Just got home after my car was parked outside after it was snowing - decided it was a good time to practice taking pictures, but I don't have a DSLR so I have to make do with a point-and-shoot - sorry about the pic quality

Also, feel free to give me tips about finding some interesting angles for photos

front (see my toyota matrix in the background?):






ass:





TL alongside Jaguar XJ8 VDP :

 

Wow. i can't imagine my TL covered in snow. I feel sorry for you non-Floridians

Pics are ok. Try taking some shots down low to get the TL straight on instead of coming down from above.

 

Good thing my car has never seen snow, I refuse to drive it when it snows..are those pictures taken in richmond BC by anychance because we got dumped on last night!

 

Driving in the snow is FUN!

 

i bought my car for a "winter car" because my Roush mustang defentiantly cant drive in the snow, i figured this TLS was the next best thing in my budget (i dont like trucks)

 

haha yeah i live in richmond - you too?

 

i think we are getting hit now with the storm that dumped the snow on you guys. i live down in oregon

 

that looked like my car before i scraped off the windows, so it's probably the same storm

 

yeap richmond FTMFW!! haha

 

did you happen to install that cai yourself? my fujita cai should be arriving next week and I want to get to work on it but i'm kinda afraid i might screw it up.

 

WOW. it was 79 here today lol.

 

^^^ lucky.... i hate snow.

 

My car is stuck at the Richmond Automall and it's building with icecles. lol

I can drive it out, I have my snow tires at home and I'm trying to figure out a way to bring the snow wheels down from my house.

 

I am not looking forward to the snow. But I have no choice I have to take Tasia out. I should move down south already but I'm a city boy to the core.

 

THAT'S a snow storm?
LOL You BC guys always make me laugh.
I lived in Vancity and in Richmond... Two inches of snow would be considered a 'snow day' and thus no school.....

BC "snow storm" is like a regular day of snowing in Montreal.



Anyway, you may want to try to get a way to get more light onto the vehicle....
As for angles, try say...
Some low 3/4 angles or a "half-bird-eye-view" on the hood/front bumper section...
Or perhaps a shot nearly parallel to the vehicle's side...

 

i think what really brings out the TL is if you are sitting like right where the headlight curve it, so you can get the front bumper and side shot/wheels in the pic it turns out good
for example...


you can get a good idea of what the wheels look like as far as gap, and such, you can see the stance of the car
and lip kit if you have it, and in my case, the hood
hehe

 

that storm hit seattle pretty hard too.
tl has been holding up real well though.

 

At the time of the picture, the snow was already falling pretty slowly - it was snowing much harder before, but granted, Montreal would get much heavier snow

 

Hahah yeah... it'll get much heavier in Montreal if there were a snow storm.
I'm in Kitchener now, would love to visit or live in vancity/richmond again.
Great cities!... Once you look past the corruptness.

Did you get any new shots of your car? =]
You should bring the TL up to Whistler and see if you can get some awesome shots---or get a pic by the big electronic-bill-board for the 2010 Olympic countdown for us Canadians. hah

 

get low!!

 

yo!! you guys in Van too!! lol..saweeeet..
eh...Richmond aint that bad..try livin up in van with all the hills...

hey..you guys should check out our local group/board..
www.bcperformancegroup.com...
go register...we always have meets and events!!

 

I'm thinking I wanna take some pics in front of that new speed skating oval they opened up like two days ago. Looks pretty ballin'. Washed my car with some ONR so its nice and clean right now

 

No body said there was a snow storm.......?
confused here?

But the snow came pretty unexpectedly and heavy.

 

lol Sorry. My mistake. I meant to say snow day... I just kept thinking 'snow storm' because that's all we get in Montreal.

On the real, I wish I was in Van/Richmond RIGHT NOW. I miss that place so bad.



You BCers should plan a meet-up for Richmond Night Market or something hahah.

 

I miss Vancouver so much...

 

We should REALLY have a TL meet in Vancouver. Everything happens in SoCal

 

like hamsup said sign up on www.bcperformancegroup.com we have constant meet for dinner and cruises!

for all the out of towners feel free to sign up and just check out this group!

 

Damn, you guys got hammered!

 

get over it? theres my tip.. its snow..wow maybe if every single member made a thread about snow, it would be even MORE interesting..

 

TL Snow drift meet.
Hahhahaha, jk. They have those in Subie club.

BCPG is our meet forum. it's like the 2nd Azine. I go back and forth.

 

I don't wanna come to the wrong conclusion, but you do realize I started this thread mainly because I wanted to ask photography questions, and because it's kinda nice to have a snowy background. What are we supposed to get over?

 

Let him be, guy's probably having an emo moment.

 

The funny thing is that there actually is another thread opened about snow in socal. Just for kicks, I should go take photos and post another thread about snow.. hahah.

Anywho, knavinusa. You have a tripod? What P/S are you using? forgot to ask you before....
At work I was playing around with some P/S cameras and they are getting pretty advanced.

 

I have the Panasonic DMC-FX33, and it's not a bad camera by any means, but it doesn't give you a lot of control. And yeah, I have a tripod.

I also have a PowerShot A80 lying around, but I didn't know enough about photography to use all of the features. Now that I do have some knowledge though, the FX33 does seem to be a bit lacking.

 

nice ride what drop is that?
