Did you take these shots using B&W film? Very sharp pictures.

If they are black and white shots, would look really cool if you used greasepaints to color the car only on the B&W backround.

Very Nice

THanks for the comments guys.

reason for being asked to leave its an old adandoned state mental institution

"Located in Newtown, CT, the Fairfield State Hospital (also known as "Fairfield Hills") was opened as a mental institution in 1932. Fairfield Hills was one of the states largest mental health facilities until it closed its door in 1995. At its peak it housed over 4,000 patients. The main campus consists mostly of large 2-3 story buildings ranging in size from 15,000-200,000 square feet. There are many other smaller buildings on the edge of the campus that appear to have served as living quarters for staff. "

barrowed from this site. http://www.angelfire.com/ny3/sunshyn...fairfield.html more info also on the site

As for the pics. I used my digital rebel with hack firm ware. Then used photoshop to make B&W

Nice pics! Try using black and white...It can bring out all kinds of detail...like this:


Note the clouds...

Anyway, that choice of background you used, is real good. And the wheels look just right.

once again thanks!
I do have rims for the car, but they are off because i got a flat, and dont have the $$$ to get a new tire. Plus winter is a month away.

If anyone is interested in the shots form the day(in color) you can view the album they are in at http://rs-scooby.com/gallery/album59

Nice pics, eerie location, just right for the Halloween season.

Digital cameras are great but only half the process. The rest comes in the post processing. I played with this in Photoshop a little, I could see there was a lot of detail hiding in there:
