Here are a couple of recent pics of the Beast:


The action shot looks great!

It's hard to imagine anyone in front of you though.   :lol:

Oldschool the only thing I don't like about your barracuda is that it's not mine.

Very nice barracuda you got there  :2thumbs:

Oldschool, the motion shot looks like Hot Rod magazine cover material.  The transparent hood shot is just cool!!!  :thumbsup:

...personally, I wasn't offended, just asking a question

...I wasn't trying to be "an old lady" about the crash pix...I know the driver of the blue Cuda was known by people on several forums, possibly this one, and I felt it was maybe a little fresh in the minds of many...at the time, there was talk of a possible mechanical malfunction being the cause

...totally understand pix as a safety tool,  preferably when friends or family aren't in the audience

Very nice. I have trouble deciding whether I like the second or third shot the best.

So now that the cat's out of the bag, my wife and I tried to take some shots.  Think you guys would let one of these into the calendar?!

My opinion: I like them all, but the second shot is slightly marred by the Viper having stuff growing out of its butt. I prefer 1 and 3.

Nice shots! You may look into trying to add a polarizing filter to your lens, that will significantly cut down the various glares you can get on paint/glass.

Such as this one, the left image has no glare on the glass, but the side of the car is compromised. The right image has a slight glare that I added but the side of the car is clear.

So is this officially the calendar thread for this year or are we just practicing?
