Whoa what happened to Shoe's ride!?

Man I hate to hear that about Miguels ride. i was going to call him but for some reason his number didn't transfer to my new phone. Hopefully the word is MAY and it's nothing too serious.

Hopefully Jim will reply if not i'll have wait til i get home to look in my outlook contacts to get his #. i'll have to give him a call tomorrow or should i say later today.

burstaneurysm · 08-08-2009, 02:26 PM

^ Really? I know it was having some engine problems after the photoshoot.

Ah shit, mine was in response to Jim... forgot about page 2.

kev1NZFE · 08-08-2009, 02:27 PM

^ It's cool, it's really just my own personal taste. I'm in the opposite side of those who like really saturated, bright colors. I think it's a style I picked up back when I experimented with expired Kodachrome last year.

I used a Nikon D300 w/ a Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 and a Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 VR during the shoot.

And here's a quick reference as to how I edited each shot.

Yea dude! Ur shots are balla..period!

enuf2spare35 · 08-09-2009, 12:33 AM

Well, I looked in my outlook contacts and couldn't find shoes number. I'll have to get out my old Razor phone and get it out of there. I'll get info on Miguels ride if for nothing else my own interests. Thanks Jim for leaving us a mystery LOL.

ok, that's nice now

not that i've been taking pictures forever, but i use to like em dark at one time too. probably has something to do with having less white noise when it's darker or saturated with color.

any more unedited pics like that?

any chance that your using a tripod and a remote?

help23 · 08-09-2009, 06:42 PM

sweet pics man....I love the editing/filter you used to create the ambiance....

Jiffy_Pop · 08-09-2009, 06:55 PM

Damn those are some sick rides, and the photography is amazing. I really like the ill lighted looked. Keep up the good work.

on another note, those guys have some decent rides.

if anyone local wants some pics taken for free so i can dial in my skills, let me know. link to my flickr: flickr.com/photos/21868742@N07/

hope no one gets offended by this.

checked out yer flicker page...yeah yer pics look nice, but anyone with an SLR can take pics like that....

his edited pics look way better than the original cause it puts more emphasis on the vehicle and eliminates distractions in the background....

and i think those rides are more than decent....THEYRE SICK!!!!!

im no pro either but those pics look 10x better than anything on yer flicker..i hope you dont get offened either.....
