[ALEXAKOS]

Real nice Lou!!! Don't you just love how your kids are proud of your delorean?

[Lou and "Boo"]

Thanks Alex! They think its really cool. Did you notice my "anti-Third brake light"?

My pal Roy tried to post a reply complimenting my pictures but the mods block everything he writes. They told him his messages are being screened but even a complimentary one was blocked.
The rules around here apply to some more than others.

[ALEXAKOS]

Thanks Alex! They think its really cool. Did you notice my "anti-Third brake light"?.

I did see the orange strip on the lower rear fascia. I thought if looks very bright for a muffler reflection.

I guess Roy's remarks were not considered "politically correct":p

[Domi]

Thanks Alex! They think its really cool. Did you notice my "anti-Third brake light"?


What's this exactly? A third brake light?
What does "anti" mean in this case?

[Lou and "Boo"]

My buddy Roy only posted "nice picture" and "beautiful kids" in reply to my pictures In This listing. He was told he was breaking some rule about not being mean to other members because he called out accipiter on his idiocy, and now he tried to post. Compliment and is blocked.
I mean really?!? Be nice to other members, accipiter being "himself" is mostly
Why I took a break from this site. I see SO many moderators being mean and allowing their friends to be mean to members and get away with it. Poor Tamir, his site has really went downhill with his choice of moderators.
Roy is just being treated unfairly.

Anyway, the ovals light up red with the parking lights but do not brighten with the brake lights, hence the anti-third brake light name.

I know Instagram etc. has been done to death, but I just downloaded a 'vintage 8mm camera' app and was very impressed with the results. It also lets you record video.

That's very nice composition and lighting.

Diffuse lighting, as seen in this photo, and sunrise/sunset conditions bring out the best in this car. I like how the stainless panels and the fascia paint are almost indistinguishable from each other in this shot.

Thanks for posting.

[DMCMW Dave]

And they say you shouldn't photograph cars on grass or vegetation. This came from a professional photographer.

I suspect that mainstream cars, being painted in color, have a high likelihood of "not going" with green. Where it is a very strong contrast to the non-color of the stainless. The stainless also has relatively low reflectivity so you don't get odd background patterns showing up in it.

haha! that's awesome! It's like you read my mind! I was actually trying to do that exact type of edit last night but it was late, and I suck at photoshop so i gave up, played slightly with the contrast and brightness and then posted the pics.

thanks! :thumbup:

[Timebender]

Sure! It's a pretty simple touch up actually. Duplicate the original layer, add a mask around the car (windows, under it, etc.) then adjust the curves for exposure, and the color to bring out the silver in the stainless, and then bring the markers back to color (as they'll now be desaturated) by using the brush tool set to black on the mask where those areas are. For the lens flare, just add a black layer set to "screen", add the lens flare in roughly the area you want it, then move it onto the headlights.

I have a different take on this (not that you asked, please excuse my butting in).

My car sits in the garage (unfortunately) most of the time. And every time I walk in there, I see the back. It never grows old of course, but rarely do I see the front. So I’ve come to like the front view better. Seems like only on days I back it out and leave it on the driveway, so to do work in the garage, do I actually see the front of the car. Or at a show/street-meet, etc.

We did a photo shoot at work, Los Alamos National Laboratory (no, they won't give me any of the "good stuff"). The deputy director of the high magnetic field laboratory contacted me about a public outreach thing the labs are doing for BTTF day and wanted me to bring my car by since they have a 1.21GW generator. It's gigantic. The idea is you use the power grid to spin up a flywheel - a really BIG one. The bearings that support the shaft for this flywheel weigh 60 tons each. Then you dump all that stored rotational energy back into the motor (now a generator) over a short duration, like 1 second, and into an electromagnet. This is how they reached a world record of a 100 Tesla field in a magnet that didn't rapidly disassemble.

If that's what it really takes to generate 1.21GW of power then it helps explain 1955 Doc Brown's reaction.

I've been looking at it for several months now, but I woke up that day and said to hell with it, if there was ever a day to buy a DeLorean, that would be the day.

