Spring (Not in my Driveway!) SSEi Pics!!

Post by 00Beast »

The past couple days have been pretty nice (sans the rain we had this morning) and since I'm moving home for the summer on Wed. evening, I figured now would be the best time to get some pics out in the woods here @ SJU. My campus sits on 2000+ acres of woodlands, so there are plenty of nice picture spots, lol. The building in the second half is our Science Center.

All pics were taken w/ my A200 (on auto :roll: ). If there are any repeated pics, I blame my PB, as something is goofy and it's hard to tell similar pics apart sometimes.

Enjoy!!!

Nice. Digging the Sig pic too.

Does your camera have a program function? Where you can tweak the shutter speed, etc etc?

No, they're recessed vs yours which are on the front of the bumper.

In the first few pics, the rims look really dirty. Must be the sun playing tricks.

Boo for low res pics!

Idk, they might be dirty. It rained this morning and all I did was go through the drive-through wash yesterday.

They were high-res but my photobucket hates me (or my school interwebs hate PB) so I sized them down using that FastStone program you recommended to 640x480, and then it let them upload...

I'll get some more nice pics once I get it polished up soon-ish.

Looks Great. Digging the tinted tails. Not too dark, but just right. Also the cleared corners blend right in with the color.

Every time I look at your car all I can think of is how cool it would look with an ocean backdrop. That color against a turquoise-green water with an afternoon sun I think would be absolutely killer. Any place like that near you? I know the ocean is long way off but in the land of a thousand lakes is there something similar?

Still lookin pretty darn good btw!

Looks good, I remember when they stopped making Bonnevilles my Dad was looking at buying one of the last Bonnes on the lot and it was that color but he never went through with it. I can't wait for the leave and scenery to start growing in, provides such a better background

There are plenty of lakes around. Maybe I'll try and find something tomorrow or Wednesday.

agree with this but wait a little, those grey color trees in the back ground are killing the shot, if the lakes trees are also like this. id wait.

otherwise, good to see it Not on your property :)

Yeah, it's been too cold, the trees are barely starting to bud. Supposed to be warm this week, we'll see what happens.
