The long exposure shots turned out great, If he just had a good portable light or two, it would go a long way as far as fill flash goes. I use Mobilite, but there are alot of good ones.

Also, These remind me of GTA4! They really did do a great job of capturing NYC on that game, huh?

Thanks, AK! I like that pic, too; funny story about the pictures taken in that area - when we scouted that location, it was all wide open, and they were prepping for construction of the adjacent park. When we came back two weeks later, everything was closed off under the bridge area because they were about to start construction. Luckily two security guard guys rolled by (I think they originally wanted to know what we were up to), and I was able to persuade them (via a handful of crumped Washingtons and Lincolns) to let us into the gated area to take some pics under the Brooklyn Bridge :tup:

I'm waiting for my friend to get his E92 m3 (it's on the ship from Germany). Once he gets his, I want to do a photoshoot. His E92 m3, 135i, 335i coupe and my 370Z (maybe we can add your car to the mix). :tup:

BTW, your screen name reminds me of this video :bowrofl:

I agree - GTA4 did a very nice rendition of NYC, but I also feel like its too straight-forward in trying to be nitty gritty or dirty, if that makes sense. The city invokes many sentiments; it can be amazing and beautiful with its myriad of bars, lights and spectacles, which leave you wanting more, until you step in a pile of trash or someone's vomit from last night haha.

Do you have any locations in mind? One of the primary goals of this shoot was to avoid just throwing the car in a location and then taking pictures, which is pretty standard fare. The car(s) should interact with the environment in a way that makes the viewer see or think about things (whatever they may be) in a different light; our cars are interesting enough by themselves, the problem is finding an environment that matches it ;)

Thanks Jeff! The plate is a New York State specialty plate - War on Terror Veteran. Hopefully I can keep it forever as the newer NY plates are hideous (though I might need a replacement because the front one is slightly bent as I park on the streets - I think its noticeable in some pictures).

I have the new style plates on my DD Civic, but that car is also a weird gray color so I guess it really emphasizes the mismatching colors of the plate. I can kinda see how it might work on a black car, especially at night. But, if you ever feel like getting back into the blue and white style, I think they still make custom plates in that scheme; plus you have a plethora of plate choices since the state is so broke - you've got everything from "I <3 NY AGRICULTURE" (wtf?) to "LOVE THE LIBRARY" (yay?).

Other than the little park by Verezanno Bridge, this is the only other place everyone does their photoshoot at (Brooklyn people that is).

Invite for next photoshoot though please! Black and White yo!

You should drive up here haha. Not to trying to self-ingratiate, but I feel like if you can drive in the city, you can drive anywhere in the world, from Arizona to Kabul.

Thanks! I really liked the crosswalk stripes also; they're like free racing stripes for the car haha. And its like their reflections make the Z look like a lion in zebra's clothing.

I also got my motorcycle license recently, and was looking at a FZR6 - any thoughts on that bike?

Oh sweet, thanks for the shoutout on the FB page! I think the multiple cars give a ton of possibilities -imagine the cars all lined up on 6th Ave!

Wow! As a photographer myself I can say that was some serious work and you produced some beautiful sharp and creative images. And the Z looks hot!

Cool pics!

Random question...are tinted tail lights the "in" thing in the ny/nj area? I feel like almost every car I see posted from that area has tinted tails. Not just this site either...the bmw and vw forums I visit as well.

CrownR426

06-30-2010 12:54 AM

Yes, here in the area its common for tinted tails and windows.

It is rather ubiquitous - there's a dude with a white Camry on my block who tinted his tails... and I've even seen it on clunky color-faded minivans :ugh2: But I tinted mine because I felt like there was just too much taillight; too much red in the rear. And I only partially tinted the taillights on my car so its "different" haha.

Did another session in the same general location at 3am yesterday; here's one of the pictures from that shoot - sort of like a preview haha. Had to do a bit of... 'trespassing' to get the shot, but I think it was well worth it :tiphat:

Hey thanks for the all positive feedback! We did another shoot on Tuesday morning; some of the shots were extremely experimental/avant garde, and I actually really like it, though I can understand if its not up to par with everyone's taste. The photos are also up on Flickr (which someone linked to earlier, thanks!). I think the next shoot, we're going to try as much as possible to not shoot the car directly, in its entirety.
