Title: GSTwins Backgrounds!
Post by: Turd Ferguson on May 09, 2006, 07:10:49 PM
I have been a graphic designer for many years.  It paid my outrageous liquor store bills through the first 4 years of college, and helped me afford a motorcycle.  Okay...not a good combo, but I keep the motorcycle and liquor seperated.  What?  I'm drunk.  No seriously, I'm drunk.

Anyways, I should make some GSTwin.com backgrounds.  If anyone has good high-res pictures, I'll chose a few and make some neato backgrounds for everyone.  You see...I get into this stuff.  I get all excited and start wheezing, have to find my inhaler.  Things get outta hand pretty fast.

Seriously folks, send me some high resolution pictures (AT LEAST 1280 pixels wide) that are good quality.  The better the picture, the better I look.  That is really what this is all about....me looking good.

What I want:  Good pictures of custom GS's (any year welcome!), someone to love me.

What I will not accept:  Strange pictures of your pets, naughty pictures of you, naughty pictures of you with your strange pet.

This message took me a good 30 minutes to type/spell check.

That's actually sort of a neat looking little hatchback. What is it? (Us Yanks love the big ol' cars...but I love little hatchbacks  :laugh:)

Opel (A division of Vauxhall?) also makes an Astra, which is also sold under the Chevrolet name as well.

At the moment GM owns vauxhall....but either way...still a neat looking hatch.

I like the second pic a lot...you have a really clean bike (well...mine has oily hand prints all over it from rejetting this weekend :laugh:)

Post by: Alphamazing on May 14, 2006, 11:13:03 AM
The second pic is nice, but a bit over exposed. If you could catch the metallic blue flake of the paint and the design in it, it would be a much better picture I think.

Turd, I'll try to get some big ones of my bike around campus here sometime next week. Lots of pretty places to get pictures of around here. Since students won't be here anymore I won't have to worry about running them over on the sidewalks if I decide to explore uncharted territory, or something.

The other weekend I went on a nice semi-long ride and brought my camera with me.  I found a couple nice spots to shoot some pics.  They aren't exactly the normal proportions (4:3) since I had to crop them after straightening them out in photoshop.  Anyway, enjoy :thumb:

a little stretch of sand in North Beach, MD (http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o287/_badguy_/bike%20stuff/GS/DSCF2201.JPG)

same place from the side of the bike (http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o287/_badguy_/bike%20stuff/GS/DSCF2211.JPG)

farmland in Calvert County, MD with the Patuxent River in the background (http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o287/_badguy_/bike%20stuff/GS/DSCF2221.JPG)

channeling skoebl and kinda andwr... (http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o287/_badguy_/bike%20stuff/GS/DSCF2223.JPG)

I think they look pretty good even with the chips in the paint, scratches, etc.  Hope you can use em.
