Post your pics of your non-Bonneville, and If you have video footage, we want to see it. Videos must be hosted on external web space and hotlinked to PontiacBonnevilleClub.com. Also discuss mechanical problems regarding your non-bonneville (this is not another lounge, but posts don't count, random car vids not of your cars should be in the lounge)

I have always wanted one....well first it was a black 95 Impala SS, then I saw the 740iL and said screw the Impala SS I will have a 740iL one of these days. And well I have one now and absolutely love it (it will never leave my hands) I said that about the GXP too but it did :sad5:

Killer pics! Care to post the untouched pictures? Just wondering if the blur is real.

Are you serious dude? You can just ask me. There is 1 picture that I added a little more blur to me and yes I will post the originals one sec.

Come on Haro I know what I am doing ;) Most the pictures were shot at F18 and yes my Kit lens is super dirty(I cant clean it well its not worth cleeaning a $250 kit lens.) It doesn't help I used my own camera to shoot pictures while getting dusted by Helo's in Iraq when I was Marine Corps.

I have a few but really shooting RAW FTW. And the composition has to be there when I take the picture so I say its both sides of the spectrum.

Really what I did in PS if anyone wants to know how I got it to look like that:

1st picture- Dropped it a stop(or2 maybe), Saturation, Contrast, Unsharp masked,
2nd picture- Contrast Brightness, some Motion blur in the fields and road(which if you look closely you can tell), Channel Mixer, Unsharp mask
3rd picture- Same as above except there was no motion blur.
