My buddy Dan Murray (who some of you know) asked me to take some pics of his bugeye wrx, and ofcourse I agreed. Well, what a shoot. The day’s events:

  • Found a nice back road and started taking pics.
  • A guy in a MINT cutlass 'vert pulls up to look at the cars.
  • I move my car and run over 2 of my lenses.
  • I finish the photoshoot like a BOSS with one zoom lens.

Anyways, here’s the some highlights of the shoot. The rest can be found here:

Enjoy!

waddup kermit

3

wow some of these are REALLLLY good! great work !

4

Thank you! I’m trying to work on my editing, I think that’s my biggest downfall. I think I’m getting better though.

Looking at the pics you and Jim take has def helped me out a lot :thumb

5

Damn man, that sucks about the lenses. Which lenses were they? Hoping no L glass was harmed lol.

Great photos man, seems like you came a long way from your first few postings.

6

This car didnt have a carbon hood, and black wheels at one point in time did it?

7

Expensive photoshoot. At least the pictures came out good in the end :slight_smile:

Dan is good people too.

8

Luckily, I don’t own any L glass lol. It was my Sigma 18-50mm and Canon 50mm 1.8. I might be able to salvage them though… :shifty

Nope, I don’t think so

Haha yea, not how I was expecting the day to go.

Dan is def good people, one of the nicest guys I know.

9

“Come At Me Bro” shot and number 13 are my favorites.

Dirt is a great background to use for a WRX, even mid day shots you can get some nice contrasting areas out of with dirt and gravel.

Dont be afraid to shoot whatever grabs your attention on a car, nuts, bolts, color, scratches, dents, body lines, whatever gives the car its character and personality - even if its dirty and covered in grease. You have some good compositions, keep shooting I want to see more!

Good work man, Dan is definitely good people. They came out nice, bummer about the lenses! I like 3 and 4, but 9 really did it for me. It’s a different perspective than what we usually see from the typical car shoots but worked out really well. Good location, car looks good and the photos came out great.

11

Thanks Jim :rockon Thats another thing I’m working on. I noticed I usually do the same type of shots so, I tried to get some different views in on this one. Practice makes perfect :smiley:

Thank you! 9 is one of my favorites too.

12

5 and 14 are sooo Minty

13

oh hai!

14

Whoa these are some dope pics. 9 and 16 are my favs but Kermit needs to GTFO.

15

FROGS NEED LOVE TOO

16

Pics are really good, Murray is a cool dude as well.

Pics of lenses? :lol