Plus, I was able to make jokes that I bought it off Doc because he liked the future so much and didn't need the car anymore. Ha!

Found this one someone else took of my car at the local A&W cruise night. I like seeing how others photograph my own car as they often choose angles I normally don't. And have always liked pictures of the car taken with the doors closed.

What brand/size tires are you running? The sidewall on the fronts looks taller than normal, but it could just be the angle of the photos. The tread on those looks pretty meaty too

His car is a throwback. VIN# 7000 has a gas flap hood, fender antenna and a 350 Chevy engine?.?. :confused0:

[Timebender]

Yeah me too and I own it. As far as the tires, it's what the last owner had installed (owner #2), me being the third owner. The original owner had the conversion and lowering done, and swapped out the hood as far as I know, as he did a lot of car shows with it. Oh, and added the spoiler as well. Still, it looks cool and is as fast as it looks. The funny thing is I forget how low it is and am surprised most times when a small economy car parks next to and it overshadows mine. 37982

It came with these when I bought it, which are 195/60 14's. What size should they be, aside from 14"?

Hopefully your louvres didn't get any damage during transportation- I've heard you should always load your DeLorean nose first to prevent any wind catching and tearing them up.

I've heard the same thing... he tied down the louvres for that reason. Looked good when we got to the shop.

[dtavres]

Congratulation on your purchase :)

Thank you... 20 years wanting, 5 years looking. It paid off. Got a great deal. 15,980 miles, had the car cover on, parked in the garage since 1988 (based on the last speeding ticket that included a fine for expired 1987 tags.)

Any specific threads here I should read as a newbie owner? (As with many DeLorean fans, I've studied the cars for years, so I'm not a newbie to the cars - just newbie to being an owner.)

Interesting. I personally like it except when encountering speed bumps, dips in parking lots, and when needing to use ramps.

[sdg3205]

They seem to be lower, yes. I have installed both eibach and martins on stock girlings and eibach on spax shocks. Just my experience.

In the picture above I have martins fronts, dmch eibach rears on stock girlings and love it. Just want someone to develop a rear sway bar.

Narrow indeed.. All four tires were flat and disintegrating. The car has been in the garage since 1988.

Very nice!

[Jonathan]

Many of you have likely seen how popular adult colouring books are getting recently. They promote relaxation and reducing stress apparently. The creative part of colouring, drawing, doodling, etc. I'd assume helps with that.

It gave me an idea for making a couple Christmas gifts/stocking stuffers for family. It's really easy and you can play around with the different settings or scales to get the contrast just right for any photo you do. I tried it out on a DeLorean club get together photo from earlier this year. What do you think?

38372

Attaching it to the forum here is killing the resolution. It is a fair bit larger and better detail prior to uploading, but you get the idea.

[Timebender]

Neat idea. As a Photoshop guys who's been doing it for a long time, I'd suggest taking the photo, make it black and white, use the find outlines filter, then adjust the levels so it's purely black and white line art. Or once you've done the find outlines filter, bring it into Illustrator and have it trace the image so it's vector lines.
And if you have any drawing skills and have either a tablet or are good enough with a mouse, instead of doing the find outlines, bring it into Illustrator and do your own lines (yes, I just got the reference and being DeLoreans...), with the the pen tool.
Lots you can do with a little effort.

One more suggestion. If you ever look at most coloring books, they have a main subject (or a few subjects), background, and simple composition. Maybe some nice shots of DeLorean with a building, or trees, on a beach, or? The key is a clean composition.

[Jonathan]

Good advice, thanks for that. Admittedly, I'm a photoshop amateur, big time. I was using a sort of online "recipe" to make these colouring sheets. I can definitely see how making it all black and white would help and for sure the part where you mention keeping the image simple. Either by picking a photo with very little in the background or getting the software to remove it.

I did a bunch that weren't with cars and a few of them turned out nice when they had a lot of symmetrical lines or shapes in them, like window frames or the edges of building or other things. I have a little more time to do some trial and error on the method before Christmas and I think some practice will help find out what works best.

[Timebender]

Look forward to seeing your results!
