I like pink camo, actually.
I'm not even kidding.

 

Haha - you guys are awesome lol - pink camo huh

 

Ryan - love the camo lambo lol - that actually looks pretty good!

 

So - my image hosting on photobucket was getting full, didn't think that if I deleted photos from it, it would delete them from posts...anyways, opened up on a new image host with Flickr and uploaded some shots from the Hometown Heroes event this past Sunday...mostly spent time taking photos of the Acura Crew




Pre-meet to gather our group before rolling in

what a great meat!

 

Great shots.

 

Nice pictures! Those S2000s

 

Awesome shots man. Looks like a nice turnout of TLs

 

Definitely...love that you're passionate enough about it to document it!

 

Thanks for the love yeah it was a good turnout, love running with a group of TL'ers its the best.

 

So I have been laying low for a bit lol - been super busy lately and haven't done much photo shooting. However, I just completed the Rally your Heart Charity event this past weekend to support K9s for Warriors. The Rally is a Spirited Driving Photo Scavenger Hunt spread over two days, however it's not a race, you win by completing checkpoints. We had ralliers come in from Georgia, Mississippi, and surrounding cities in Florida to start the Rally in Orlando at the Cars and Coffee. Cumulatively we drove around 970 miles from leaving the house Friday night to arriving back home Sunday Night. Our event theme was "movies" so we had to dress up in costume for the kick off Saturday morning! Each day composed a target list of coordinates to different cities/landmarks..etc and on a website was a set of photos to replicate and upload. We started in Orlando, headed west to Tampa, then south to the Everglades, east to Miami for the end of the first leg. Second day we started out in South Beach, up the coast to Ft. Pierce, Palm Beach, Cocoa Beach, Christmas (yeah I had no idea there was a Christmas in Florida), and back to Orlando to finish the rally. The next event is looking to be held in possibly in Georgia with Atlanta being the potential starting point. Check out rallyyourheart.com and k9sforwarriors.org for more info.
Here are some shots from the weekend - most of these were done on my Galaxy phone, not the dslr.

Good looking set of TL's.....just 4 though?

 

Yes sir - all together we actually had a total of 6 show up throughout the "meet" time-frame. I'm losing steam on trying to coordinate these peoples to meet up - lol - oh well. Can always hope for better next go round.

 

Holy shit the bend in that Vossen...

 

I know right - more like a gouge than a bend - but he doesn't seemed worried about. The Acura Parts Manager at a local dealer just became a dealer for Vossen - so he's looking to get some new ones I think

 

Ask him how much would he sell them if and when he gets a new set.

 

Heard

 

Here are some shots I took today at local car show -

It looks like painted engine bays are making a comeback!

 

I think they been a constant - been seeing some really good hand drawn artwork being made on some of the covers. I dunno - I'm not a huge fan of the covers, but without it doesn't look the greatest inside lol - if I had the funds and could powder coat the intake manifold, valve covers etc...i wouldn't mind leaving the engine plastics off ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Looks great! Keep it up.

 

^^^Viagra commercial!







I used to try and keep the plastics nice...but honestly, I like the look of the raw engine bay now...easier to get to everything and helps everything breathe in this heat!

 

i'll let you know if it lasts longer than 4 hours

Yeah - i hear that, but at the same time - no color - i like the color lol...and everything could use a good cleaning in there too - never did an engine bay cleaning - so i'm not sure how to go about it, i'm worried about the electrical pieces/belts in there

 

Well, I'd just put a publix bag over the top of the fuse box...other than that, spritz away with degreaser and spray it down. No pressure washer!

 

Heard! Do i need to worry about the alternator and battery? cover them up too? thanks for the advice sir!

 

Messed around yesterday and got some shots in - these are RAW no editing other than camera settings - trying to get comfortable with it.

the first and third shots are great

 

thanks man! appreciate it

 

Well done....all of them look great.

 

Nice shots man. Love the first one

 

thank you sir!
yeah, i like messing with the aperture and getting the background kinda of blurry - those are my favorites, now trying to work on better backdrops!

 

Yeah man I'm in the same boat. Slowing learning photoshop as well so I can shoot more in raw

 

I'd lean more toward perfecting your bokeh using your lens!
I only use lightroom cause I don't have the attention span for PS

Great pictures, always!

 

Yeah I would use lightroom but I got ps for free through work

 

i use snapseed on my phone when I want to play around with editing lol - no lightroom or photoshop - thinking about getting something though down the road - i agree being able to handle the raw pictures better.

 

I knew it was meant to be.

 

Transformation Tuesday! 5 years ago, I made the decision to get a 2nd vehicle to avoid adding excess mileage on the wifey's Subie, Day 1 I rolled off the lot with 80K and now 1,825 days later and 170K she's still running great as ever. Feels good to be car payment free!
