Pretty cool picture.

sweet picture

99GAGTX · 04-25-2006, 08:12 PM

Very nice picture! Looks like you could have been a good candidate for a calendar.

However, it's just a tad blurry. Are you using a film camera, or a digital? Being a die-hard film camera nut, I hate to admit it, but a digital camera does a much better job with night shots. Or easier, anyway. To get a show quality photo at night with a film camera, you usually need a tripod and the proper speed of film. And a little bit of knowledge of how long to keep the shutter open.

Sweet pic. Keep em coming!

Where is that at????

How would i get there??

boost21 · 04-25-2006, 08:35 PM

sweet pic man

your turbo'd??

hatz268 · 04-25-2006, 08:49 PM

yea i used a digital camera. i know its blurry but it was a last minute thing and didnt bring a tripod so i put the camera ontop of a baseball bat and used that. so ghetto.

the picture was taken downtown chicago at the shedd aquarium. kinda illegal tho cuz we pulled up on the sidewalk, but it was worth the shot. ill have more this weekend hopefully.

depends on where youre coming from to get there. let me know which highway ur by and ill give u directions. if u can get to soldier field, its like 2 blocks away.

Rubered00 · 04-25-2006, 09:10 PM

Im in Naperville so im right by 88. How illegal are we talking??? is the sidewalk RIGHT off of the parking lot? What time were you there so i have an idea for the buildings being lit up??? cause some of them shut off lights right???

Take your Grand Am that's "atop of the list" and leave... Polish your fat rimz first though. You never know if there's a 12 year old around that might be impressed.

hatz268 · 04-25-2006, 10:06 PM

^^^^ thank you.

number one its not stock, and if you can do better, so be it. im perfectly fine with working with a budget and doing what i can to my car. theres more to my car than u can see at night, so therefore, keep your smart ass comments to yourself.

anyways it wasnt that illegal, but if a cop drove by you could get a ticket. i think some securtiy guards walked by as i was taking it, they didnt say much. i went to the shedd aquarium around 900-930ish and i drove up on the sidewalk cuz there was a lip like a normal household driveway. from 88 you would take that to 290 east towards Indiana and then get onto 55 north and then 41 (Lake Shore Drive) north. then exit at 18th. if you wanna ride up there one day let me know, id be more than happy to meet up with you and show you some spots downtown.

If i had to guess i bet he has turbo dreams........not an actual turbo.
But ya never know.

hatz268 · 04-27-2006, 04:06 PM

no theres no turbo unfortunately, thinking more along the lines of a supercharger when i get the money. the vinyl was time consuming and in some parts it tricky to get right (like around the double post mirrors and on 4 doors on the rear doors). i recommend going to a local car parts store to see if they carry it, it took over 6 weeks for my order to get in from grafxwerks.com.

ill get some more recent shots and some engine pics hopefully later on, but its not much, just a CAI for now. thanks

hatz268 · 04-28-2006, 01:38 AM

here are some more shots. theres some more comin. stupid resizing makes them look all blurry : (
