The Torrent takes Vacation... In WY, MT and SD!

[gm4life]

Well as some of you had noticed I was absent from regular posting sometime. I promise I am making up for it with some amazing Torrent photos from my vacation. Many were taken in the Tetons, others on the Beartooth HWY, and a few in South Dakota in Custer State Park. Another few odd balls were thrown in that I liked. Enjoy them and if I do say so myself they are some of my best, car photographs ever. 56K be warned there are over 40 of them and I only picked about 1/2 of what I took. Please enjoy leave comments and tell me if they are as good as I say or otherwise. Enjoy and feel free to use as wallpapers etc.

God, you were a hop a skip and a jump from me when you were in Montana... I like that purple too.

[GMTruckGuy74]

You took some really nice pictures of your Pontiac on your trip... some even look like they could have been from a Torrent brochure (Pontiac should be using them :AH-HA_wink: ). Thanks for sharing!

[loki]

very nice pics.

what kind of camera do you have?

just one tip on a few pics, try not to put the horizon in the middle of your pictures, add more sky, or add more ground.

[gm4life]

Well thanks for all the kind words. Especially the brochure comment GMC. The purple is growing on my too Von, the price was right and it had my oh-so important chrome PA2 wheels so I figured it was meant to be. As the camera Loki it is a Pentax K-100D (I am almost postive all the photos were taken on that) I also have a Pentax K-10D and a Sony Cybershot H-1. My son shots with the K-100D most of the time or the (wife) my daughter and wife also use the H-1. I did take the photos with the K-100D because I didn't need 10 megapixel car photos and 6 mpg were enough anyways. Thanks for the tip I do understand that but sometimes I was in a hurry other times I was taking my time. Thanks again keep the comments coming. :AH-HA_wink: By the way GMC I love sharing and **cough cough showing off** my American cars...

Fantastic pictures!

How did you manage to keep the Torrent so clean with all that travelling?!

[gm4life]

Well it was only 4,250 some miles. Ted the secret is a bucket full of supplies, tireshine, car wash solution (in a small bottle), rag, and car washing mit. Very patiently fill of the small bucket as many times as it takes to clean the car... Then bring a some spray wax and your all good. Works like a charm. Enjoy 'em guys!

Nice pics, love the color. (Colour) for you Canadians and Brits. So many unnecessary vowels.

[gm4life]

PCS thanks but the real question is when are you getting a Torrent?

Thanks Knight that means alot to me.

[knightfan26917]

*nods*

You are welcome.

I love pictures of cars ... but the best pictures are the ones with gorgeous scenery that accents the car ... and that the car accents, too....if that makes any sense. I see that balance in many of the pictures you've posted for us. Some I like better than others, of course, but a lot of the lighting and angles really set them off....at least, imho.

[gm4life]

No I totally agree. I took just a few son took many of the "better" ones. I was to busy getting wildlife and scenery. He knew what his job was. hehehe Thanks again tho for the kind words.

[knightfan26917]

...and he did his job well .

Now...did you post some of those wildlife and scenery pics? Did I miss 'em? Or have you not shared them with us...YET?

[gm4life]

Nope none. Just cars. Truth is the non-car photos are still on my memory card yet.

PCS thanks but the real question is when are you getting a Torrent?

Well it's on my wife's list when we get back to the States, but so are a whole lot of others things. Let's see (Torrent, Equinox, Traverse, Vibe, G5, G6, 9 1, 9 3), in the end I will make the final decision, base on Safety, fuel economy, and the big factor, which is, my money pays for it.

[gm4life]

Tell her to go Pontiac. :AH-HA_wink:

[gmcbob]

Nice little SUV actually - I like them.

Man, I really miss the Mountain West.

[gm4life]

Thanks GMCbob I like it alot too. It drives very nice and has good pick-up but the darty handling make it a different and fun to drive them the more refined aka sporting touring driving SLE. I would recommend a Theta to anyone, we loves our.

[knightfan26917]

Nope none. Just cars. Truth is the non-car photos are still on my memory card yet.

*chuckles*

Well, in that case, you have some work to do, don't ya?

[gm4life]

Ugh don't talk about it. I was in and out of town all weekend doing family stuff.
