Wah you're still alive (here)! :bsmilie:

Anyway peeps, my brother wants a favour from me. He and his group of friends (PS3 gamers) wanna take a group picture of themselves and their cars. Like, posing2 la for momento b4 their road trip in Oct. Was thinking of rounding up like maximum 5 of you guys, incl myself. So any 4 interested snappers who wish to take pics of ah-beng/modified/pimped cars? Tentative date is next Sunday morning 1st August. Location will be released thru pm later coz haven't decided yet.

Ps: I'm just exaggerating on the ah-beng/mod/pimped cars. Thats just applicable to my brother's. ;p

Season 2! Lemme jump in a little!

Too bad I can't post here as often as you peeps here, cos it's really hectic at the workplace. Would definitely be interested in any follow-up of the 1st outing, since I couldn't make it for the first one...

koplady11, that's quite an interesting assignment to engage Eastern Snappers! They ought to wash and polish their rides the day before the shoot, maybe even strobe a little to put their cars in good light? (depends on time-frame of that morn, plus shoot environment)

And, imho unfortunately, I'm doing s/w development too...

Well, apparently my bro told me his car is not the beng-est car among the grp, and judging from how he takes care of his car, I gotta a feeling these guys' rides would be super duper shiny la. Unless got flood at the carpark. :bsmilie:

I'm still a newbie and has no experience in shooting cars, so I'm just giving this opportunity to anyone here, who preferably has prior experience and wld be able to guide others as well, to lead the shoot. I'm just consolidating names. Haha. Dun even know where to get those guys to go to! Any suggestions?? ;p

finally! i can use my UWA :bsmilie:

suggestion... look for a multi storey car park with open roof? then i can park myself opposite or near the carpark. I can put my UWA to use there. Should be elevated enough.

sorry i dun drive... so dunno where got such carparks.

Googled car photoshoots in Singapore before I saw your reply. Location-wise, lot's of people love hitting the new Marina Bay Sands vicinity due to the fantastic backdrop it provides. Furthermore, shots are done quite early in the morn, or evening period, where the ambient light is really great. Composition-wise, I observed lots of panning shots that catch the vehicles in fluid motion. One such thread lies here: http://forum.miata.net/vb/showthread.php?t=351706 and some similar ones I caught in CS over the past weeks..

You would wanna consider roping in someone who can managed the composition well in a car photoshoot. I have zilch experience in shooting cars, so just pushing some ideas out to play ard with. Moreover you have a week more to figure out the details of the shoot!

I did observed some WA-ish captures in my searches, with heavy usage of leading lines to give the sense of distance and reach that the vehicle could achieve.

For MS-carparks, would have to find one where the top level is relatively empty, so can provide more breathing room to park the cars at a good angle for desirable shooting.

Shaw tower (beach road, or was it shaw center, always get the name wrong haha), got an open air carpark... but to be elevated... i will need to climb on a ladder :sweat:
