I know it's dirty, however, I figured I would post anyway. My younger brother, who was visiting from Atlanta, decided to test out some of his photography skills while I was driving down the unforgiving streets of my neighborhood of downtown Chicago.

Now that the winter is rapidly approaching, the stock suspension is back on and the stock wheels will be back on soon.

 

Those are some nice quality pics.

 

Thanks a lot. All the credit to my younger bro.

 

And wow, I didn't even notice that transition coloring thing on the second picture until now! Give your younger bro some props, that's sick!

 

That's pretty cool. mind sharing how you did it? man, that other pic shows your car with no driver with a taxi coming towards you!

The photo in my signature is actually half black and white. The car has no color other than the brake lights which I edited in later. The background of course is full color. Notice the windows are now grey/clear instead of the stock funky blue. Signal lights are also clear/smoke instead of orange. Blacks are also blacker.

 

I have no idea how he did it. Photography is a hobby of his. In fact, he has taken photo's for several car magazines. I really wish the car was clean. Should have got a wash. He wanted to take some using the street lights as a backdrop. I will ask him how he did it.

If anyone is in Atlanta for a car event, let me know. I will pass it on to my brother, if he isn't aware of it already.

 

the high polished thing! dam, I have seen that in design class. chicago ftw!

 

I guess the silver ball is famous. It is in Millinieum Park right off Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago.

One more.

 

The "proper name" is Cloud Gate by Anish Kapoor.

The city calls it "The Bean". lol

Welcome to the best city in the U.S.!

 

lol if by "the best city" you mean the city with the most panhandlers and dirty bums, then yes, chicago is the best city in the U.S.!

 

Thanks for the info. Though I have only lived in Chicago for a lil over a year, I had yet to find out the correct name. I always referred to the Cloud Gate, aka "The Bean" as the silver ball...lol

Ppreciate the correction..
