Some Random Pictures...

yellow 360...excellent pix...great detail. 512tr rear shot also very cool. thanks for sharing carb.

 

yup, and 3rd pic, u could just make out that it's a CS from the rims

 

On an SLR, you can add a polarizing filter when shooting through glass. On a camera like yours, though, I don't know what's available......

 

I was struck by the texture that the camera picked up. That was one of the many tasty elements in the picture set.

Pretty nice of those FoA folks to let you hang out to your heart's content

 

Great stuff. Some nice shots in there. Makes me want to get mine out for some fun.

 

My old Minolta has a built in light meter, as do most cameras, with an indicator in the view finder.

Being the cheap guy that I am I never bought a light meter but found a way around it by walking up to within a few feet of my subject and adjusting the exposure to the "local" light. I would then back off to the position I started from and took the shot WITHOUT readjusting the exposure. At that position the meter was reading outside the usual/recommended range as expected, it was being affected by the "overall" light as opposed to the "local" light. Usually the subject of the picture came out good with the surrounding areas being bleached or too dark as the case may be.

This method I DEScribe is a way to make a shot work out of desperation and not really considered "good" photography although I've had some pretty cool results regardless.

Just enough to get in trouble

 

thanks Carbon, you think you could send me a high res pic of the 512TR/360 shot to me

 

Carbon, tell me you took more than one pic of that white 355 GTS sitting out there alone in the parking lot...it was just screaming "photograph me".

What a beautiful car!

 

thanks Carbon

 

On my digital point and shoot the setting for doing closeups (real close) is called Macro. It's a "depth of field" thing. There were lenses for my Minolta that could move the focused area as close or as far away as I wanted by adjusting the focal length of the lense, at the time it was considered a telephoto lense with Macro. Old school stuff by a different name today.

Soooooooooooo aaaahhhhhhhhh, when are you going to start looking for "models"? eh?

 

hate to break up the lovefest, but shouldn't this thread about "photographs" be in the showroom.

 

Carbon,

It was great to meet you at FOA this weekend!! Actually a great story.. I just happened to be visiting Atlanta to see friends for the weekend and popped by the Ferrari dealer and saw this guy walking around with a prancing horse tatoo on his chest.. I said to my friends I think I know that guy.. LOL.. I have only been a forum member a couple months but it is nice to run into a forum member at a dealership..

For what it's worth the local lambo dealer in Atlanta was very generous and moved 3 cars to let me take a test drive of an 02 murcillago.. I have never gotten service like that at a f-car dealership.. The Merci was a blast to drive..

Back in Michigan now wishing I could drive the 360.. snow.. snow.. go away!!
