Help! I need some new car art!

[ClassicCarsAllDay]

I propose a new thread of quality shots of members rides on this forum.
One, cause their are some NICE cars on this site

Two, only thing I can change on my work computer is the background...so help me out with some nice artwork to look at!

So I propose..
1-4 pictures of your car(s) in a cool location/area/activity.
Brief description of the car and the location/area/activity.

Sound ok to everyone?

To start us off
1991 560 SEC. In my area, their is this cool parking garage that is six stories tall, and on top of the garage they built a 20 story skyscraper.
(taken with a cell phone)

Lets get this going!!

Henry - great idea! I'll give this some thought and post up a photo or two!




BTW...picture #2 is awesome

 

[Jelmer]

It's odd, but this car seems to go fast even when standing still. Such a sleek design

Awesome pictures! Seriously stunning! I love those shots...

btw, 1-4 pictures is just a guideline, rather than an actual rule. I'm just trying to suggest that people self-curate the best photos of their cars to post here.
I like the video too...awesome to see the cars in motion...and really MOVING!

I'll give this some thought and post up a photo or two!

Greg, I would love to see some nice shots of your ride! There are some sweet alleys around church street in downtown Vienna that might work..brick walled alley and a all-white 500E? Yes please!:grin:

Thanks Jelmer! Would love to see more pictures of your 500!

Arkady is my picture genious.

Hello Henry,

Nice thread, maybe a parallel to the Gallery, but sure nice anyway.
I'm not a photo guru, but here is a couple shot with a pocket camera in the dusk, giving special light and shadows.

Cheers

Hey guys...I'm still a relative newbie...how do I post a pic here? Do I need to have it hosted online somewhere first?

Wow..3 at once....How much better they look without number plate, daaaamn.....

Hey guys...I'm still a relative newbie...how do I post a pic here? Do I need to have it hosted online somewhere first?

Normally you have the "quick reply" window in a thread, with a "Go Advanced" button on the right. Click it, then find the button that says "Manage Attachments". This will popup a new window which will let you upload attachments to the forum. I actually prefer that, since it won't 404 if a hoster changes, goes bankrupt, etc. Feel free to PM me if you can't figure it out.

Expect a more detailed announcement on this, later on.

 

[Jelmer]

Wow..3 at once....How much better they look without number plate, daaaamn.....

Agreed, without the license plate they have a much more complete front, awesome.

What's even more awesome is the fact all three have the S-Class/Avante garge grille!

 

[ClassicCarsAllDay]

Jelmer, Karl C, 500AAM Some great shots you guys have there!

I'm always open for exception photos to use as part of the "rotating banner photos" for this site. I can either add new photos to the rotation or I can replace some of the photos that we have. It only takes a few minutes to do this.

However the photos must be relatively uncluttered, good quality and crop-able so that the subject matter can be shown in a relatively rectangular format. Also would need space to add the "500Eboard" language.....

Cheers,
Gerry

A few of my previous back grounds..

 

[Jelmer]

Surely you meant to upload these, Jono. No worries, can happen to anyone.

 

[jhodg5ck]

Quite, this is the only forum I post on (regularly) that uses this system..I suppose I'm more acclimated to the older style, ie bowse/upload and it's already attached per the norm.

Fuuuun times!

 

[Jelmer]

I meant it as a joke. You post M117 pictures, so I post M119s. That's all

 

[jhodg5ck]

ahh yes..the nuance of the printed word sails over my head once again..;-)

M117 yes, but all the 117's there..well, except my white SEC have Quad cam 117's..so I'm keeping the 32V thread going...:-D

One of my first 500E.
Taken at a local place in Reykjavik, very popular for those who love photographing cars.

 

[redred]

Great pic!

 

[kannan1024]

Thanks Jelmer on the instructions for uploading pics...now to get a few worthy shots!

 

[195910]

My favourite

 

[500AMM]

Jelmer and Arkady - please forgive me "stealing" a photo from your cars, but it really has to be posted on this thread, very tasteful IMHO.


...wow - this became my post number #900 too!

 

[195910]

+1 Arnt. That is Brochure standard !

 

[Jelmer]

With a bit of luck, we'll shoot some new pics in a few weeks :-D

 

[diaconovic]

Hard to ignore these curves

 

[500ESpain]

Old ones but I hope you like them

 

[gsxr]

This wasn't taken as an "art" shot but it wasn't too bad...

 

[szvook]

Here are some action shots from Willow Springs and Auto Club Speedway in Fontana , I'll add a few more once I get home.

Great shots, Steve! On the first image it's several cars trying to keep up, but on the next you're alone. You smoked them all, didn't you?

 

[500AMM]

This shots are one of my favorites. It is a '92 in Diamond Blue metallic (code 355).


Enjoy!

 

[036]

Unofficially, yeah...yeah, that's it, I blew by all of them. Officially, that picture is of me on track before the faster group was let lose behind and I just happen to get on the track first.

 

[ClassicCarsAllDay]

Beautiful pics!!
