Can't wait for him to try and trade it in!

The Camaro vert was a custom job with lousy 'A' pillar header fitment.

Nice rides in that storage location you got. First time I ever saw a Camaro vert though. I did not know they were out. I don't pay much attention to Camaro's though.

Very cool Frank ! Thanks !

I believe any SLR camera can do it.. it's just a setting with your Fstops, it's called a "Shallow Depth of Field" which means the subject is in focus but everything else isn't. F4.0 - F5.0 with adequate light would probably work. doesn't matter about the lens itself.

There is something called "Tilt-Shift" that computer savvy guys can do in photoshop that creates a model/miniature effect. I'm a noob at photo editing so I just zoomed in and used the Blur tool on everything except the car.

Actually, it a combination of focal length of the lense and F stop. A shorter focal lenght lens (28MM or less) and a lower F stop number will produce greater effects.

I agree, That picture had a focal lenght of 5.7mm I think it was and F-stop was 2.9.


Exposure Time = 1/34"
F Number = F2.9
Exposure Bias Value = ±0EV
Focal Length = 5.7mm

Default Awesome Wheel Setups On This Thread!

Considering this thread is almost four years old it is still going strong. You guys have some beautiful, hot, great looking wheel setups there. Totally awesome!

Thought I’d post a couple of shots of my plain old stock N73s…



Mounted with new Michelin A/S Plus ZPs, new TPMS sensors and freshly high-speed balanced the bronze-tone on these wheels would look great on any color Vette.



They will react with devastating results to any suggestion of snugglin’ up to that old curb. You just have to be aware and careful when parallel parking with these babies. Other than that, there's no question about it, I like 'em.

Hurraahhh!

These are Cray Mantas, standard Vette sizes. I previously had chrome C5 Z06 wheels, but like the Crays a lot better and you don't see them as much as the Z06 wheels. For me personally, any wheel is great as long as it is CHROME!!!
