Club Photo?

[hpmotzd]

I think i know of a good parking garage over here. They just built a brand new one behind the Peoria library and courthouse area on 83rd ave. i will try and remember to go by there tomorrow before the cruise and take a look.

Speaking of which...take a look at the cruise thread...

Eh.

My crappy camera gave a good enough pic. But I see a way we can do it better. Club members that are missing...you will ALWAYS have that. You're dreaming if you think everyone can make it once, just won't happen. Your camera could have pulled it off. But I have faith in Marks camera because it's amazing.

I think we should do it again, day is best...night wasn't bad. Like I said with a better camera than mine (almost all) and it's a great shot.

As for Craig...that's on him...not us. He knew we were doing it...should have brought it.

So lets call this a practice run. In a perfect world we'll do it in the day light, but will live with the night time. We have four or five rows (vs three) or we'll figure out a way to stagger that many cars.

Gotta start looking at the bright side of things Al. ;) I think we all need to hang aournd with KEV more. lol

Actually Kenny, your cam did fine. The only thing keeping it from being a "perfect" shot is that it wasnt held still. Same thing for mine since, as you see, the first pic I took was great. Thats the thing about the night shots, the cams gotta be dead rock steady. What IS your cam? If it has a night setting, using that and no flash and a soild mount (or steady hand) takes care of the pic issues.

Tripod's tend to be rather usefull for night pics...

I have to check Al (Panasonic I know...#'s not sure).

AZ you are right 100%, problem is we were on a 10' ladder and the person shooting it wasn't a club member, I guess not that (that) matters and like Alan said, it wasn't her camera's. I suspect she wasn't too steady because she was on the top rung. lol

Oops! I just realized the camera person was a club member (wife) and not who I thought it was. But like I said, that really doesn't matter. In fact even if a couple of the shots were blury...it still didn't matter because the camera person couldn't make the black cars lighter. lol

Yes, but these pics were taken from a ladder. I brought mine because I figured Id need to use the timer for me to be in the pic. I wasnt sure how I was going to make the tripod work with the ladder. Doesnt matter though, we had Rays wife take the pics. And used his ladder instead, which wouldve made it impossible to use the tripod.

Yeah. We need a little tutorial and practice work on the ladder and things should be fine. Or, strap the cam down to the top rung and use the timer.

ALAN "And used his ladder instead, which wouldve made it impossible to use the tripod."

Yeah that is why the tripod wouldn't work. ;) Are you really saying shooting 20+ cars from a tripod would have made the shot better??? Maybe the front row cars. Unless you have a 20' tripod, it's pretty useless to even talk about a tripod. So lets move past the tripod.

RAY...thank your wife for me, I very much a appreciate her efforts as we appreciate both of your efforts (taking the pics and bringing the ladder) ...Mark thank you for the use of your camera, Ray's wife did a great job with it!

First time shot worked out pretty well, the second time we do it, (it) will be better and guess what...the 3rd time...will even be better!

Personally I am happy with the shot (for now), we'll get better going forward...

[FalconGTHO]

Yes, thanks to Ray for the ladder. Wouldnt have been able to get the shot with my short ladder. And thanks to his wife for being the photgrapher for so many of us with all our cams.
