ATLP Lovin' ... with an Accord! [extensive pics]

Met up with a friend earlier today... hung out washed the cars and headed out to take some photos at Waterloo Tech something something.
It was bright and warm---but the wind made it chilly! Brrr..
For a while now my 'Winter Mode' has been the same as my 'Summer Mode'---and it still is.
245/40/17 Falken FK452 all around

Here are the pictures.

Pre-ATLP:




And now:

You definitely should. It's a lot of fun =]
I could have had more 'light-streaks' but then I didn't leave the camera on 'bulb'.

Hmn.. You are right.

Those last few pics are nice!

I like the grille but would ditch the emblem. Would look cleaner and more aggressive.

I'll take it off and see how I like it.
I figure it would look bare.

Yepp! It now has mesh and does not have that 'wing' in the grille.

You set the shutter speed very low. The lower the value the longer your shutter will stay open. It also helps if you increase the aperture size.
That way--it will maximize the amount of light entering your camera.
It would also help to get a tripod so you will have a clear-still-shot.

The reason why you only see the light trails is because the car is in constant motion and is moving too fast for the camera to absorb the light from the vehicle to take it's picture. Thus it only picks up the 'moving light' from the car. If you were to stop the vehicle during anytime in the photo... there is a chance that the moving car will be transparent.
It also depends when you move the vehicle after the photo has been taken.
The last 4 photos you see in this thread were moving right when the camera has began to take the picture.
The picture below was stationary and then had moved a moment after the camera had began to take the picture:

Next weekend I'm going to remake it... Going through a different approach.

If not about the grille---do you two have any suggestions as to what would make it 'less shitty'? I'm low on cash so... any mods will take time for me =[

Perhaps I know your friend......I'm a mod on 6thgenaccord.com. Car doesn't really look familiar though.

Are you going to make it to the CanAm meet in May??

Yepp!---Well.. I don't know too much about it. I just heard about the meet in May.
Do you have a link for info or anything? I'm not sure if TAC has a link posted for it...

Did you the Niagra Cruise back in July? Raul is the one with the black 6th gen---he might have had some big white decal on the hood

No I missed it last year unfortunately.

I don't have a whole lot of info yet. I'm doing most of the organizing on the US side and Derek (SykVsyx on TAC) is organizing on the Canada side. One of the guys is making a flyer so as soon as it's done I'm going to post it up in the meets section here, as well as about 6 other boards.

Hopefully it'll be done by the weekend.
