THE BATRAM

[Carlwalski]

Hi Dodge Charger Forum members, I had a few PMs so thought I may as well share my custom toy; THE BATRAM. It's a 2006 Dodge Ram SRT/10 - Night Runner Edition. I'm very happy and very proud of the way it has turned out. All but the new upholstery of the seats were done by myself with the help from Dad including all the details, vision and photos/videos so it turly is one of my own creations. There are a lot of fine details and Bat touches that are not shown in the photos below. I won't bore you all to tears with every detail and the mods list, etc. These can be viewed on my website: Carlwalski.Com While it may not be everyone's cup of tea, I'm over the F%#ken moon with it!!



Cheers,
Carlwalski

Why thank you Sir! I enjoy taking photos (of cars only). They are models to me and deserve the best stage they can be given. No one likes to see a hot blonde with big tits standing in front of bins or power lines, so why should our beloved cars!?! It's just a part time hobby, nothing more.



Cheers,

Sweet truck .  A friend had a SRT Ram and was shocked on the performance of it.  I'm sure you have some goodies in it to even be a little better..

Thank you Sir and to everyone else. I see you are a man with classic tastes, good bloke.
To me, new school is cool but noting beats old school American Muscle/Pony - NOTHING.

Some more of my Challenger R/T - Lucy. 440ci Magnum, TF727, PW, PS, PB, A/C, been in NZ since 1971.
All numbers matching, 3-1/2 year nut and bolt show quality restoration.  She'll always be my baby, first MoPar too.


Cheers,

Thanks Mike. But, as I said, it's all nice getting comments, having nice images on the net but at the end of the day, in the real world, it just doesn't get used as much as I thought it would and it's a lot of coin tied up just sitting there in the driveway. If it's a nice day I'd rather take the Challenger or Charger out. Too many toys, not enough time, something has to give. Looks good and is cool (if I do say so myself) but I need to get real. I've owned it and had my enjoyment out of it, it'll always be my creation, $### in the pocket is better than seeing it just sit there. Plus, an SRT8 Jeep is more suited to my lifestyle (parts hauler, dogs, surfing, golf, booze, birds, mates) and has better performance than the Ram.

Awesome pics man. What camera are you using? I would say that your pics are better than many I see in magazines. Love the challenger too. If I ever get a challenger. It will be all white too. It would be a 71 though.

Sweet tuck as well. I have to say that I agree. It's better to put the money in your pocket and let someone else enjoy it than let it sit and do nothing.

Thanks mate, much appreciated. The main one I use on my "shoots" isn't anything fancy, it's a Sony DSC-F828 (8 mega pixels) so it's out dated and under powered now but it is an easy camera to use. I'm still not happy with the aperture and some of the settings I'm using and am learning each shoot what to do and what not to do. I have been told by many that I have "an eye" at bringing the best out in subjects, especially cars. I think that is what it comes down to, the shooter, not the camera (in a non-bragging way LOL). If I could pass on advice it would definitely be to think outside the box and don't be afraid to tilt the camera and use different angles.

Sure beats seeing a car that's half in shot, up someones driveway being overpowered by a weeks worth of house hold trash protruding out of a bin in the background lol. Below are a few shots of my Dad's SRT8 as some examples, nothing over the top, just making each shot a little more dramatic by getting lower/higher and adding tilt (don't tilt too much though). Another important factor is definitely background, it's very important. I never park on grass or in front of "urban sprawl", find something that is interesting but not so much that it takes the impact away from the car, remember, the car is the star! There are heaps of no nos but never really any set rule, any rule with photography can be broken in the right situation. The car and how it sits is important too, eg: wheels turned the right way or interior clutter out the way, etc. If you ever want any tips just ask. I'm no pro myself but enjoy car photography and am keen to help, after all..........who doesn't like eye candy??
