Import Showdown - Fall 2013

[David88vert]

Here we go again,

More parking lot car pictures and a little race car pictures,

Where are the race car engine pictures?
where are the front end shots of the few wheelies?
Where are the pictures of the winners circle to see who won?

Engine pics? Hard to get when hoods are closed.
Front end shots? Have you ever been to SDR? It's not Commerce. There aren't a lot of good places to get head on shots there without a $10K lens or permission to get next to the wall from the track - which they did not provide.
Winner's circle? I only stayed until 4pm. No one was paying me to stay to the end.

If you want different photos, bring your own camera, or pay someone to take the photos that you want. Right now, all I see is you whining that free photos aren't what you want. When you pay someone to take pictures, then you tell them what they should or should take photos of.

Well if you want to get pictures from cars you see everyday in the street you just sit down next to 285 and start shooting to the same shit i use to see on a daily basis,

Thing is not about the picture quality is the car selection buddy, is like going to a motocross race to take pictures, and you waste all the pictures outside on the parking lot with all the Harleys, and crutch rockets,

IMHO not only LAME but SUPER LAME,

trust me if i was the photographer i would do way better job than you 110% but i am ok just by criticize your lame job,
Probably next time you do better!

I have met plenty of people like you before - "if I wanted to, I could", blah, blah, blah. All talk, all complaints, no action.

Here's a suggestion for you: Use the red X at the top right corner of the screen. Don't come back into a photo thread and whine like a little child.

I will continue to do, and you will continue to pretend that you could.

Constructive criticism is welcome - from those that actually have knowledge of a subject. You haven't shown that you have knowledge about photography, and you haven't offered any real constructive criticism that is actually applicable to any of the photos, or shooting at SDR.

If you actually read and comprehended my previous post, you would look again and see that you aren't going to get engine photos when the hoods are closed, you aren't going to get winner's circle photos if you aren't there to the end of the day, and you aren't going to get front views of wheelies without longer lenses or media passes to get up by the wall at SDR. On one side, it is fenced off, and on the other, there is a dip below track level. That means that you would have to be shooting at almost a 1/4 out to get a good head-on shot at SDR if you are on the outside of the fence. Get it yet?

You shoot better with your phone? Sure you have. I believe what I see, and I haven't seen any quality photos from you yet. I sure hope that you aren't referring to the photos of all of the unfinished/abandoned projects in the Builds forum.

Like I said earlier, use the red X and you can avoid seeing photos you aren't interested in.

LOL you are clearly thru the roof hahahahaha, read and comprehend sweetie, i did tell you is not about your picture quality, is the pictures itself, you choose to take pictures of shity cars from the parking lot (THE SAME CARS YOU SHOOT AT EVERY MEET) and didnt took the pictures of the event or the cars of the event the right way, i bet if you talk to the owners they will be more than pleased to lift the hood to let you shoot pictures of their machines but you FAIL at it as well as you choose excuses to not shoot better pictures and then the biggest FAIL, when you said (THEY DONT PAY ME TO STAY TO SHOOT THE WINNERS CIRCLE) that is just plain and simple FAIL dude, again is not about the quality of your pictures and never was, your pictures are OK,
Then you now mix things about me with unfinished projects? LOL now you are making me laugh, but i wont fell into that, is clear you get this personal and the wad in your panties dont let you think straight!

I'm not your "buddy" or "sweetie". I don't know you, and you don't know me, and right now, I prefer to keep it that way.

I shoot whatever I want to shoot. If you are paying me, then you can tell me what you want. I don't shoot for you or your desires. How about I tell you what specs that I think that you should build your own personal car to (and not be paying you)? Then you can go and build your car my way, rather than your way. I seriously doubt that you would consider that as good advice.

As I stated before - I did not stay to the end, so exactly how would I shoot the winners when I didn't choose to stay that late? I've already explained the track layout, so I won't rehash that, but do you realize that most of the eliminations happened after I left - they were delayed by rain and oildowns. So, tell me, how many runs exactly did I get a chance to shoot? How many cars actually pulled wheelies? Here's a hint - two, and there are photos with them lifted already - ^^see above^^. Do you even know that FWD cars don't lift the front tires?
You weren't there, and you obviously don't know the track layout on where the fences are - if you want to see a specific angle then show up and view it for yourself. Don't sit at home and then rely on others to deliver for free to you what you want.

The only photos that I have seen you post before yesterday have been of projects you are starting or working on - never a finished project. I have yet to see you post any photos of any of your cars going down the track. I have never seen you post any photos that you have taken at SDR either. Why should I take you seriously?

SGMP, Commerce, Lagrange, Phenix, Twiggs, Moroso, etc - these you can get a decent spot to shoot head-on, outside of the fences. SDR is different with wider fences and lower locations. Get it yet?

Red X, upper right corner - it is calling your name....
