Saturday Night Hangout - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

HoupPhotography · 04-23-2008, 04:31 AM

I forgot to post these up and share. This happens every Saturday night at a local Safeway parking lot, there is a minimum of 600+ cars there on a slow night...

Enjoy the photos....

It's at 83rd aVE & Lake Pleasant Parkway..... IF your still in Q.C. you'll need to get hotel arrangements......

We do have it pretty good out here.....until summer comes. We are almost at a disadvantage, (I can hear the comments coming, lol) We only have the winter time to show off our junk OR work on it. I don't know about the others but we can't or don't do much in the summer time, building or cruising.
Maybe it's just me looking for the "lazy" factor......

**steelhorse** · 04-23-2008, 08:52 PM

You west coast boys have it made when it comes to shows and rust free cars

No, it's not the camera, although a nice camera is definately an asset. A great photograph will have the ability to draw you into the picture and let you feel that you are "there". You have an eye for composition and we appreciate your artwork....and it is artwork.

The second part of the equation is the subject matter, and that Metropolitan is INSANE! Of course, I'm partial to the rat rod at the top and GrapeNutz is clean.

HoupPhotography · 04-25-2008, 01:49 AM

I'm partial rat rods too, I have a '29 truck that is almost road worthy. My wife thinks the motor is dumb.....

I'll spare the details but it's a BBC with a 671......!!

Brad · 04-24-2008, 07:53 AM

I spent the first 6 months of last year down in Tucson basically, and I only found a few shows to go to- I looked hard too! I couldn't believe how few shows they have down there. I know Phoenix had a bit more, but sheesh! We have way more up here in the PacNW!

IvelDesigns · 04-24-2008, 08:26 AM

i miss phoenix. great place to live if you ask me. Maybe someday the wife and i will move back down there.

Dude, you forgot the "blue-hairs", a.k.a Snowbirds...... I can handle the rest of the problems.....

Great shots!

HoupPhotography · 04-25-2008, 08:58 PM

Why was this moved & where is it?

Prerunner1982 · 04-25-2008, 09:03 PM

Wish that happened around here. Unless it is a sanctioned car show the Local PD shuts down the "hang outs".. Of course its the kids racing down the streets that has caused the police to act this way... Nice pics..I am by far no photo expert but in the whole car shots you might try to step back just a bit and get the whole car in the shot rather than cutting off the fenders. I still like the unique shots, like over the red cars tire and of the blue truck. Thanks for posting them.

Some of local car guys talked to the management at Safeway (grocery store) and they gave them the ok to hang out here every saturday, some of the local PD guys have even been up there hangin' out, once in a while the Fire dept. will bring out one of their ladder trucks. It's really cool, but you do have the knuckle head in the crowd, that feels the need to do a smoke show when they leave the parking lot.

I appreciate the crituque on the photos, when I shoot, I try to get an image that is not typical or an "average" type of shot. I can definitly understand your point/perspective and I agree, as odd as it sounds, when you do this as a profession you become your worst critic and it is equally as difficult to take a normal "snap-shot".

I know it doesn't help you wanting to seethe entore vehicle, just wanted to give you a little insight...... Thanks for looking!

It depends on how much you want to spend, you can get an great camera for 300-500. Some great choices are the Sony Cybershot (cheaper) or the Canon Alpha (I think Canon makes it) it's on the more expensive. I like the cyber shot, you can't interchange lesns BUT you can get lens adapters for Macro and telephoto.
