PICTURES NEEDED FOR THE 2010 All Oldsmobile Calendar
PICTURES NEEDED FOR THE 2010 All Oldsmobile Calendar!
Its that time again Oldsmobile fans!!!!! I need your car pictures! I need to widen the picture pool to include all that want to submit a picture,So please post them up or Email them over to: BIGJP455@msn.com All submissions will be added to my calendar folder, I will then narrow them down to a more resonable number then randomly draw 12 race Oldsmobiles and 12 street type Oldsmobiles,There will be 2 Oldsmobiles per month and if the right picture comes thru Iam looking for a front cover picture and some snow bound Oldsmobiles for the winter months! Good luck and send them over! How to Photograph Your Classic Car Achieving good photographs of your classic car is not difficult. The difference between good pictures and bland pictures is knowing a few simple tricks, and taking the time to do it well. WASH THE CAR! A clean car looks far better in a picture than a dirty one. Take the time to clean and dry the car, to clean the windows, & dress the tires. Make sure that there aren't any water spots. This is the single most important thing that you can do. CHOOSE YOUR SETTING Where you photograph your car will make a big impact on how the pictures look. Try to find a setting that will make your car stand out. For example, a red car in a sea of green grass will jump out at you, whereas a white car against a light colored stone wall will get lost. A dramatic setting will make your car look great, and will make for a dramatic photo. ELIMINATE DISTRACTIONS When shooting the car, look for things in the frame that are distracting you from the car. Is there a telephone pole growing out of the roof? Is there an object in the background that draws your eye away from the subject? Patrol the area you are shooting for debris, such as trash, leaves, or sticks. UNCONVENTIONAL ANGLES Avoid the temptation to just take the picture from eye level. Try shooting up at a low angle, which will exaggerate the proportions a bit, and make your car seem more impressive. Another trick is to use a step ladder and shoot down on the car, giving a sort of bird's eye view. WIDE ANGLE LENSES The use of a wide angle lens, or by zooming your camera's built in lens to its widest setting, is a great aid to car photography. By using a wide angle and getting in close, you get a different perspective. The area closest to the camera will seem larger than normal, while the area furthest from the camera will seem farther away. By using this technique when shooting automobiles, it can really make the car jump out of the frame. A wide angle lens is also particularly useful at concours events and car shows, where there is not a lot of room to maneuver, and you want to get close to the car to eliminate people and other distractions. POLARIZER If your camera allows the use of filters, buy a polarizer. A polarizer is quite simply one of the most indispensable tools any photographer can have. A polarizer eliminates glare and reflections, increases color saturation, and can improve contrast. Your car, with all its chrome, glass, and shiny paint, is like a magnet for reflections. By using a polarizer, you can control the reflections, either eliminating them completely, or using them to your artistic advantage. WHEN TO SHOOT While you can certainly shoot your car at any time, the best light is typically found just after sunrise, or just before sunset. As the sun "travels across the sky" the lighting direction changes relative to your subject. Not only does the lighting direction change throughout the day, but the color changes as well, from cool before sunrise to warm just after sunrise to neutral at midday to warmer near sunset to cooler after sunset. Night shots of cars can also be very dramatic, particularly if you have the vehicle in a setting with interesting lighting (neon lights, gas station, lighted signs, etc.) LIGHTS ON? When you're shooting, try turning the parking lights on, maybe even the headlights if it's just before dusk, just to add a little drama to your photos. The most important rule to remember when doing photography is that there are no rules! The best pictures are typically a result of experimenting. Film is relatively cheap (and digital photography is practically free!), so shoot lots of pictures to get a few really good photos. Heres a very good example of a street type picture..................  GIRLS IN THE PICTURE ARE A PLUS!!!!!!!  And heres a good race car one......  |

That would be an awesome picture if it didn't have the glare from the sun.

Here are some of my favorites. I really like the last one but the blanket in the background kinda ruins it. Could you photo shop it out?
I also might have some good action shots in two weeks. Goodguys is comming to TX and I will be running the Street Challange autocross  .

Went "shooting" today. My daughter took most of these. The camera was set to 7 mp, but the file size is 72 dpi. They look a little grainy blown up. I'm not a camera wizard, so I don't know if there was a better setting to use.
Help me narrow it down! I will email the full size ones to Jerr. #1 (my favorite)  #2  #3  #4  #5  #6  #7  #8  #9  #10  #11  |

If they are grainy, make sure you have the ISO set to 50 or 100 at most. Also set compression to low or medium. Not sure if this works on your camera though since they are alll different...

How do you like mine? Taken in downtown Munich, at night. I guess I am the only Olds in your Calender with a German license plate.

Also note how he is calmly checking the rearview mirror, watching out for the cop he just raced away from! I love creative photography! I sure miss Germany also.

Hi Rob,
where have you been in Germany? Let me know if I can get you something, just to remember Germany. This picture was taken by my semi professional friend with a Canon 200mm 1,8 Lens at almost night time. I would be thrilled to be part in the Olds calendar.

Just like how BigJerr is publishing a calendar, I think it would be cool if someone did a small book of "junkyard jewels" - just pictures and captions... I have seen SO MANY cool-looking (yet sad) pictures of abandoned / junked cars on this forum... There is just something about them - nostalgic, emotional, and lots of mystery... "Old Cars Weekly" had one per issue called "weathered wheels" but they were just newspaper grade - I enjoyed them though.

I was there for just a few days way back in 2005 on a big Europe tour. We did the cruise down the Rhine River, visited Rothenberg, toured the Romantic Rd, and the Castle of Neuschwanstein. We ate at a small cafe and had the best wienerschnitzel (sp) and beer! Quote:
 Thanks! A keg of their great beer would be great - or maybe a coo-coo clock that actually keeps accurate time... (Just kidding of course...) My coworker visits Friesing often and he brings me back chocolate. I have been trying to convince my manager to send me there, but no luck. I see myself in Europe in the next couple of years as I want to take the Glacier Express in Switzerland. Germany and Paris are on the Agenda too. I will holler at ya if I will be in your area - a cruise in the Olds along the German backstreets would be a real treat!
