... and pics of my car . It only took 9 months!
Todd, if you want high res pics for your website let me know, I have lots of 'em. They're 3456x2304 and 2.4MB.
I'll get some before and after shots up when the new springs/shocks are installed. _________________ -Joel

That last pic is really cool.
Send me whatever pics you have. I love collecting car pics.
Car pics at dusk are the best. Just some tips for people to get the best looks out of your car in a picture:
1) Take them at dusk when there is still light but the sun is near or below the horizon. Dawn is also good before the sunlight starts to saturate the picture. Over cast days are great.
2) In darker cars, the reflection is more important than the car. See the reflection instead of the car as the object.
3) Fill the frame with the object. You can never really get too close to the car.
4) Vary the image vertically as well as horizontally. Side and front shots are boring, especially when they are from eye-height.
Here's a thread that gives some good insight and examples:

I should have done before and after pics of mom's car. Get rid of that SUV ride height. Eric, I want to see pics of your Audi!
Just one of my favorite car pics for fun.
