me and my buddy Mike, who owns a '96 SS, had a REAL photographer named John Potts take some snaps of our cars at a local Church and an automotive Foundry. i think he did an outstanding job

 

He did an awesome job indeed! Are those the full-res versions?

Good to see you got some clear markers as well, your car is really looking sweet bro.

 

Wow! glad I could be the first one to say that does rock! Man he is awesome and his photoshop skills are amazing! Thats so awesome you have those great pics of your cars. Looks like something for a Camaro promotion.

Also, I love the way you took the pinstripes off on the side looks cleaner.

 

i dont know if these are the originals or not, and he used a lil' program to soften up the pictures.


and Shawn, i'm glad i took them off too, gotta agree it DOES look cleaner

 

what kind of camera did he use do you know?

 

no clue...some 6.2 megapixel camera, that's all i know

 

shots like that are very easy to do if you have a camera that you can manually set, none of those crappy auto ones. I do a ton of car photography (and photography in general) and having a nice camera is such a change from an auto one.

I'm old school and use film too

Very nice cars!!

 

looks too good man...getitng back on the boards and seeing all these sick cars again and seeing all the new sick cars around here gives me motivation to finish my motor and get the car running!

 

awsome pics man. As soon as I get the finishing touches down on my ride, i will be doing the same thing.

 

yeah that doesnt even look like the USA for some reason...

 

I dont think your car knows how to take a bad picture

 

looks very sweet. removing the pinstripe made a difference, its always looked good now it looks even better

your one lucky dude

you WILL get in a magazine

 

those pics are awsome but there was no such thing as a 96 ss. other than that those are good

 

yeah there was 2410 of them built in 1996

 

wow, very nice. Esp. the blue and red next to each other. Great colors.

Both cars are WAAAYYY too high. You guys going 4wheelin or something?

 

Nice pics, but it looks like it rides higher in the front than the back? Remove the windsheild decal and get some real power under the hood to back up those looks and you'll have a sweet car!

 

lol i would have to agree with that... the pictures are awesome man great quality. how much did it cost you to have those center cap decals made? im wanting to get some made for mine.

 

i can only hope
----------
some local catholic school
----------

sure there is

super chevy did a side by side of the '96 SS and the '96 Cobra


thanks though
----------

it is the stock suspension so sure it doesn't ride really low, but also take into consideration the camera angle. he had it on a tripod about a foot and a half off the ground


i'm ordering Eibach lowering springs this summer though
----------

once again, it's the camera angle i think. and i like the windshield banner, it goes with the red center caps and red bowtie on the grill

i have a L98 block i'm rebuilding this summer and it will get dropped into the vert

 

thanks man. those cost $5 and i have 3 extra vinyls in case some of them tear away or anything. they say Z28. they used to be C4 emblems but i had them removed

 

man, awesome vert! very

 

i know a bunch of people give you flack about that windshield banner but i kinda like it. and i like what your doing with the red accents to me it helps the apperance of the car alot... but your car is gourgous regardless, but your doing a great job on it man keep up the good work.

 

haha it's kinda funny really...people tell me to remove the banner and get different color center caps like black or something, but then they tell me to do the red turn signal mod on my tail lights...i dont get it

meh...

 

Cars look great, buildings look nice, but not together. And the vertical wrought iron railings coming up out of the windshield in the first photo is pure distraction. Who took these pictures? Sorry, guess it's my turn to be Simon Cowell.

 

a photographer who is trying to get his name out in our area. he did it for free when he could had charged me a good amount of money for a shoot. it's ok to not like the pictures, not everyone has to agree, it's ok to be different

 

ahhh...i c..a guy goes and picks up a digital camera and thinks he's a professional... i can only say this bcuz my father IS a photographer and has been for about 40 years... he has a nikon d70 that's a 6-6.2 mp camera (might of been what that guy used) and it's his joke camera... just bcuz u pick up a camera and editing prog doesn't make u professional

idunno...the scenery just doesn't seem to match up with the cars
the cars look great tho....they kick a$$

 

I must say your cars color sets everything off in those pictures. Theres just something about that blue. It looks great.

 

hey, i dont think it's really necesary to bash on the photographer...he did NOT just pick up a camera and be like "hey i think i'm gonna be a pro at this..." he has been taking pictures for a VERY long time. the spot we took pics at wasn't our first pick, there was another place we wanted to go to but it was closed so that wasn't his fault.

the guy has been taking photographs for a long time, and i can get more pictures that he's taken to prove it to you if you guys really are going to dog him like this...i think it's kind of stupid. i posted these pictures b/c i was excited to have an extremely talented individual take photos of my car. the bashing is unecessary

 

us guys wasn't bashing him..I WAS...sorry if it offends u....u sed u didn't pay for it. don't know y it would offend u...next time if u do pay him i would hold out for your first choice in location...and if u want good "in your hand" pictures, tell him to get a medium format camera with some good filters, nothing comes close to the resolution...

hey man...it's the cars that matter anyway here and they r fricken sweet...i guess i DO take personal offence to digital being thought of as "pro" but o well

 

yea i think it's kinda rediculous to bash a guy for his awesome pictures. it offends ME b/c he's a fellow club member.

the guy uses a Canan 300D rebel, it's a pretty good camera, and i'm totally psyched at how they turned out along with countless of other people. i just can't figure out why you gotta bash the guy for his good work. John is a very talented photographer...

 

the pics look good and the cars look great!
