.. pics will be up shortly! ..great turnout! ^^,

 

.. was scrolling through all the shots I took and it seems I took some rly bad shots.. sigh*, I edited the ones that came out pretty decent. I'll post all my pics in a few..

 

Very nice!!

 

.. omg, aZine is running sooo slow for me. I've been trying to get back into this thread for the last hr.. this is rly bad. Hope they sort out the slowness issue..

Anyways, I started editing more pics..

 

 

Those pics are hawt son!!

 

 

Kiran;s TL is so nice

 

.. looks like d00d is falling over...hahahahaha!!! ^^,

 

Yup yup.. his TL is pure sex!! ..I got a couple more pics of his I'm gonna spend some time on. The rest of the pics were quickly edited and rushed through.. so some of them look like garbage.

 

I'll put my pics up tonight after I get home from work.

 

Damn ill, you got these up quick.

Az is slow on my end as well

 

Hahaha.. my crib is a 3min drive from where we took our photoshoot. So as soon as I got home, I started editing away! ^^,

 

What techniques you using for the photo edits. It looks ill . Appreciate the insights (i.e. steps you did). btw thanks for posting the pics

 

dang, these were up fast! I'll post some of mine later tonight after minor editing. Didnt take as many pics this time. But good seeing people!

 

In honor to Kiran who drove all the way from the bay.. ^^, ..also many thanks to ChicoOG for making the 2hr. drive from Chico as well.

.. sorry, I only took a few pics since there were a bunch of other ppl w/digi's.







Sorry, trade secrets.. ^^, But I use Adobe Photoshop CS3 and Photomatrix3 PRO to edit my pics..

 

Very nice pictures! So Kiran made it up there.

 

Those TLs are beautiful. Hot damn!

 

Yeah...looking forward to his pics

We did a little seafoam diy and he got a great shot of the stuff at work

 

kiran holding it down...

ill, did you try to do an HDR from one shot? what ISO were you using? the pictures are grainy and I can't tell if it's from the processing or not.

 

kiran, did you bring the 24-70? Can't wait to see how you utilized that tank.

 

Here's some more..................





We got a short drive in



Some more from the "photoshoot"







And a quick DIY for 3G's on Seafoam............

1) Remove cover


2) Remove this vacuum hose


3) Spray gently into the fixed metal tube that the vacuum hose was attached to. This should take about 10 minutes. Slow and steady wins the race ( and doesn't stall the car). The suction will draw the Seafoam in from about an inch away.


4) wait 10-15 minutes and drive


This was after the third or fourth stoplight we hit.


I think Kiran got a shot of the original burst of smoke

 

damn nice brian whatever post-processing you are doing is "different" (me and klepto hate simulated HDR :P ) but its growing on me

2 hrs and 8 mins left to download the rest of the pics. so this is why ppl buy high speed memory cards then i went to SF with photog user group to get schooled.

yesir, looking through the first 20 they are bleh, too overexposed. that damn small screen, it deceives.

edit: these point-n-shoots are shitting all over my manuel settings. good thing theres post-processing in my workflow heh

^^ There it is. Looks like his trunks on fire, awesome shot

 

^HAHAHAHAHA or maybe someone smoking something in the trunk lol.. anyways these rides are SICK!!! but im not feellin the RJ Kits for them 3G's

 

here are a few pics i took at the "photoshoot"

 

I used HDR on all my shots and kinda tweaked the settings for taking pics of Kirans whip. Still seems I need to mess around with the bracket settings as the under-exposed ones came out way dark. As for the ISO setting, I had it set @ 100.. but added a grain effect when post-editing my pics.

Hahaha.. this time I was actually using the SLR feature on my shitty digi for most of my pics. For the ones I took of your car, I started to tweak the settings a little bit too experiment and what not.. I have a couple more pics of your whip that I thought had came out good, but turned out rly bad after editing them.

 

... hahaha, that pics so great. Hey ChicoOG, right after that happened.. someone came up to us in the lot and asked if your car was alright and whether it was supposed to be doing that! ..hehe ^^,

 

I appreciate the help...the car is running noticeably smoother and it looks like I'll get a bump in mpg's

I like the DIY meet format/idea, it made the 3 hr round trip drive worth while

Great pics

 

Kiran your is lookin DOPE BRO!!!!!!!!!

 

Damn, almost everyone who attended the meet had a digi, where are all the pics? Guess I'll start editing/posting more pics too keep ppl entertained.. stay tuned!

 

.. and these are the rest of my pics I just decided to edit right quick.. so you'll have to wait for other ppl to post their pics now.

 

Nor Cal doin it big.... whips are lookin mean!

 

A SHINING example of Seafoam properly done by ChicoOG!
and thats a low mileage perfectly maintained gen3~ your car probably needs it too!
Even the non-foam believers were ready to go to the parts store!!

I like the meet-diy-short drive, saves me a lot of typing about diy procedures for locals, and lets us film and photo to make better DIYs for the forum
Hope everyone there left with a clear understanding of the process and reasoning.

Just need to bring a pop up canopy or 2, I have the tools, ChicoOG has offered his car for rear brake install (and more)- if you can do those, the fronts are even easier.
We can set up behind the Tapioca shop if needed?....
That seemed to be a fairly central location- (exception to Kiran who made the 200+ mile trip in honor of the Sac members who attended the Bay Area meets)

Next time we should use the arena entry roads where we kept stopping- get group pics like that... taking all the lanes- posed in the columns...
Do a grup foaming in the closed road at the guard shack-
Just tell them we are not there to race!!!- just a photo shoot...the canopies would even make us look legit!
Oh- your with what magazine- azurazine---ummm ok i guess

 

im totally digging Kirans car, looks sick with all that WooD GRAIN interior wise so Luxurious.......thas my style.....fly in the house pimpin in the streets....

 

Is it the picture or this RJ kit has the wrong pearl sprayed on?

Other than theat great meet. It looks like the Sea Foam made the meet to be so great

 

Yeah just say no to HDR ... Kiran lets see the 24-70 shots since you say Justin spends more money on lenses than his car

 

looks good guys, the blue second gen is hot!!

 

doin it big! nice pics
