In the midst of doing this car and this flood, I got a little present from AG

That turned out GREAT!!!

From previous expierence I've found landing a contact in HR for a large company reaps HUGH dividends. Ppl tend to listen to what the HR Director advises

 

[TS656577]

thanks! and she took a few cards to hand out to people at work.

And there you go...

What did you clean the pipes with? I think there is room for improvement on that.

 

[TS656577]

Well I used #0000 steel wool on it. and that is actually the texture of the piping. I don't like the look of it, especially for a pricier car. I attached a screenshot of the full size original (well as big as the upload will let me)

 

[Flash Gordon]

I hate crappy textured pipes. I'm sure that wasn't a big deal to her anyway

 

[TS656577]

haha. nah. She loved the rest of it. especially since she's on the go a lot and had a lot of food particles beside the seats and all that jazz.

Cookie crumbs between the seats is a national epidemic. I usually set Trouble lose in the interior before I get started and let her get her munch on :hungry:

Great turn around! rops:

What camera and lens in your avatar?

 

[TS656577]

its a canon t1i with the 17-40 f/4L lens. I love the 17-40. I'd like a t2i because of the hd in 30fps and a plug in mic jack but a plug in mic jack can be added to the t1i and looks good if done right. just not sure how i feel about cutting up my camera...

That sure is some fancy terminology you got going on there. You must be very smart

Looks great nicely done

 

[TS656577]

Thank ya kindly. it never gets old seeing a car have a turn around.

 

[slickooz]

Damn an L lens?!?!? You have your t1i gripped? I find my T2i to be a bit small and found that adding a grip help balance my camera out. I shoot mostly with my 15-85mm and switch to my 50mm 1.4 for portraits.

Thinking about upgrading to 7d.
Photography is a sickness!

 

[TS656577]

that it is. And i agree with you on the grip. i like the feeling of the camera more in my hands with a grip.
