Photo shoot with my charger yesterday

[resq302]

Seems to be.  Fairly large lake and the security officer was quite upset that I was blocking the boat launch ramp even though I was there for about a half hour and no one came to launch a boat, let alone drive down there.

Also, if you notice closely, in some of the pics my antenna is on and others it is not.  Thats because I remembered half way through that I forgot to put it on.  I usually take it off when I am driving due to the fact that the repro antennas are thinner than the factory ones and bend way too easily.  I paid close to $60 or $80 once, and I am not about to do it again!  Besides, you don't need an antenna to listen to MP3's inside the car.

All nice shots but No. 4 for me

Nice pictures.

Car is looking good.

But...remove the chicklets from the grille.

Is that a factory red/white car? Red and White is one of the coolest combo's on these cars.

Chris, already planning on removing the AACA emblems after I get the grille redone.  No it is not a factory red and white car but that is the color it was when I got the car 11 years ago and the body did not need any work done to it so thats why it stayed that color.  Originally it was born an F8 green with a green vinyl top and a tan interior.  However, the R4 Bright red paint and pearl white roof were options for the 1969 year so they are technically correct in a non numbers matching way.  Just like the engine and trans are not numbers matching but are correct era period parts.  Now if this was a #''s matching car Moparjohn's sunroof car, you better believe that would be back to its original born color scheme if it were me.

Nice Pics     I like 2 & 8

One more thought if your going back to the same place with another car to take a picture. It appears that you took these pictures around 11 am to 1 pm as the sun is coming down on the cars making for a nice square shadow under it. I'd suggest going out there within an hour of either sunrise or sunset. These are the two best times to take pictures of a car, or landscape. The sunlight is at the best natural color to make for amazing shots. It really does make quite a difference in the same shots. Make sure all the windows are rolled down and if going for a shot from an angle make sure to get low enough that you can make out all 4 tires in the shot.

As for the car, aside from a few upgrades for reliability, it is as close to factory as you can get!

I honestly never checked your tag to see that it was an original green/tan car. Are you also saying that the engine & trans are not matching #'s either? I had no idea.
Please don't take that the wrong way, I'm not picking your car apart at all. It is a VERY nicely restored & detailed car. You absolutely have something to be proud of. But phrases such as "restored to factory specs" or "just like it rolled off the assembly line" do not apply. You'd have to go back to green.

Did I say that?  If I did, I meant to say like the car COULD have rolled off the assembly line.

 After two days of looking at the shots I prefer number one, but only if the photo is cropped to remove a lot of the gravel and the wood box on the right. I like the sky in the pic though.
(BTW: the plaques on the grill don't bother me nearly as much as the sticker on the windshield.
IMO.) I like the white walls better too, and the windows should absolutely be down.
The tips about Morning/Evening light are correct, you might also bring a step ladder in the trunk to gain some elevation, I'm not generally fond of the worms eye views in car photography, I prefer holding the camera a bit higher to show more of the surface area and contours.
And moving the camera slightly from side to side to get different reflections or highlights can pay major dividends.
as I said, my two cents...
