I haven't taken recent photos, so this is some of my collections.



Not a TL, but I like the background, Red Rock Canyon, near Las Vegas.

Oh dear...

Plenty of nice cars on this thread, but a real dearth of good photos.

*sigh*

Oh, it's alright. It's all in good fun anyway. I was just hoping that people would go out and make an effort to capture the car in nice settings, paying a bit of attention to the colour of the background, the focus (especially the focus), the lighting, exposure, and just the general composition of the photo(s) before posting them. Oh well, there's always tomorrow.

Actually, I quite like this one. If the steering had been turned slightly to the left, it would have given us a good glimpse of the wheels.

I mean there are times I don't have a lot of time but I go out to a decent place take 10 to 20 pictures and come up with 3 to 5 I post on the site. I mean to take those pics I dont even move the car I just park it once. The total process takes like 20min.

I mean I also do in depth shoots sometimes of my car and they have taken up to an hour before.

Thanks, but not as "dead sexy" as yours, from what I've seen.

Here's a few from beautiful Colorado.


Estes Park, CO


The Stanley Hotel (The Shining)


Rocky Mountain National Park

Camera:Kodak DX3600
Lens (if applicable):35 - 70 mm Fixed: f/3.3 - 4.5
Date and Time:January 7, 2006 around 3pm
Other info:2.2MP @ Best Quality 1800x1200


Colorado scenery makes for for some awesome backdrops! And with the TL getting there really is the fun part. The rock formations, incredible lighting and spectacular blue sky really look great.

I used an old Kodak DX3600 camera in the late afternoon. I was strictly a "film guy" using a 35mm Canon SLR, but with the advances in digital photography it may be time to upgrade.

All I need now is a better camera, cleaner car and more time. When the weather starts to co-operate again I'll add some better entries to the "contest".

Thanks for the contributions, Stuart. You probably know this already, but if you're in the market for a digital camera, have a look at www.dpreview.com to see what's new. It's a pretty useful site. Nice car, by the way.

Go ahead and post them. Maybe they'll help inspire others to put that little *extra* bit of effort in their subsequent efforts.
