"Nightmare Cruise" with a happy ending.

As you know photobucket has decided to hold our images for a yearly $400 ransom. Until I get the time to fix some threads, here are a couple of attached images:

Is that a souped up Valiant in the Shell parking lot.

Frank, These are way better than your other post. I don't get the line on #5. reference to the Dodge p/u?

Boy some great stuff there.


Was this on the way to the Obama town hall meeting?

I really like the last one. Makes me want to go out to my garage and work on my AMX that's been torn apart for waaaaay to long

There's a lot of nice muscle out there. Re the truck in the photo I would think that if it was an OLD truck it would change the mood to "back in time". It doesn't fit the surroundings, so takes away from the shot (my opinion). Looks like the streets are coming alive once again.

hey frank, you should slow your shutter speed to around 160... unless you only like the front ends in focus while the other part is going 1000000 mph

1 - 5 get my vote. nice to see some cars in action from you! certainly got some nice lighting too! Beautiful machines.

Nice shots.

I am just getting to my Telegraph shots and you have Woodward already!?


"7. Not so great of a shot, but got two Chevy's in it & a nice mood, so it's a borderline keeper."

Note - the FORD is out in front. hahaha And an '04 Mustang GT Conv. too. Nice.

Nice series of shots, some awesome looking cars thanks for sharing

It's a '62 Dart, heavily modified, aluminum body... and my favorite Mopar - small, light, fast, & ugly.
'62 Dodge Dart 478

Yes. I've had a lot of potentially nice shots that had something of the wrong period in them.

Actually, I think they were running away from it?

I've always thought that they should have been way more popular, so get to work, Mike! Don't forget to take build pics so you can make a book on it. And here's some incentive:
Some shots of Jim's '68 AMX

You mean speed up to 1/160, no?

Yes, I really do! To me, it means "Motion". To some others, it means OOF. "Different strokes...".

As a Mopar guy I have to point out that even a blind pig finds the occasional acorn?"

Thanks for the comments everyone! More to come...

great atmosphere and wonderful colours
love to see all whats going on like it

the background blurring with the last two moving cars looks slightly unreal. but that could be all part of the magic
just wondering ..did you add the neon type backgrounds in the last faster moving shots Frank?

wonderful that you got so many shots on the street , and to see them here. ta

The gas station shot was quite funny, kinda like in the 70s where the shortage of gas happened.

Not in any of the "Cruise" shots at this time. They're all pretty much picking the spot to shoot from & hoping that the shutter speed is close to right for the speed that they're moving at the time you get a potential shot through a hole in traffic. Then some dufus on a bicycle or minivan gets in the way.
I throw a LOT of shots away!

I remember those days, & you're right, it's just like that. And I was only getting about 13mpg around town with the 383.
