Congrats to all
Did the rain photo secret get spilled yet?
Lunch
Ok, ok. I will spill now, but you guys have to promise not to get mad at me.
When I first heard about this calendar thing, I was discouraged to even try because of my car's "niceness" It has a lot of rock chips, a crappy painted top with only one c-pillar seam filled, an electrical tape side-stripe (thats my favorite
).
Anyways, I had to get a picture that would hide all of that. Rain was the obvious choice.
My cousin has a pretty nice camera, he does weddings and things as a side business to make extra cash, so his camera is way more sophisticated than anything we would buy at Circuit City. He only lives a half mile away, so I gave him a shout. I had this crazy idea of wetting down the end of the driveway with the hose, to make it look wet. Then, parked the car just so, wheels turned, lights on. I got the step ladder for my cousin to stand on, so he could get up in the air to eliminate any chance of grass/tress/junk to be in the picture. I stood to the side with the hose and made it "rain". WSM guessed correctly. It was a touch dark outside, so he set the exposure a touch longer on the camera to brighten the picture.
Thats my secret. I just thought I'd give some creativity to the lot, make it stand out. Here are some more pictures we took.
