GTA Storm Weather Pics

Got home tonight and some weather was moving through. I quickly got the GTA out of the garage for a few quick photos before it rained. Managed not to get it wet!

Wanted more photos but the camera wasn't working right.

I've been wanting some pics like this!

There are more here: https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/members/86ta355sr-albums.html

Re: GTA Storm Weather Pics

Thats a very nice looking car. I took some similar pictures once... the storm clouds + red car make it look quite cool. These clouds looked way darker in person than on camera, but it always seems to work out that way, doesnt it?

Photoshop!
A "good" picture hardly has anything to do with initial condition. Welcome to the 21st century.

Love the pictures though.

Thank you, I actually just have the overhead shop door open with the lights on inside. (In the first picture, the reflection on the side of the car gives the shop away) They turned out pretty good, I would have liked a little more light on the car, but for a quick snapshot I can't complain

No photoshopping in these pics. Actually I may have used the "auto enhance" option to try and help bring out the car a bit more, but that's it. All these were taken from the camera on my phone. I have the Galaxy S4, and the 13MP camera has impressed me so far.
