poster of my Z

I took some new pictures of my Z this weekend. I want to go to Kinkos to have a poster made of my Z. Which one do you guys think would be best for a poster? Kinkos will be kinda pricey so I want to choose a good shot. Let me know what you think.

Thanks guys. Ugly tail lights? I actually like the early ones (like I have) so much that I put the later (87-89) front end on my car. I like the later front ends with the earlier tails. Everyone's different. Don't worry my Z isn't offended. lol Soon the rear will be lower as I am putting in coil overs soon.

I might agree except the background isn't to my liking. A garage wall isn't very picturesque.

But the focus IS on the car .. and a car in a garage?? May not be pituresque .. but cars and garages go together.

These get my "votes" as best shots for a poster ..





I can tell you this .. you know your Z ... how to get the best shot of her ..

bush or tree over the hood

my favorite so far

needs more Z in the shot

I like this one .. but needs more Z in the shot

Kinda dark? And the bush

This is nice .. kinda dark, but maybe it' my monitor settings?

Again .. nice,but needs more Z in the shot

This is awesome, would have been my 1st choice except for the bush over the rear hatch

Another nice one .. except for the bush in the back

Again .. just what I think? All are great shots, but posting to explain why I picked the one's I did ..

I like the jet stream effect .. taken at sunrise? I would have liked to see that same shot, but with the lights "on".

The "glare" off the license plate detracts?

YES! .. nice balance of Z and background .. overall lighting is excellent

I like this one too, but I like the one above more.

I think it's the mountain above .. just the wrong location?

Again .. needs more Z in the shot

I like the jet stream .. but needs more Z in the shot

You know what picture you want as a poster...actually im sure you already have it printed out and have hanging in your living room. Your just showing off now, I think your ego has taken over your life.

Opinions vary.
People who make assumptions usually resemble the first three letters of that word.
I have decided to use 13 pictures & make a collage (I can define that word for you if you want) with one picture centered and the other 12 around it. Found an online company (thanks to someone with something pertinent to say on another forum) that will make the poster much less expensively than Kinkos.

Thanks to those who posted their opinions as to which pictures they liked best. Helped me pic the 13 I will use & more importantly helped me select the one I will use in the center of the poster.

Don't go to kinkos or anywhere online. You can get up to a 20 x 30" print from costco. Upload online pick up in a couple hours, do a collage and don't be a dick cause someone called you out (cause I'm pretty sure that was sarcasm on their part)

I'll check into Costco. Thanks for the info.

As for being a dick, if he's calling me out then why's it ok for him to be a dick? If he can give sarcasm he should be able to take it. Otherwise he shouldn't post or grow thicker skin. He posted nothing about my topic & thus added nothing positive to the thread. He could have at least posted his choice(s) along with his sarcasm.

costco is the ****. I'm pretty into photography as an amateur, the only issue I've had so far is they printed one of the pictures of the Z a little dark, but they will gladly reprint for you for free. They do up to 20 x 30 like I said but it requires quite a hefty picture. Sorry about flying off the handle, I'm just sick of people not having a sense of humor, out of place. Sorry mate. BTW costcos price for a 12 x 16 which is fantastic at 6 MP is 2.99 you can upload online and pay when you get there. Ususally done in about two hours. the 20 x 30s are 9.99. Seriously good deal, sorry again

My votes...

My favorite


And this second


I also like the one in your sig!! Great with the skyline. Just too bad that wall was there. I'd like to see a dusk or a tad later shot with the Hoover Dam lit up in the backdrop...

You have very good taste. lol Those are my favorite ones as well. I am having a friend photoshop some of the picts to lighten them. The one in my sig is gonna have the pole removed & the building under construction removed as well. But I want 13 pics in my collage & I have only settled on 10 for sure right now.
