Well, today is the big day! We shall see how the day develops, but hopefully the weather will show some mercy and compassion for our Fairlady's. And if she does, hopefully everyone can make it to the meet today:tup:!

i know there is a place on 2nd and old 83, there is a couple of them actually. Don't remember the names. They are immediately to the west of the road. North side of 83.

Some cool pics! This is from the weekend's rain...

very nice. good macro...and thanks, i realized, I forgot my good camera at home.. =/

I took the GTI to get an alignment about a week ago. If you're coming from Mission on old 83 its the street right before bicentenial and you take a left there. Itll be the second shop on your left. Great job I think they charged me 60 and they DO have an in ground lift for your drop. They do all alignments for the Barret Auto Gallery so they usually work on higher end cars.

Edit: D&D alignment is the place. On 20th street

Lol, the iPhone's camera is pretty good eh?

:vuvuzela:

I will let El Jale (Arnold) post his pictures.. They will be much better quality! :tiphat:

nice meeting everyone :tup:

Arnold where them pics at!?

There's a silver 370Z, with a Utpa permit.. At wings and rings across the mall, right now... Can anyone claim it?

Go inside like a BAUSE and ask for the owner. :ughdance:

Anyone wanna host the pics? There's only a few really nice ones but the files are huge.

I can host them... I'll PM you...

I can host as well if he can't. Let me know...damn weather...I just washed my car last night, after this past week, it was FILTHY. Commuting from harlingen are everyday messing me up.

Jorge pics have been sent... I'll be sure to take an extra battery and hope to have more lenses too... Need to get together with USMCram and do a shoot with daylight.

agreed.

I received them. Just need some time to post them.

sorry they got posted late. Busy weekend. Nice pics by ElJale.

ElJale, did you take these as jpg or did you get the raw or tiff files for them as well?

I wish I could have found my tripod...I think if I get a light diffuser, this would have come out awesome. I could have left the shutter open a bit longer and captured some really good ambient and still had the flash shine on the car.

jpeg... But I did some editing on photoshop so came up with some crazy numbers. I like that pic you posted... I'm looking in to a wide angle lens.. Get more of the background and longer shots of the car.

oooh, nice call. What kinda camera you using?

I noticed the photoshop. I wish my camera could do multiple exposure shots.

I threw that pic into photoshop a bit ago and got some really nice effects. I wish I had saved a raw file though. If you're using CS5, you'll get some really nice effects with the HDR toning. I was able to make the rims pop a little better. I'm trying to figure out how to get ride of the blur though. It's not too bad where the flash hit the car, but the rest of it, you can see the blur pretty bad.

I've been hacking up pics on PS since the late 90s... LOL...

lmao, same here. Here's a couple I've been playing with.

The lighting is what caused all the green. -_^

The license plate reeks havoc on light adjustments.. Either on your camera or software... I just take it off for pics.

This one looks friggin awesome!!

thanks. I never throught about taking off the license plate. I'm either gonna do that or cover it up. Print out a license plate sized paper that says Z...lol

Are meets on tuesdays going to be a weekly thing or is the next meet TBD?

Well we want it to be a weekly thing. A meet up at sonic every Tuesday.. A casual thing, like drive by or stay to chill with whoever shows up. I myself cannot go today, but that doesn't mean others can't or don't want to go... We want to make it a place to say hi and catch up with other Z's.

Finally got rid of the nasty yellow rear plate lights. Upgraded to white led's.

i'll probably be stopping by today.

:tup:

that's hot....how'd you do it?
