These are in front of a model house in Plymouth, MN. House prices are pretty crazy around here. The house is listed at $1.525,000. It looks better with a Marauder in front:help:

what size tires are on your car in this picture?

[airborne_mp84]

nice ride hieght in the rear, mine sits alittle lower in the rear...are those rear tires 255? sweet pics

[jdando]

Stock tires back in place. 245/55/18 in the rear and 235/50/18 in the front. It might be sitting different since the air suspension may not have adjusted since a tire swap.

You missed a spot...:P

I believe for $1.525 mil, you are paying for the angle the rest of the house is in relation to the garage. Also, the garage better be as deep as Triple Trans Am's.

Nice, pics, Jeremy. :2thumbs:

Looks good! I think the Mach 1 chin spoiler would add a nice touch since you already have the spoiler, just an idea.

Looks great Jeremy! Man, out of all the mods you have, I'm surprised you don't have tinted windows!

All photo tips or comments welcome!Although the house is way cool, it (and all the trees) make the background too busy and also deflect attention from the car. The shots with the plain grassy knoll in the background are more better. :D

If speaking purely towards your photo skillz, I would say a couple things:

try different exposures, also shoot during the "golden hour (i.e. 5-7 depending on where you are)"

Make sure you have even lighting over your whole subject, I notice in a couple photos you have your back wheel brighter then the rest. It looks to be due to hole in the shadow by trees or something?

Framing, think about your framing, if you put a lot of space above your object, it will make it look small and sometimes coward, if you put the camera low to the ground you will give your car more presence. If you shoot neutral the car will probably blend in with the background.

Anyway, those are my tips, for what they are worth, here are some examples of shots I have taken of my car:

Here is a pic of my brothers car. I call this shot the "forum sig shot", because it is what most people like to use for their signature.

Here is a pic of some marauders I hung out with, notice how low and far away I am from the cars.

Anyway, hope that helps. By the way your pics are promising, if you need help figuring out the settings for your camera, just tell me the model you are using and I will look it up and download the manual to give you some tips.

You Should Have Parked It In The Drive Way.NICE PICTURES CAR LOOKS GREAT.

The car looks great! Phots tips: wait for the sweet light (early morning or evening) and turn wheel in so the rim shows and not the tread.
