NY Photography needed for RonJon Shoots...
ok, I got a bunch of new wheels in the warehouse and some different wheel / tire combos I plan on shooting on a variety of Acura's and Honda's. I have some decent skills shooting cars, but I really want someone who knows their way around a DSLR and can get the awesome HD effect on the pics. In some cases I have one or two wheels and would have to chop the front wheel onto the rear, but otherwise, I want to keep editing to a minimum. Choice of pay or heavily discounted wheels can be discussed. We can also have a mini meet going for anybody else who wants to hang out during the shoot. I'm in Yonkers and I think Executive Blvd would be a great place to shoot. So anybody who thinks they can roll with what I said, let me know, post up some examples of your photography skills and your email, so i can contact you.
Here's a basic idea of the type of photos I am looking for:
If pics don't show, my host is probably doing maintenance or something, check back tomorrow.

Silly of me to forget, lcrazyaznl I'll be calling you soon, pm me your phone # to discuss.
As for a date, it's times like this a Twitter account comes in handy I guess.
I'll use this as the update thread, I'll set it up for next 2 weeks, I have a surgery coming up, and I'll need about a week to recover. By then, the weather should be better and we could make our rounds to each car and wheel. Also give me time to setup the tires on the sample wheels.
Here are the vehicles I would like to shoot:
1.) lcrazyaznl, your 1G TSX with Harrow 18" and 20"
2.) A lowered 3G TL (Type S prefered) with any body kit for Rev in both finishes.
3.) My CL or any additional non NBP CL.
4.) 4G TL (hopefully Blackura can come thru, I'll pm him) with 20" Harrow.
5.) 2G TSX, Lowered with bodykit to be mounted up with Rev and Harrow.
6.) any Honda and Acura SUV's like the 2G MDX.
7.) any other cars you guys can offer.
We can do individual shots and group shots, and if all works out, I WILL be putting out an ad in Super Street, Sport Compact Car or Honda Tuning, full page ad with all the cars on the page. That is for sure. We can have the whole thing documented and we'll have a behind the scenes shoot to use on our website showing the proccess.
On a sidenote, I am buying a boat load of tires, so if anybody is interested in the wheel and tire combos, there will be a pretty good discount on them, to help clear out the wheels and tires used in the shoot.
This should be fun to watch our hard work pop up in a Magazine!

I would like to come and watch. Post details when finalized. I have over 30 years of photography experience and lots of good equipment but I see you have already found your photographer.

Ron if I get dropped and can't sell the Legend II's, I wouldn't mind doing a shoot. Maybe I can arrange something with guys around here to get something going since you are in NY.

I'm decent given the right circumstances.
Shooting with Canon 5D Mark II and have available to me 24-105mm F4, 50mm F1.4 and 70-300mm zoom.
I will probably be one of the few who can record 1080p video in full HD with full size sensor.
Tripod included.

Hey, the more pics the better, I mean, we can make this a cool meet. I'll let everybody know about the photos via pm, but overall, the goal is to get the wheels on some of the vehicles I mentioned, and to get some kick ass shots, then to get the magazine ad going with the best images.
King Meow, 037 and lcrazyaznl, I'll let you guys know whats up when we get an idea of which cars we'll be able to get.
Bigman09TSX and CltotheTl, you guys are welcome to participate in the shoot, I'll sedn you guys pms.

Ron, you can use my RL for the shoot if you like. I'm dropped on H&Rs...HID everything, LED interior.
Let me know when and I'll make sure the car is clean.
Also, I don't expect to get paid...but would appreciate wheel/tire discounts if available as I've been looking to upgrade.
A chance to be published is enough of a reward for me.

As far as tires, I basically get them at different costs, but I do have a set of brand new Pirelli PZeros in 245/35/20. We can talk about that if interested.
next week, i'll have all the info ready, I'll keep you guys updated fo sho.

If I was finished with school I would come up to do the shoot but don't have a break till the beginning of March.

Don't worry, your the guy I am counting on, everybody else is welcome to shoot obviously since it will also be a meet.
Like I said, welcome to shoot away!
Harrow 20" or Legend Type II 20" Liquid Graphite will be available to put on your ride. I just happen to have a set of 245/35/20 Pirelli PZero tires on hand too.
You are welcome to witness the Acura greatness!!!
If only uoiu still had the Devotions still on the car, odd that we went back to the 3 piece forged construction and design we used to have on your car, would make sense to have them in the shoot.
Right, damn centerbore sucks. Would be rather cool to have a Legend and the 09 RL in the same shot. Hmmmm, maybe I might have a set milled, if only it wasn't so hard to sell a set to the Legend. Think we sold like 3 sets in the last 6 years.

I still have them actually. are you back to using the original design or using the new modified design as I would like to get a replacement wheel since I haven't been able to get the one fixed that is bent. I have been told the one set of spokes twisted a little bit so they won't try.

I don't know if you need/want a CBP 4G to include...but depending on when you do it, I might be able to drive down from Boston and join in. Some discounted Legends II's w/ tires would totally make the trip worth it. But I'm happy to help out either way if needed.

Hey I posted already before but ijust wanted to ask if even though my 09 vbp tsx is pretty much stock (hopefully by then I will have finished my headlight And taillight tints), could it still be used in the photoshoot or are you looking for a really modified one?? Thanks. Hopefully I can make this!!

Yeah, I know, but the brakes on the RL really hinder the availability of big sized lips. Unless you can hang with a 32mm offset, they won't fit.
Yeah, these wheel were really intended for the 3G TL.

Ok, I need those interested in participating to fill in the following info and email me ( info@ronjonwheels.com )so I can get this organized:
1.) Vehicle Year, make, model, transmission, color and if the car is lowered or body kitted.
2.) if you can participate in the shoot on Saturday Feb. 6th.
3.) if you are interested in any RJ wheels, let me know the preference of size, style, finish and tire.
4.) phone # contact so we can arrange the shoot.
We will be mounting a bunch of sets with tires, and if I can sell them at a discount, that would help alot because I would rather people drive off with them, rather than have to dismount everything and store it in my warehouse. Info on discounts will be in the emails.

Update:
Saturday, Feb. 6th looks like it's going to be Brick outside, and big chance of snow.
I also have been so busy that I haven't have had time to get all the tires and stuff, so I will probably need more time anyway.
I'll update this thread as time goes on, but Feb 20th I plan to definitely shoot Pete's TL, so that might be the new date.
