Pesonally I think you'd be better off taking shots of your own car, think the pic's will be more memorable...don't get a studio session with your own car that often and nice to have on the wall in 30x20...

Just IMO of course, I'll shoot whatevers there

 

If you do all you'll get is pictures of me with my pants down

 

Have I missed something

 

Macro or Telephoto??

 

That is true. Will be nice to have some studio shots of the scooby.

 

 

yup. 8 hours in the studio, 4 cars + 2 hours per car max.

 

Aaahhhh, I got the impression it was gonna be just 2 hours in the studio.

Where is it? I only ask as we should, obviously, get there early but what if the cars get dirty on the way? we need to factor in some time for frayz to clean them while we are there

Have we all got Canon's I've only got an 18-55, 70-200 & a mahoosive 135-400 that I doubt I'll use

 

No I have a proper camera (2 actually) Nikon D200 and D70 with 18-70, 70-200 F2.8 VR and a 10-20 which may come in quite handy.

Good point on the cleaning.

 

Guys, 3rd March is taken. 17th?

 

Should be ok. NOT the 10th though.

 

No good for me I'm afraid

 

24th? We need Photo Guru Dave there!!

 

I go to India on the 23rd +

 

what we going to do then guys?

 

24th is ok with me but I can do mid-week with no problem either

 

Any mid week date is fine for me guys, anything as long as its not a Sunday.

If it causes probs for you lot, someone else can have my place.

 

I'll check my rota today (bloody work getting in the way again)

Same here, got to go with the majority...

 

Thing is we've got a 50/50 split at the moment

Any date is fine with me but please I beg of you, not the 10th.....

spoke to studio and they normally only do 2 cars per day. 4 hours per car, that's a long time on each. guess that is for commercial stuff though.

 

I don't know about you but 2 hours per car seems generous.

I guess that manouvering the cars and adjusting lighting etc will take time though.

 

Yeah i think 2 hours will be plenty. even if you said it'll take an hour to get the angles and lighting right. Still leaves and hour to take the pictures.

Shall i find out about mid week availability?

 

Will someone help me out with the actual picture taking etc, i know exactly nothing about photography

 

Of course we will. There should be someone from the Studio that will help out too.

 

Fine with me

 

 

Any update?

 

sorry it's taken so long guys. just heard that the guy who runs the studio is folding the company as a customer is having trouble paying him and it's lead to the company going bust. The studio hire is just a small sideline.

on the upside, the weather is looking like it's going to get a bit better so perhaps an outdoor shoot in a few weeks time?
