NICE! You really have to come up and do that photo shoot for us downtown sometime...

Very quality photography....

 

Thanks. I appreciate the comments. I'm up for it. You guys pick out a location that you'd like to do it at and let me know about when you want to have a go at it. For the best lighting, early evening is best - but we have to allow ourselves enough time to arrange cars on location and so on. Of course there is always the possibility of doing a nighttime city shoot if Cleveland has a good spot to do so. Otherwise - perhaps somewhere in the country? I dunno - but I'll leave that to you guys since you know your own turf.

I wasnt really happy with the overall colors and the feel of most of the photos from Norwalk - it was a really hazy day and shooting at noon, I didnt have much choice about it. I guess they aren't too bad though.

One thing I can guarantee - prints look better than most people's PC displays. Hopefully Bobby will comment on this, as he saw a good number of my prints at Buschur's when we were getting tuned last week. Most people dont have a color calibrated display, so I cant guarantee that they look great when you are seeing the shots online - but I CAN guarantee the prints are dead on. I did a 13 x 19 print for one of the cars from the Winged Warrior challenge today and it is really nice.

 

I think Bobby's times were like 18.893 @ 74 mph

:P

 

Well, lets figure something out right now... what's everyone's July weekends like: 8/ 9th; 15/ 16th; 22/ 23rd?

 

^nothing (maybe studying), but I am definately up for a professional photoshoot, I'll even wash my car for it, I promise
hashiriya let us know what works for you and we'll work it out

 

You read my mind. How can I get those from you?

 

Pretty much anytime after the 4th of July weekend - I'm going to the USGP F1 race in Indy on the 2nd. Its not confirmed yet, but I also may have a one week long shoot mid month up in the Boston area. Once I know about that one for sure, I'll let you guys know. Usually my schedule is pretty much open ended, but things tend to jump in there suddenly. The sooner you guys can give me an idea, I can mark it on the calendar.

Alexandru - just out of curiousity - where did you shoot your car's shots that are in your sig? Looks like rooftop parking or something? Might be a good place to do a shoot if its convenient.

One more question - how many guys/cars do you want to get together for a shoot? I'm assuming that you would want individual shots more so than group type shots, so we should plan on allowing enough time to do all that - Especially if we will be changing locations during the day. I dont mind doing a morning/afternoon/evening shoot at different places if there is enough interest.

Please discuss... further comments appreciated.

 

Ah...can this photoshoot wait? Or can someone bring my car for me?

 

I could do a whole Saturday or Sunday. Drive around, BS about cars, get pix, get food... sounds cool.

 

I'd just have to decide if i should being my Evo or Eclipse. The Evo looks 99% stock so the Eclipse is much more photogenic... hmmmm.

If my g/f could drive stick, I'd have her drive the Evo... but she can't and doesn't want to try.

 

Any weekend except July 8th is good for me. I think we could do some good downtown venues rather than the countryside.

Ideas:
1) Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
2) Edgewater Park
3) E. 55th by the Lake
4) Just west of downtown by the bridges
5) ?

I'd be interested in individual shots as well as Evo group shots.
Let's do this!

 

How about the 15th or 16th?

Bobby, any chance of getting us into the hanger?

 

As long as it is not like 10 cars it should be cool. Any weekend a late afternoon, evening, or night would be best .(least amount of real airport traffic then) So that should be no problem.

 

"the hanger"......sounds like a gay bar
