Looks like a great turn-out. Great pics, PB.

Really wish I could have made it out there for the meet. Hopefully we can plan another meet soon!

holy fuck nugget, Adam...I did not realize your range of talent. It's not often that I'm blown away now that I've gotten critical with photography skills...but I am. Those people were lucky to have you there. Gorgeous ca rs, too

My favs:

THis one looks like a damn Acura commercial. So crisp and clean.


This one is the epitome of flush, stanced hotness.


Its a white party!!


OEM Hotness (i may be a bit biased)


Dude is like......WTF, I can't stand it when my wife stares at other dudes cars.


I think this might be the best rolling shot of all of them. Almost looks 3D!






New avatar time:




So next time we schedule in some grub and drinks. Adam's first drink is on me. Thx man, great shots.

Second round on me for Adam. Anytime you want Adam just hit me up and we'll get out on 75 or maybe siesta key somewhere and get some shots of your ride.

I was surprised with our turnout, especially since the weather was looking sketchy. Hopefully the next meet is even bigger.

Thanks for the kind words, Jeremy! I tend to step up my game when I'm shooting other cars. I didn't think I would have many shots turn out when going through them on the camera.

Next time I'll get some rolling shots of mine. Hopefully I'll have some new mods by then.

I was shooting his car at 1/20 (slower speed) to get that motion blur. I was looking at the pics on the camera and I didn't really think many were coming out good, so I shot everyone else's pics at a faster 1/40. I wanted to play it safe and not mess up all of the rolling shots.

Crown and ginger is my drink!

I was planning on contacting you to do a photoshoot of your car. It was one of my favorites and the color is so easy to shoot. I have a few good spots around town we can go. We will do it sometime in the next couple weeks.

Ill grab Adams grub! We appreciate the hard and amazing work you put in at the meet, even with your tight schedule. Adam may have to be in a van next time. Drinks and food may give him the almighty "itis" lol

Was nice meeting everyone and was a pretty good turnout.

Predatorbird those are some good shots! Did you do a lot of post editing? What kind of lenses were you using?

We got so caught up putting quarters in meters I forgot to ask



Yeah next meet we need to schedule a meet then about an hour later after everyone meets go inside for some lunch and a.c.

Sunday's are the best day usually since a lot of business's are closed and less traffic. It will be at least two weeks before I'm available to meet up.

I was switching between 3 different lenses... Canon 28-135, Canon 50mm f/1.8, and Sigma 10-20. I use two programs for post processing, but I don't go crazy with it. I have certain settings I use to edit photos for each program and doesn't take me long since I edit them all the same way.

It was very humid out, the next meet needs to be in the fall/winter time.
