[PRO®]

clean. (as in freshly bathed--reference fourth pic, haha)

whatchyagotdonetoit?

[Revmaynard]

I can barely see it....so I'm undecided.

[dabuilding]

i like the shot of the tail light geoff :goodjob:

[PURP]

I hope there is more. Visibility is minimal with the darkness. Whole car shots with good lighting, are in order. Pic quality is great, tho.

[singhondeck]

lookin good from what i can see with my 20/20 vision

[Get-R-Done!]

photography is on point, but im not so sure if I am supposed to be impressed about a stock looking tC

[ATL_e92]

i will have to agree with you get-r-done!!!

[Nemesis]

Ok seriously dude....

Let it be a stock looking Honda and I bet you'd be drooling all over it. That car isn't stock. The only thing that's stock about it is the wheels. That car is clean as hell. Maybe you should go post up on someone else's thread with a bone stock looking civic and give them props like some of the other honda guys do.

Jon, the car is clean as hell, man :goodjob:

I just have a thing for someone who comes in and talk crazy about someone else's cars. If they don't like, they shouldn't post up on what they think, whether or not it's about a "stock tC" or not.

[blackshine007]

^^Check your PM's.

[uproot]

The first one may have been better with more light sources, the tail light shot is great man, well done.

overall awesome, and keep on doin it dude - keep on doin it...

[osnap]

[Dwisforme05]

He's on Hotchkis.

[Kamikaze]

Thanks for the props guys.

Geoff, thanks again for the shoot! Pics came out great! :goodjob:

Shaun, thanks for havin my back. :goodjob:

Jecht, I'm lowered on Hotchkis springs.

To those "unimpressed", this is really more about the photography rather than the car. But if you really feel the need to express your feelings, I made room in my Inbox just for you. :)

[MkMugen]

gee i wish i had a stock car to take pictures of

[.:Stirfry:.]

damn:.. flawless pics,
and clean scion

[Jecht]

Good job being an ass. I wish I had thought about being an rebel and painting BMW bottlecaps pink like you!

Kamikaze - stock struts or aftermarket?

[MkMugen]

that was a general comment, you never see stock cars getting good pics like that, you always see someone killing it with aluminum tail lights or 6 foot wings and etc, you must of read my comment wrong, it had no concern to you

[bandydesign]

Very nice! I know where your sig was taken! I drove by there and thought to myself... what a cool spot for shots and possibly a car meet of epic proportions hmmm


I really like the pic #4. what size are those umbrellas and how are you triggering them?
What ISO were you shooting at?

This is great stuff!

[Terror]

Wow, fantastic pics bro

[Kamikaze]

Good job being an ass. I wish I had thought about being an rebel and painting BMW bottlecaps pink like you!

Lol. I'm still on stock struts. 56k on them total, about 30k with the springs on.

[Jecht]

See, now I will +rep you for not getting so upset over my comment. It seemed sarcastic to me, but I was probably jaded from reading the other comments.

That isn't so bad. I've been seriously looking into buying a new tC and I'm trying to figure what springs I'd like. Thanks for letting me know!

[Kamikaze]

Very nice! I know where your sig was taken! I drove by there and thought to myself... what a cool spot for shots and possibly a car meet of epic proportions hmmm

Yeah man it's a pretty cool place for a shoot. The warehouse lot is huge so there's plenty of room for rolling shots and whatnot. I passed by today but didn't think to look and see if someone has leased it out yet.

reps back for not responding like if u wanted to have a internet fight lol :cheers:

Yeah the struts seem to be good. I haven't had any problems or abnormal wear after installing the springs. If you do get one, try and get the TRD coilovers from the dealer and have it financed with the car. Had they been available when I got my car, that's what I would have done.

[pr8yr]

nicest shoot of a single car ever!

[CHADbee]

love the tail light shot dude! get those umbrella's off those lights ASAP, they just cause larger hotspots. shoot bare bulb and try to hide the reflections in the wheel wells. shots are sharp but theres too many reflections/hotspots from the strobes.

[puregroove]

awesome job, man. you guys are gettin' SERIOUS. :yes:

[Brian*]

Clean Scion

[.blank cd]

I don't know what the beef is between you two but y'all better grill it up and eat it

[Sentra]

would have been sooo much better without umbrellas

[james]

word. nice pics.

[james]

would have been sooo much better without umbrellas


the lighting there was disgusting.

[.blank cd]

^^ I know, I was just trying it with the umbrellas to see what I could come up with. This was kind of a practice run that didnt turn out too bad. Trust me, I got some work in store for youz guysz

[CHADbee]

I don't know what the beef is between you two but y'all better grill it up and eat it
i dont have no beef with the man at all. he is the one that keeps bring up my name and its a really bad decision on his part.


back on the photography thing though, you got to do something about those hotspots, hotshot LOL hide the reflection from the strobes in the wheel wells or other areas and toss umbrella's in the trash :cheers:

[.blank cd]

Preciate the comments guys!

Bandy, I think these are 42" umbrellas, but i'll have to check. I was shooting high ISO. Maybe f/9-11 for these to make sure everything was crisp, and I was triggering with CLS on my D200. Its amazing, It'll trigger the flash in almost any kinda lighting situation as long as i have a line of sight. I could put one behind the car too and get it to flash. I might pick up some pocket wizards later on down the road, but CLS is all I really need for right now.

Thanks Chad. I was trying to see what I could come up with using the different lighting setups. I had some with bare flashes, some with the white umbrellas and some with the silver reflector umbrellas:goodjob:

[WTF?]

nice TC

[atlxpat]

but that is really clean man, nice car

[EL42]

:goodjob: real artsy.

[99jdmLs]

sweet pics and scion man. .

[Sentra]

the lighting there was disgusting.

I wasnt taking it that far. I was just saying that there would have been more evenly spread light on the car if he relocated the lights and took off the umbrellas.

It is by NO means disgusting.
