Space Museum ?
Tony- I looked at the information and I will try to do what he Say's !
Trevor- That's a mean and fantastic photo !
rokndad- Doesn't get better than that. (well maybe with a hot chick) lol
