A few photos of my Daily Driver Volvo 855

[Fool]

Feel free to CC, I can use the advice. I'm still fairly green to photography. I haven't had much time to get out and shoot with my wedding coming up next week, but yesterday, I took about 10 minutes for an impromptu photo shoot. Rain was only 30 minutes away, and the location was only 5 minutes from my house.

I did some post processing in lightroom to correct noise, exposure, sharpen, and add a slight vignette on a few of the photos to help draw the eye to the subject.

Nice light & few bad reflections in #1. When you have more time & a better day, read the tips in my sig & try for some sunset in the side:

You can tell its about to rain, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. That can lead to some cool cloud cover but usually leaves the images a bit flat without strobes. Its all about location, location location! Whenever your driving around keep it in the back of your head that your looking for interesting places to shoot. I had an 854 T5, what a car that thing is. I really miss it, and those seats! Are you going to be doing any mods? I highly suggest checking out iPd if you haven't already. Swedespeed.com is another good place to start as well. There isn't much better than sailing past people in a "grocery getter".

It's "slightly" modded. Koni adj. struts, H&R springs, new intercooler hoses, and more boost. ;) I'm familiar with most of the US volvo forums and sites dedicated to volvo parts. I'll probably find more locations when I have more free time. Right now life seems to be centered around working, preparing for my wedding this week, and the honeymoon next week. :lol:

I'm hoping to get some pictures while we're in Charleston, SC next week.
