Looking for a true side view picture of a Charger 500 in high-res...

I'll also gladly accept any high rez picture that you're willing to pass along.
Charger 500 related that is!

Any particular ones that your refering to there Magnumcharger? Let me know which of the ones that I've posted that you would like a full size version of.

To be honest, I really liked every shot you've posted!!
So if you're feeling generous, send 'em all!

Thanks for the pictures Chris, I really like the shot going down the road!

One more that I've found so far.

Not trying to hijack this thread, but what color is that car? Looks like F6, but hard to tell with the shadows. Any more pictures of that car??!?!

[69_500]

Car is painted F6 green, however as we know it wasn't available at the time of production, its not the origional color of the car. I have about 10 of that car, but mostly video footage, as i shot about 15 minutes of video of that car.

I'm still wondering if it was not at least mathematically possible for a C500 to have been painted F6 Green, although if one ever surfaces you'll probably be among the first to find out about it.  The engineering paperwork does show that it would have been in production sometime after November 6th - but there may not have been enough time for someone to phyiscally enter an order in for a C500 with a new color like that.



No matter what, they do look good in that color.

[69_500]

I agree, it should be possible by everything I've seen. However I've never ran into one, and everyone I've asked said they didn't make any in that color. But if you placed an order on say November 10th, then your car would be built probably in the next 4-6 weeks, which puts it around December 16-19th, which would be the last days of production for the 500's.

I'd love to get a straight-on shot of any '68-69 Charger if it's truly straight/even/big.

I think the best way to do it would be to get the camera about level with the door handle or so, and get the camera physically WAY-Y-Y back from the car and zoom way back in on the car to compensate.  It would flatten out a lot of the fisheye perspective problems that come in when you try to shoot a side-view when the camera is relatively close to the object. 

 

[69_500]

Technically speaking the lens would have its best capacity to capture the true clarity of an object being photographed at its smallest point, so zooming in would technically negate some of the clarity capabilities of a lens. Your right though the best way would be to get back to where you can get the entire vehicle in the shot, and mount the camera on a tripod. Best resolution would be on a camera that is capable of being set with an ISO of 100, and I'd stay away from any lens that is smaller than 17mm. When you get into the 14-16mm lens they get the fisheye look.

[Mike DC]

 
I just mean in terms of the angle issues in general, not really specifically a "fisheye" problem.


If you're doing a shot that's basically a side-view in the schematic sense, then even just a natural amount of perspective issues from being a couple yards away from the vehicle is already an annoyance.  I think flattening out the image (with being distant and zooming in on the car) is probably more relevant in this case than sqeezing out every last scrap of resolution with a closer-up take.
