Some Photos Of Lucy

[Carlwalski]

Hi NZ,
What can I say, both look great! 
As far as your photo hobby, you don't have to just take pictures of cars.
A nice babe in the shot would work well, too.

lol I wouldn't say no to that! (no leaning though).  Thanks everyone, hopefully this may give some others a few ideas on locations and photo opportunities. Basically, don't be shy to try weird angels.

Nice photos, Carl.

  Carl she is stunning as always. And your right, always try different techniques and angles. That is good advice in a lot of areas............ Love your Dad's car, we just bought a 300 ourselves, but not an SRT version. 

[Carlwalski]

Well there goes my appetite. 

Yup, lovely cars IMO. I think they're definitely a car you either love or hate, no sitting on the fence with the 300Cs. I wouldn't have minded one for a daily driver but Dad has his and there is no manual option. Though, Keisler offer a 6-speed conversion kit which had me pondering.....


Thanks.

Hey NZ!  Both you and Lucy are looking well.  You got some really nice angles there.  Glad all is well.

Very nice pics Carl, Lucy looks great.

I'm with TTman, that second one he posted is easily my favorite.   

[Carlwalski]

Thanks guys, glad you liked them.

Oh man! That's beautiful!

Not that i think you need help, but maybe someone else here gets inspired by your photos and feel like whipping out their digital camera?  I know i did, but i don't want to expose the Chally to salted roads.
This has probably been posted here before, but in the odd chance it haven't:

There used to be some examples of bad photos in the article, but they seem to be gone now.

Thanks Ornamental, I've seen that a while ago but thanks all the same. Lots of interesting ideas and images on the net. I often browse car pages to get different ideas and to see what others are doing. Good thing with photography is there are no "set" rules. It's all in the eye of the photographer, it's good fun. Especially loading them into the PC for the first time to see what they look like outside of the little cameras LCD screen lol.


Cheers.

Very...very...nice dude    I can only wish mine was that clean. Who would win in a 1/4 mile race? Lucy or your dads SRT?  I know that the SRT hauls, just not sure how stock Lucy is. What is Lucy's rim and tire size/offset? I have read it before, but cant remember.

Thanks JS23U0B.

Front - 245/60R15 on a 15x7" Rallye with 4-1/4 BS
Rear  - 275/60R15 on a 15x8" Rallye with 5-1/2 BS

All factory stock suspension except IAS Edelbrock performer shocks.

In a drag race, to be honest, I'd say Dad's SRT8 would win. His is around 330kws (only mod is a CAI kit) but stock the car is 319kws so the advantage is already there. I'd like to say Lucy but nope. Lucy is basically stock bar the headers and exhaust. I estimate Lucy to be on or around 400hp & 500ft-lb of torque. I'd say Lucy is capable of mid low 13s. Dad's would be the same but would edge her out off the line.

dang you have a nasty camera. those look GOOD

[Carlwalski]

From what I know, Lucy is 100% stock/unmodified.

Its a manual car R/T? I cant remember if its a 440 6pack car or not.

The 2nd Photo NZ (in your 1st post) Looks like a toy car, doesnt look any bigger then a matchbox 

The 1st photo, you sharpened 3 lights, the inner light on right side of picture (inner light on left side of vehicle) Stayed blury... lose 10points for that 

Is that YOU In the photo? - Totally different from what I imagined 

I still admire original R/T's though It would be silly for me to get an R/T cause I like doing my own little changes here n there. Theres more for pics for me to save now 

Thanks, I guess? lol Yup, that's me! I often hear "not what they expected". I'm not your average half-cast English/Island boy and I guess my "young" age throws some off lol. The blazer should sum up my personality. Rock! Mopar! Drink! Oh well, if it weren't for the thousands of young Mopar enthusiasts like myself and Goody etc this hobby would never move forward. As for the 1st photo, nope, that's light glare from the flash. It's hit the top of the corner chrome bumper. Can I have my 10 points back or? Lucy is a TorqueFlite-727 & 440 Magnum, good highway brawler, #s matching.

Thanks Mike, I know you're into your photos too so thanks for the feedback. I'm only using a 8mp camera so it's nothing "too" hi-tech. Did look at a 12mp but holy crap, rather put that money into Madeline. The camera I'm using is a Sony DSC-F828 (below). I have a polarized filter coming which I'd recommend to rid car reflection, have a remote cord commander. Click the button to take photos so you don't bump it with your hands, tri-pod and a few other misc extras.
