Decided to take the SVT downtown Sunday for a photoshoot because I have been wanting to take some decent black and whites...........I think these are some of the best pics I have taken.

hahahaha, yeah....he built the WHOLE THING!!!!
My dad is an Ironworker, the majority of what you see he built and a lot of what you dont see he worked on too....with some help of course! He's supposed to be the foreman, but he usually works with the rest of them......hes got to set the pace so nobody is slacking off!

The building is the new federal building in downtown Cleveland. It is pretty cool actually. The sides you dont see are squared off, and the side in the pics is rounded....looks really cool up close!

BlackE1, i know the clips are a little loose for the mirko. I wasnt sure what length to get, guess I got ones that were just a hair too long. Good thing Summit Racing is only 45 minutes away :)

thanks for all the compliments!

oh and the camera, its nothing fancy. Nikon Coolpix (yes I said COOL) 4100. I actually got my mom a gift certificate for a new digital camera a couple weeks ago for her birthday. As luck would have it she went and picked it up while i was out taking pics with the old camera :(
 
Is the 5th picture(big bridge) the "Big Four" bridge in Sidney,Ohio?? I used to live there and it looks alot like it.
Pics look nice BTW

also my favorite,but... Im really into media and all that jazz my eye instantly found the fact that your front wheels are turned and it bothers me for some reason. Don't mean to be a hater, i think the pics are great:cool:, that just bothers me.:(

I think the wheels being slightly turned (not TURNED) gives it a sense of size, placement (relative to the horizon) and angle.

its all opinion and taste. In the case of it being turned i would have turned it even more, but its still opinion so who cares it looks great.

You got it! I mean take a look at the rear wheel, cant even tell its there. If the front wheels were straight you wouldnt even be able to see those either.

and 2kSVT, All the pics were taken somewhere off of W. 25st in downtown Cleveland. Im not too sure what bridge that is

accident with the garage door. My button got stuck on my remote in the car. Well the way the car was when it was going back down the lasers didnt notice and the door kept coming down........lucky only thing that happened was a bent antenna

wow, ill say you def. got lucky on there, only reason i noticed is cause i had taken some what i would consider nice photos but i left my antenna up...but it was FAR more noticeable than yours, i just have a habit of looking now...awesome shots though, i love T Reds
 
I like the pictures mucho... I so gotta go do some B & W shots.....

Not a fan of the Rims...but otherwise everything looks great....

I waited around at the house for a little while before I left, hoping you would be back by the time I got down there. We need to hit those back roads down to mid-ohio again sometime too, maybe without the dude on the vulcan slowing us down!!!
