Was cool meeting up to take some shots with you jumper. Most of mine didn't turn out - My auto focus setting was whacked for the first location so almost every shot was out of focus. The second spot was only slightly better. I posted up what few turned out okay here:

Looking forward to yours.

Very nice shots gteehan. Where were those taken? Give me a shout next time you are going out, I'd like to join you for the next shoot. A cab would look real nice in the frame.
BTW-we have the same b-day.

Yeah, add me to the list for the next time! Those are some great shots, and exactly the kind of shots I've been wanting to take of my car.

cool shots!! geetan are those the same HRE twist wheels that I've got?
send me an email next time if you want me to come out with the tt, I live 5 minutes from brickworks where you shot. I was busy with the Hockey game last night and some work around the house, otherwise I would have come out.

I sorted though them and removed a lot of duplicates. Just did auto levels and resized them so you can have an idea how they turned out. These are the camera processed jpeg images. I have all the raw images to process my self and change the exposure and white balance. I tried it on a few and it does get rid of a lot of the red.

Same same! I think it would be a cool shot with a bunch of Porsche's parked underneath that 'structure'. Vacant by day, Porsche factory by night?

Nikon D80? Very nice!


Btw, that shot on Lake Ontario is amazing, I'm down for sure next time and I'll bring my Olympus E-500, I figure the more cameras the better the chance of one of us getting a good shot!

EDIT: Hey Jumper, wow what a difference, can I have the RAW to play around with?

Those shots down by the docks parking lot are amazing. You can never go wrong there. But how did you get in? I've usually gone down late at night and the gates are locked closed.

Are the other shots taken by the distillery or the esplanade?

The shots were taken at the parking lot across from The Docks (Cherry St). Zeeman- I guess I've just been lucky with the lot being open -it always seems to be when I go. The second location was the Don Valley Brick Works a.k.a. Evergreen, Rethink Space. Jumper and I got lucky this time in that the gates were left open so we could drive around inside. Every other time I've been they're locked up.

@99three, Christien, cleanme: Thanks. When I decide to go it's usually pretty spontaneous - but I'll be sure to post again as soon as I know.

@TurboDan: They're actually the stock lobster fork wheels that have been painted. Too bad you couldn't make it - that 993TT is far and away my favorite 911.

@ Jumper: Some of those turned out really good IMO. I may download a few and try tweaking them a bit.

I will upload higher resolution ones for the ones you want. those are too small and not worth working on.
As for yours can email me larger sized ones 1920 would be great.
