Rollies and... October-Garage-Shoot LOTS of pics!!

I'm relatively bored at the moment as I didn't feel like going out for pre-Halloweens-partying [well it is Halloween now].
Sooo... Thought I'd share some shots I did back in September and some in october.

These are all my friends rides. Minus the SSM TL which is mine.
First off: Garage Shots! =p






My TL is a creep.


A Road side pic:


Some Views of Detroit at like 5am:



Apparently, according to Caesar's Windsor, I'm not allowed to take a photo of this:


Anyway, back to cars, behind a factory/office:





Now, some rollies heading to and from a dock:










Sticking half of your body out of a vehicle window moving at 80-100km/h is lots of fun!




Anyway, at the docks...







A WILD PORSCHE APPEARS!!







So, yeah, happy Halloween!

Lots more photos that I didn't upload. Lots me as well in the album here:

The Volvo belongs to one of my good friends. He says he still has work to do on it... he quit school for the time being to work full time to make money for tuition. The sad life of a poor university student...

Lots of Lancers and Civics in Windsor, Ont!
Well... there are two! Sort of... haha

Actually, I just got home from a shoot... I took some photos my TL for once. Will edit and post them asap.

Thanks! Did the folks over at GM say you weren't allowed to take pictures of Caesar's Windsor? =p

Hahah... The Corolla is bland... yes, but the paint is immaculate! The only thing wowing me about it, actually, is hard-wired-USB-chargers... I'm thinking about doing that for the TL now!

Thanks! It took a while to scout out the areas.

Canadians can say the same about American Acuras then ;]

Thanks! The garage shoot focused mainly on that blue Lancer that night due to complications with another photographer [he's actually pro] during our last meet/photoshoot.

I admire your creativity with the light in the first few photos but I had to turn up the brightness of my laptop monitor just to see them

Nice pictures overall! You're just missing one of your TL

I actually processed/edited the photos on my MacBook... which is also hooked up to a nice Asus monitor... which [either way] makes things a lot more bright and vivid. On my netbook everything gets darker so I know what you mean about the brightness thing hahahah.
I'm not sure how to edit them that it's fine for a more general-range-of-monitors though.
As for my TL... well... just check out below!

Shots really bring out the text on those license plates

Looking good, LOVE the shot of your TL by the side of the highway.

If you're free in two weeks and feel like taking pics of a stock Accord, lemme know Seriously though, I'll be in Windsor Friday the 12th, anything to check out?

I had another shoot today.
October 31, '10 from 5-7. It was really cloudy out... so not the best lighting.
There are a total of 50 pics. The album is here to view if anyone is interested:
http://s706.photobucket.com/albums/w...graphy/Autumn/

So, let's start off with.....
Oh, sorry guys! Looks like the Volvo is here to stay






Now my buddy's relatively stock Civic Coupe!


Neckbreaker shot?



While shooting my friend's Civic... this guy came along.
Then...
Guy In The Hoody: Hey, so... you shoot photos and stuff? Do you like action shots?
Me: Uh... yeah, sure do??
Guy In The Hoody: Cool -calls dogs over-
So, some random pics of his relatively amazing dogs, for funsies:



He told them to freeze mid-step!


Anyway, my buddy's black Lancer:



Yes, that is a cemetery behind us... it was gated off though and we had no way in. Darn!






AND finally, since you've all been so kind.
My TL. BEWARE! The TL is VERY dirty... and funny story with my right passenger headlight.






I LOVE my [60SMT] switchbacks! I LOVE the deep-rich-amber color they give.
However... I'm very dissatisfied with the color. I smoked my clear Type-S diffuser... so now the switchback shines even more blue than the should. Now it's like I have 3 colors going on. I don't mind if it's ever slightly off from my Philips 85122+... but this is unacceptable!

Passenger headlight just condensed or scratched?

Either way, looking pretty good again. I for one love the Volvo

Hahah... I don't bother blurring out the plates.
Everyone in Windsor knows each others cars... and I'm sure no one on Azine would bother coming to Windsor for some lightly mod'd Lancers and Civics =p

Thanks for the comments!
Yeah, the shot on the side of the road was fun! It was VERY starry that night too! I managed to get a nice shot of that!
It was really cold that morning though... was my drive back from Montreal to Windsor after returning from vacation.

I'd love to shoot your car! Stock or not, I love automotive photography. The more photos I take the more I can expand on my knowledge [I want to be as good as sixsixfour!]. I'll be working all day on Friday the 12th though. If you're available on Saturday let me know and I'll give you my contact for meet up.
Windsor overall doesn't have a lot to do or see... Just the river, some docks... and the casino? hahah. Some relatively good bars though.

Man, I wish I could come Saturday. I'm in for UWindsor's open house, then staying with a friend in London Saturday and Sunday.

Who knows, if I get into UWindsor you'll have a lot more opportunities!

Hahah...
It was scratched and pitted before.
While reworking on my grille I decided to buff my headlight lens...
Don't know what happened but while buffing it---it went hazy/cloudy!
So I was like 'Hmn.... alright. I know how to fix this...' -CLEARCOAT!-
So I clearcoated the cover. Looked fantastic! Then... it dried.
I thought "wtf... what happened?" So, I looked at the bottle in my hand... -Clear Satin- FML... SMFH... Facepalm! [I didn't even have regular clear coat!] hahah. So I wetstanded it and rebuffed it... now it looks like that. I need some good polish to fix the lens.
But... I have a new headlight project in mind anyway [with new headlights].

OH! The light output doesn't LOOK like it has been lost... since it's still bright on the road but boy oh boy did I loose some light.
The cloudy/hazy lights now splash my lights... giving it a hi-beam sort of look. Not fun.
Also, the cutoff from my passenger headlight is now lost. The 'hi-beam' sort of look is also in the beam-cut-off!

Oh, that's too bad! UWindsor isn't so bad. Relatively good for business though. They're opening a new engineering building though!
London is a fun city. You should enjoy that!
