My newest purchase. A 1951 studebaker pickup. Its got a 350 chevy with a turbo 350 trans., nova front clip, ford 9" rear, I have no idea what gearing. It was going to be a drag radial/ 6.50 car, but with my current employment situation its probably gonna stay a hot rod for a while. I may press it into service as a tow truck for my dragster(see sig) when I get the dragster running again. Anyway I took it out for a test drive/miniphooto-shoot. Enjoy the pics. Any comments on the picture taking are appreciated, I'm still learning.

It looks great from 25 feet but the int. is MIA just a seat and a steering wheel and pedals lol. The engine is leaking from every possible seal (not a good sign) I managed to stop the oil leak from the valve covers because they were loosely bolted on. The oilpan I havent checked yet but I've got a feeling its loose to. I may wind up putting that turboed 307 in it just because this engine might be junk. But hey it was a daily driver for a guy in wisconsin I didnt expect it to be perfect for the pice I payed. But anyhoo this is the photoforum I was wondering if my pics could be improved at all, they are straight out of the camera without any chopin.

really cool truck, you say the interior is bare, that (I think) would make a neat picture if you had it like super crisp or something. The pictures you posted are really nice, I would say that you might need to play a little more with different lighting situations based on the last picture being kinda dark and blending into the shadows, but it could just be my monitor (old-ass CRT screen at work). I'll look again when I get home (Hi-def widescreen) and tell you more. Rep.
EDIT: By the way, what kind of camera/lens set-up are you using? (for those that want to know) Last edited by CanTheWhales : 10-11-2007 at 10:28 AM. Reason: question |

Thanks for the rep, hopefully its returned if not let me know.
The camera is a panasonic DMC-FZ7 with a Leica DC Vario-Elmarit 1:2.8-3.3/6-72 lens. 35mm version would be a 36-432 lens according to the book. oh and on a side note if anybody know where I can get a polarizing filter locally for that camera let me know please! The pics were taken in amberlea park in dunedin. |
