these are quite nice :) i can't believe they haven't been commented on yet. the light is good, reflections well-controlled, exposures good. 2 & 4 for me.

Nice. What are your thoughts on the new 2008 model?
I actually like the lines of this car more but the new one looks very agressive.

thanks guys, I wish I had brought some reflectors with me when I did these

The '09 Camaro is a sweet car, I've seen both of em up close and personal (I was at the unveilings of both the hardtop and vert, and at the production announcment) and they look even better in real life than in photos. The one thing that scares me is the IRS. I'm worried that it just wont be up to the task of putting up with big power.

I love my car too though, and I hate the idea of selling it if I wanna get one of the new Camaros (or I may be going to a Shelby Mustang) It will break my heart to see that thing go. Heck its only got 29K and change on it.

Edit: I see you are from AU, have you seen any of the test mules on the road there?

i can't believe they haven't been commented on yet. People here seem to think they have to pay per post? Many don't comment & then wonder why they don't get any comments either. I wish I had brought some reflectors with me when I did these It looks pretty good, but a better location will help to reduce the crap reflecting in the side. Seen this?

I would love to find some better locations believe me, thats why I was out that day. (hey your from this area, you know of any good spots in the downriver detroit area :) ) Previous to this it was pretty much just the driveway, and the park a few miles from where I live, but I havent gotten any decent shots there. I want to go out "scouting" for better ones one of these days.

I dont know if using reflectors would have helped or hurt these, but Ive never used them and want to give them a try to brighten up the front/rear of the car.

good spots in the downriver detroit area No, but look for wide open areas like parking lots, small airports, etc. Even with the light poles on parking lots, you can usually find an angle that won't give bad reflections in the car. reflectors ...try to brighten up the front/rear of the car. Softer light from the link I gave you will help.

As opposed to that bullet proof 10 bolt they have now! :)

Nice shots!

Actualy I have a 9 inch. Its pretty easy to swap out a live axle, IRS can be a bit more difficult.

I think you nailed the framing in the last shot there. Definitely my favourite. :)
