Well had some fun today, noticed the lake was a good 12"-20"+ thick, so it was safe to have some fun out there today. Got a friend of mine that had a Digital SLR camera that he uses for photography, this is what we go out of it (Took well over 200 pictures within 30 mins, these were the good ones):

Do remember, cardomain decreased the quality of these, until I get a good host for pictures, this is as good as it gets.

 

that car looks like SEX in the snow. hot color. man your not scared a 2ton car wont fall through?

 

 

nice pics - no ice where i live - at least not thick enough to drive on.

btw - (i haven't been here in a while) Are your head lights HID conversions or is that a completely different projector-style headlight? srry for the noob question.

 

Peiced them together myself. Parts came out of a Mercedes E500, and my other set came out of a BMW Z4.

 

get rid of those headlights and parkint lights, they are HORRIBLE !!

 

are you fuc king crazy!?! dude that is sooo hot, love the pics, thats cool **** man, very cool. Crimson Blaze all the way!

 

I would be so freaked out doing that.

 

I wasn't scared. There were trucks out there weighing 1000lbs+ more than my car. Not to mention, we measure the ice 12" thick in the MIDDLE of the lake (deepest point), which means areas around the shore are most likely double the thickness. 8" is the safe point for a car to be on a lake.

 

thats what happens when i take my max out in this weather.......

you>>>>me

 

man u must be one crack. those headlights are sweet.

 

i really like those lights. very different. car looks good too.





what % tint are your front windows?





_

 

25% on the sides, according the the cops meter , and 19% on the rear window. Not taking it off either.

 

That's friggin beautiful. What kind of tires do you have?

 

Sexy! My fav color...

What ever happened with your dualies???? I was hoping to see them!

 

i know you must have swung it a couple times on that ice. lol. i know i would have. car looks sick and love the headlights.

 

sexy pictures.

 

Those are awesome pictures. The lakes aren't safe enought even snowmnobile on here.

 

your car looks absolutely amazing. LOVE IT

 

1) too expensive
2) not enough time
3) Would make driving at night worse (light concentrated on one spot making the dark areas hard to see)
4) illegal (cannot have more than 2 low beams on public roads, excluding foglamps)

 

Where did you get it onto the lake? Did you use a boat launch or something? Back home, Greenwood Lake (crosses NJ/NY state line) freezes to more than a foot thick most winters, and I've seen pickup trucks out on the ice, but they've got the ground clearance and 4WD to get on and off the shore. Great pics man, looks hot. What SLR did he use?

 

Love the shots, you should submit it to the calendar if you were able to :doh:

 

Used a boat launch, didnt require any offroading. SLR was a Sony, we used a 1GB CF card, so you can imagine the quality this thing takes. Went through roughly 600mb of space. I also have a panoramic shot, but its like 14mb and 12000x2000 in size, so I gotta do some resizing.

 

Here Are some more, much better quality....

 

What lake were you on?

Kinda looks like Minnetonka ... could be wrong though

EDIT: No ... it looks like EP actually, after I look at it ... at some apartments right off the highway. It's been a couple years ... but I remember seeing that building.

 

Mitchell Lake, its in eden prairie. No way im going on tonka, ive heard of too many stories of people going through the ice out there. This lake is much smaller, which means its much safer, and no DNR out here.

 

Yeah! I was right! I know exactly where you are!
My friends used to live there.

Tonka isn't that bad really ... my buddy would take his IRoc out around this time and we'd go out to the middle and whip ****ties and stuff.
I've heard a lot of stories too though, but those are from the morons who take a Dodge 3500 Super Duty towing 3 snowmobiles and an ice hut. heheheh

 

Driving on the lake is fun, but get your friend to buy a tripod or monopod so he can keep the camera straight and level

 

that **** is sick. i wish that we could do that kind of **** around here.

 

I hope you are kidding, he was holding that way to get some nice action shots. It's part of photography, and yes he has a tripod. You dont need the camera straight and level for every picture, its just part of the style of taking photos.

 

I always liked the red maxima.

 

That looks like fun. Here in Colorado I don't really do much out on lakes, but I've been having a LOT of fun with snowy parking lots in the past few days. Just like ice, I only wonder if I do damage to the car by using the e-brake.

 

Yes I was serious... It's a way to take pictures. Everyone thinks tilting the camera somehow makes it an "action shot" when really it makes it look like the photographer is either or an idiot.

 

who said you cant drift a fwd? Very nice pics and great quality pics

 

Well in my opinion I think it looks fine, and i've had no complaints about it yet until you stepped in the picture. So thats just another opinion in the crowd I guess.

 

Those Pics are amazing, great photography, gosh those are really nice, GJ take care of that car!!

 

Nice pics what kinda camera were they taken with?

lmao The guy has a dSLR which probably costed near $1000 if not way above that. He obviously has an interest in photography and a grasp of the basic concepts. Meanwhile here you are complaining about angles when they are a basic general art (and photography) technique that DOES convey movement when done correctly. Ever see professional photographs for car magazines? Stick to taking level pics of your car in your driveway and let this guy take his great shots in peace

 

The key........ It's

 

Yes the camera is worth over $1000. Not to mention he uses several lenses for the camera. Not exactly a "starter" camera.

I beleive it was a Nikon, not sure of the model though.

 

I like the pics... I go out on a lake out here and I am in the water...then again this is Texas... Way to represent the Crimson Blaze.
