Photo Shoot

[Hou]

Was talking to fizz on msn and had an idea of a toc northern photo shoot!

Would be good for those without many pics of their pride and joy to get together and get some taken!

Both me and fizz are up for this so far,so whats ppl think another mini meet with the intention of getting lots of different pics of each car,including some motion pics(my fave)??

Meet up, take pics, pub grub?maybe august some time???

[Calisto]

I am up for this I would love some motion piccys but I spose I will have to slow down abit,

btw There is an official photographer at JAE I have emiled him to take proffesional piccys of my girl.

[Hou]

sat 14th would be perfect unless anyone has any objections to this???

My cam's only 5 megapixels, but I'm a reasonably handy snapper. Sort a date out and a location and I'll see what I can do...

[jaxx]

id go for the sunday option as its the easiest day for 90% of ppl

[gordypix]

- For the best light do the pictures outside in early September.

- Early morning or late afternoon is the best time of day when the sun is low in the sky and the colour from it is more intense.

- 5 mega pixels is more than enough for this sort of pictures. 2 or 3 mega pixels would be fine also.

- Shoot on TV mode on the camera. Set a slow shutter speed of around 1/15 - 1/50 depending on the light and pan the camera to follow the car. The background and wheels will blur to give the impression of high speed.

- Maybe use fill in flash with the slow shutter speeds to freeze the car and hold the shutter open to blur everything else.

- You do not need a tripod for these type of shots really unless you are using huge heavy sport lenses.

HAPPY SHOOTING

either or, just aslong as i have fore warning. :)

but like jaxx said, i think the sun would be a better option, as most ppl

would probs be available.

cheers for the pointers gordy think they will really help!

Will make sure i get practice for the motion pics then

[jaxx]

thanks for the advice gordy!

you the man!

perhaps we could tempt you with Krispy donuts to bring your camera up one time

[Fizz]

thanks for the advice gordy!

if you look in the other thread about the northern meet.. he has already declared that he wants to defect to the north.. as we seem to have more fun!..

Good Lad...

that would be great would be able to watch a pro at work and maybe even learn something!

[DazH]

Good idea, as I'm not exactly David Bailey :(

[gordypix]

Guys - It ain't about being a pro or not.........

The shots you all get are great Sure sometimes some of the technique and timing need a bit of work but you don't do it everyday so that is not a problem at all.

If I can get away - I will be pleased to drop in on a meet sometime and lend a camera or two to the occassion

And some of the shots I see from you guys I would like to have taken myself

and yes A huge selection of krispy kremes will do very nicely

You sound a crazy bunch up north - the pics would be very telling.......

ONE THING though - stop shooting all the cars all the time and look for the ambience overall.............expressions, colours, details, highlights..........as well as the whole car.

cheers mate just good to hear from someone who knows what they are on about
