It's either a ferret in his trousers, or he's just happy to see you.Quote:

Junk yards are the classic source. The problem is that some parts don't age well unless packed in grease or something. I'm guessing somebody in this family is a serious gearhead, because otherwise they'd have passed the point of diminishing returns for this car. Still, quite an epic sighting!Quote:

This gets me thinking. It's sort of stupid how car ads these days often don't include a person/spokesperson in them for fear of alienating some demographic.

I mean, plenty of ads include families and such, but it's really rare to see an ad that just has an attractive, well-dressed person getting into a car and just looking classy.
What cracks me up is the tricks they play. I was watching this one SUV ad a while back that got played a lot duing last year's NBA playoffs. A cute but not smoking 30 year old woman was doing stuff in this SUV, and something seemed off to me. Then I noticed that compared to a single external metric she must have been really small--like 4'10" small. And it clicked: they used a tiny actress to make their big SUV look MASSIVE. These tricks are in just about everything, including all Tom Cruise movies (it won't do for the sex symbol to be dwarfed by every woman on the set.)
If they got Jon Hamm in a grey suit to do the same thing and get into a decent "luxury" car like that other ad you posted, plenty of dudes across the country would line up for said car.

Cool pics bro
Dunno why they don't do it. Given the money involved, I'm sure Madison Avernue has done market research suggesting that it ain't the best route.

Chose to block out her full name - just didn't seem necessary for it to be there. ;)
Wow. I didn't know Nazism was a fear of American conservative Christians in the 1970s. :bulb:Quote:

Looks way prettier (and more impressive) at night, FWIW.
Have I told you lately that I love you? :)
That is so fucking trippy.
I agree, Cain.
Even though Being will find tilt-shift cliche....

This 3rd one seems more tilt-shift than the other two. Much more blurring around the edges. Therefore much more miniaturisation effect.
With the first two things just seem to be very crisp. Very sharp.
All 3 are quite fabulous though. :up:
Thanks Tim, only the last one is Tilt Shift. It was also an assemblage of 4 images, and I missed a major seem. LOL.
I have to redo it better.
I am floored by the sharpness of the first one. I think it's the best image I have taken, ever.
I'mma gonna print it big and hang it in my shop. :)
I prefer the daylight one because you can see the curve of the earth and the great lake on the horizon.
Yes, you are an artistic genius, Bitter.
:)
You know, that 3rd one looks so... "sharp" (or something) that it looks like CGI or something - seriously, it doesn't look quite real. Maybe it's the contrast between the sharp and the blurred, but you should put it in your portfolio and claim to be a CGI master.Quote:

I like the pictures :), but the last one seems to have a very sharp line between the sharp and the blurred parts, and on the right it doesn't connect right!
Yeh I think that's the seam he said he missed.
I'm sure it is, Bukaroo.
That one, incidentally, Rettib, is Life (the game).
Up next, Parcheesi? Or Mousetrap?
That is the purpose of tilt-shift. Somebody (Ziggy?) posted a few extreme ones back a few pages.Quote:
