Looks fantastic as always Dave. I kinda wished the front wheel wasn't turning or maybe the front suspension was compressed since the wide angle kinda gives a funny shape to the car. Of course, looking at it at 320x240 on my pda doesn't help. LOL

Great job! Love the daytime look too! Makes it even more amazing.

Richard,

In comparison to some of my other shots, the thing to keep in mind is that this is the stock suspension, so the ride-height difference is contributing to what you're seeing. IMO, this is more of an issue with the fender wheel gap rather than the suspension being loaded up on one side of the car.

Here's my car (lowered on H&R's)



BTW, let me know what you think once you see the picture again on your monitor and not your PDA.

Dave

Nice photo


Interesting effect with the wheel speed being such that the brake caliper looks completely uncovered

Amazing shot, DiD!

So do I understand correctly that the camera is attached to the car *in* the photo? Did you retouch to remove it?

Dave...any pics of the "rig?" Or is it a proprietary setup?

Beautiful photo, I agree you would probably want to be turning right instead of left. I assume you PSed the rig out of the shot.

that is a nice shot. I thought at first you were driving next to the car and held the camera down low by hand for what would have been captioned, "kids dont do this with your dad's camera."

Maybe some day we will see the rig. I can understand why you do not want to post pics of it.

Yes, it's been lowered. I forget what type of springs though (not my car).
