how modded does the car have to be?

 

Hey! How's it goin man? Haven't heard from ya in a long time. I should be able to make it down sometime in the near future, so we could cartainly do it then if you like. Snag a couple of your Evo buddies too!

That sounds good to me...which Sunday works best for everyone? Then we can set up either individual times or another meeting during the week for those that cant make it on the Sunday. Again, Im pretty flexible so we should be able to work it out.


Modded or not, just a nice clean car....or, if uve had some fun playing in the mud with all this rain, that might make for some fun pics too.


Again, thanks to all ya'll.

 

hey pat,things been doing ok mostly work there's a bunch of evo's in salinas and monterey area now so it shouldntbe hard to gather them up. so hows your rs doing now,is it done yet

 

let me know when the date is gonna be, so i can give my car a wash. i'll be glad to participate

 

what do I have to do???
just let me know later....

 

i just might have to make time for this... lmk

and dont take pics of zoebs car! its black and has ugly payless shoes
haha
edgar,

 

very cool project and a good way to go about seeking volunteers/subjects! do you have any picturesque backdrops/backgrounds in mind for this photo shoot? also, if you don't me asking, what kind of equipment will you be using during this photo shoot?

 

Yeah I hear that...and alas, no my car is not done yet. The official date is June 13th. I hit some snags...as in bent rear struts, both of them. So those needed to be replaced ASAP, I did so via Zero 2R's

As for locations, I don't really have any ideas as I figured most of the people willing to help out would probably be from the South Bay, and I dont know my way around the South Bay to save my life, so again, any and all suggestions are welcome. And I dont mind you asking about my equipment at all...just keep in mind I am a student and therefore money is a bit limited...my camera is just a cheap little Canon T3, with a Canon 28-80 zoom, costs about $300 but produces really nice images for the price. I also love Canon's new meetering system, couldnt be easier. Film will probably be a mixture of Fuji Provia and Velvia, the stuff is getting increasingly harder to find, so maybe what I can get my hands on....Im gonna need quite a few rolls it looks like. I'll also be bringing my digital, which is a Sony DSC F828, which I absolutely love, but wish it was a DSLR, which will be my next purchase, Canon 20D. Amazing resolution with the Sony tho, i just need a better printer now to keep up with it...something like an Epson 2200, but those might be a little difficult to find now that they dont make em any more. Ive also got a Leica M3 that was my grandfathers, as well as another old Canon from my other grandfather, but those I dont use as much, especially the Leica.

Alright, I honestly wasnt expecting this many responses, but I thank you all, this should be fun! Looks like we will have around 15-20 cars. Most of you have said Sundays work well, so how about next Sunday the 15th? Again, I will need help in selecting locations, so please post up some ideas. Like I said before, Im willing to drive so that hopefully we can keep the location close to the majority of u. Thanks again guys.

If you have trouble finding the film I can get it for you.

Adolph Gasser's in SF has TONS of great film and they can custom order film for you as well.

Soon as I get a tripod I'm picking up some 25 speed film and doing a rain shoot on my car.

 

eastbay > southbay

 

Santa Cruz > ANYbay

 

Gasser's is expensive as hell tho, I usually go to Calumet, but thats way out on Bryant. I go to the Academy of Art U. in SF, so we get discounts at Calumet, which is nice.

I would love to see how your rain shoot goes, thats a very interesting idea!

 

If yer a hippie!!

 

you gonna put your ricer wing back on the evo? I already have mine...

 

Velvia will give nice saturated colors for the pics...good choice! I suggest you use a circular polarizer as well. The polarizer will really make the paint "pop". I'm sure you already know this but make sure and bracket your shots like crazy as the reflections of the cars' paint can throw off the meter. Good luck!
