Thursday Night 27th April - Now with pics of the event

[Silver_R34_GT-T]

Hey, i was just wondering if anyone would be interested in joining me in a meet and cruise on Thursday the 27th of this month....

Will meet at DFO parking lot around 8:30, and leave at 9:15 .. We will cruise through the city, then up to a lookout on Mt cootha for a chat and photos etc. then when we feel satisfied we will cruise back down to a parking lot with somewhere for food and drinks.. ((this location to be organised as i dont know my way around the city))

We went out Mt cootha a few weeks ago to find it packed.

However half way down the mountain there is a large gravel area. Where many people pull over to share a moment. But its big enough to house many skylines for a photo opp.

Im not sure how low is too low to get into this area. May want to scout it out first. But it is perfectlly normal to see a few cars parked there. Its public land and can easily used and then we can push on again.

I suggest a few long expsure shots on this spot will achieve a fantastic result.

yeah, i missed the last cootha run.

ive just been looking at whereis.com.au to find good ways there etc, if mt cootha is going to be packed, then maybe another destination, but if everyone is happy with cootha ,even though it was down fortnight ago, i will write up times and routes...

Mate the gravel area im talking about is huge and mostlly un populated until after 10-11 at night... (As people are ready to make a moment, if you know what i mean. )

Anyways ill dig up a map and try and point out where the area is. This spot is awsome for night time long exposure photography and im more than keen to try it out tommorrow night to see what its like.

This is the spot im talking about...

If ya want go and have a look at it. Quite obvious where it is. As you pass it you will notice exactlly why i suggested it. Cause at night you can have your car in the for-ground and the city in the back ground and it would look amazing...

The area there is around the outside of that bend...

[Silver_R34_GT-T]

ah true that, i might go down there tomorrow night some time and scope it all out.....

col if u dont mind me asking, would u be abe to pm me with details about costs, and good places for paint jobs, is about time i got my custom graffity key lines off my left side and boot..

cheers.

I got my line in that gravel area once, just gotta take it really easy, there are lots of humps and trenches, but if you take it easy, all will be OK.

[Silver_R34_GT-T]

yeah, i might go have a look tongiht or tomorrow, GRAVEL.... no body better spray u with rocks trying to look tuff on it.

[Col-GTSX]

Im keen to go for a drive this arvo to have a look see...

While there is still a little light...

[Col-GTSX]

Straight from my CCD to your screen...

The entrance and surface to this area is good. It has been done in road base and is very safe even for the lowest of skylines. There is heaps of room to "line" em up... LOL

It was a bit overcast tonight so the pic is not the best. But you get the drift...

[Silver_R34_GT-T]

awesome pic col, yeah, the spot looks good. i edited the first post, so fingers crossed for good weather, sorry i didnt get back to yuo earlier i would have loved to come for that drive.

What about the car park at the planetarium?? Or were you particularly interested in the photo op??

[Silver_R34_GT-T]

why not stop at both places???

Here is another picture for you...

My camera was playing up a little due dust on the ccd from when i was in fiji...

So here is another photo, no modifing just straight from the ccd to you... (With a slight photoshop resizing)

Notice the light reflection on the top of the car from the city lights... Looks weird once its be resized... Looks amazing in RAW file.

Also you may want to change the olour of the text youhave used in the first post for us who are using the dark background option. Like me...

[Silver_R34_GT-T]

nice pics, the more i look at them, the more i wish i went with you, the 34 would look hot next to the bright yellow beast and city in background.
