Yeah, no.
That as as broad as saying if I find an old 1 megapixel camera...take time and start shooting pics of my asshole I can post them in a public area and deem it a "photoshoot"
A photoshoot has to be scenic in some sense of the word. The car should look professionally presentable (no weird reflections or shadows) Which usually involves some use of pro gear be is giant diffusion frames or lights.
basically the results of a "real" photoshoot should yield very polished and professional looking product.
This is why I do not post "photoshoot" when I take pictures of my car. I took my car and shot some pictures. The day I post photoshoot...the results will be something very different.
Hell, I don't even call the photo I took this weekend of all the IE 392 Challengers a "photoshoot" I was having fun and doing the owners of those cars a favor by doing a couple of cool group shots for them.

Call it what you will.
I see it as two guys who took their car behind the local wal mart and shot some pictures.
Now, let's see if any bothered to notice, that NEVER did I bash the photos. Just not fond of the term "photoshoot" in a situation such as this.
And I stand by that statement.

Step back one second and re-read from the start.
I never cast the first stone. I simply stated I don't find this series of pics to be a "photoshoot" I never bashed the photographer or the photos.
Your homeboy, Dingo, decided for lack of better judgement to attempt to insult on my choice of model because I stated my opinion. And the only thing he had to go with was my car.
You jumped in and agreed him.
It went downhill from there.
Then, everyone seemingly kissed and made up...
Back to the topic of debate. The way one uses the term "photoshoot" is a pet peeve of mine. Always will be. Now that its so easy and inexpensive to get great quality gear, you have lots of people running around having "photoshoots" and pretending to high end or pro shooters when they have no business selling themselves as such.
I see it in photography, I see it in my industry of filmmaking. And its drives me nuts for several reasons. One being when it comes to paid work, they somehow snake their way in and then undercut everyones prices...which brings the whole playing DOWN.
I feel that using that simple term "photoshoot" is an extension of that.
I'm sure everyone here has their own pet peeves.

I think the quality of the pics are excellent, although I think the content leaves a LOT to be desired. That is not the OP's fault, he did a great job. It's funny cause just this weekend, I was driving home with my GF from a family party and saw a Porsche that appeared to possibly be a GT3. Hard to tell for sure cause there were some mods done, and it had these BRIGHT orange rims. After pointing out how god awful cars look with colored rims, to which she agreed, I said I feel like that old fart now that always says "these kids and their music these days". I see lots of Civics, Integras, and WRX's with colored rims, but on this car, it really ruined the look of an awesome car.
About the photoshoot thing, I see both sides. I agree with some of the people that say some guys got together and took some planned shots of a car and hence it is called a photoshoot. I personally do not think the term is restricted to Pro shoots only.
I also see Sarlacc's point however, in that he firmly believes that a "photoshoot" is a term that is defined by pro gear, setting, and material. I think a large part of his feelings on this come from his job, which although is not directly in still imagery, is still somewhat related in that his job revolves around capturing images, although video. I know that I cannot stand when people talk about this awesome home theater they setup with this amazing remote that does everything, and I look and the wires are run under the carpet, and up the wall with wire molding, with a (UGH) Harmony running the whole thing. That is not a home theater. That is lazily installed surround sound with a fisher price control system that if you're lucky will work some of the time. So I can relate in a way to how he feels about something that is closely related to what he does for a living (as well as big time as a hobby).
Side note, I'll take a Challenger, SRT8 or not.

Mods please change the title to "Photos I took of a Turbo E36, Stanced, Varrstoen 2.2.0, TEAL"
This was never meant to be a debate about what is a photoshoot. It's in the Photography section bc I felt that was the most appropriate section to put the photos in. I would love to hear the good and bad about my photos so I can improve my skills in the future. I'm always searching forums to get ideas of different angles and settings. I have my own style, but I'm always looking for new to improve.

^ sarcasm? ...LOL! I think it was somewhat answered. ACCURATEin posted a definition and of course Sarlacc had something to say against that DICTIONARY definition since by definition "Any asshole can grab a camera and take pics and call it a "Photoshoot"... I just saying what was already said, not adding to it and starting this all over again

Awesome, so now the morons from the TL section are making their way into our camera forum :why me:
If its so hilarious and true then how come your monkey ass is driving TL and not a TL-S?
I love it when a bunch of retards wander into a thread and have no clue what their talking about.

So, you like to keep showing how daft you are?
I didn't start the fight, I didn't make it personal...but I'll sure take the ball and run with it.
So, would you like to keep trying to show something that isn't there, or do you want to keep going?
Amazing how you're getting all butt hurt over something that didn't even involve you. Talk about staying classy.

I met up with a buddy of mine on Sunday to get some photos of his new setup. Wheels are Varrstoen 2.2.0 17x9 et12 all corners with spacers for more poke ( 12mm in the front=et0 and 15mm rear= et-3)and 215/40 tires. The fenders are rolled and pulled. This color combo is not for everyone, but I must admit it looks pretty sick in person. Photos are taken with Canon XSi; rolling shots are Sigma 10-20 and stills are Canon 50mm f/1.8.
This was a fucking photoshoot.
I feel your rolling shots could land the cover of Eurotuner so keep up the good work.
The photo that stands out the most to me is the one shot from the right rear up the side. I like how only the front wheel and pavement around it is in focus.
As for the content, it's a beautiful red e36, and it probably sounds amazing when it's running. I will be in Florida in May, hopefully I will see this car around, and your TL as well. (HIN Orlando)
Good work.

I never said you started the fight. Run with the ball. Wait, what ball?
Wait. Wut?! Your post count it what's going. It keeps going up and up. There should be an award for post count.
My butt feels spectacular right now. You involved me when you started talking about the morons and fucking idiots that leak out of the TL section. I'm speaking on behalf of all of them. Don't call us morons, and don't call us fucking idiots. Why don't you help guide us in right direction? Tell us how we can be as good as you. How can we be smart? Oh wait, maybe we can't. You're better than all us.

I think the only "crybaby" here is you David. If you had not gotten bent out of shape over someone using the word photoshoot, none of this hoopla would have ever occurred.

To start, here is the definition from dictionary.com you love so much:
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/daft?s=t
I made a comment that I don't think its a photoshoot (and I don't). I never insulted anyone, but I was insulted...there's your ball.
Yeah...very original, attempt to insult my post count, yawn.
Boy you really are a cry baby. Man, if you don't like people from the TL section being insulted then you really should stay out of car talk when some of the more "genius" threads are moved from the TL forum to there.
You're getting your panties all in a twist over a broad generalized comment, and the reality is that its really hilarious how insulted and angry its making you. You want a critique, post a photo and ask for it, I give plenty of critique. Another side of calling something a "photoshoot" it puts the assumption that you think your stuff is so good it needs no critique.
Perhaps you should chill out. Go drive your TL, maybe go build something out of LEGO, change your tampon I don't know
But I do know you're dragging out one of the dumbest causes I've seen in awhile.

Its you whiny little bitches that decided to take that one opinion and turn it into a insult fest.
Do you seriously thing this warped perception you guys are attempting is going to stick?
