I am looking for 99-01 Cobras and 98-02 F-bodys for photo oppurunities.

The criteria is as follows:
Car must appear stock from the outside (ie:no aftermarket body kits or wings)
Preferably the car should be brighter in color (ie: not black, sorry guys not my choice here)
Be available on Saturday afternoons or Sundays, as this is when we will be shooting.
If you have a spot in mind for the shoot that is a plus, but not required.*

All interested parties should e-mail me at uthinkso2@comcast.net

should I assume that those of us that were at the shoot up north need not apply? or do I REALLY need to wash my car and get it clean this time?

 

Im stock appearing right?

 

I have a white 96WS6 Formula that is stock. Not a 98 up but only 524 made. Not one you see alot of.

Actually Andy your color seems to shoot like crap for some reason.

I shot Rod's car last weekend, and although it wasn't ideal conditions the shots were pretty miserable.

The lighter the car the better really, but it all depends on sun position.

If you don't know how to shoot a black car with a body kit in sunlight or in the shade then you don't know how to use a camera! Man all this criteria for a photo.... Just giving you crap!

How about a stock 99 Z28 convertible in white? that bright enough for you?

1999 Black Z
!!SOLD!!

2002 Silver Z order 4-10-02. Waiting to be accepted by the plant.

 

Both the white car and the silver car sound like possibilities. Contact me at uthinkso2@comcast.net for details.

Alot of magazine photographers liek to stray from black cars for two reasons. A) Why waste money on a feature that canbe done in black and white, and B) the glare issue is hard to surmount.

 

Hmmm I have some sweet pics of the car, so I dont think my car shoots like crap, but thanks anyway.........

"Alot of magazine photographers like to stray from black cars for two reasons."

I have seen NUMEROUS black cars on covers, they look good if the photographer knows what their doing!!!

The color is tough to work with, no doubt about it. Most all dark colors are ask any photographer amatuer or professional. Call "crap" a loose camera term I spose.

That must be it Andy, I haven't a clue what I'm doing.

Let me rephrase here. Black, NBM, and Darker Colors in Gernal are a pain to work with. Specifically because you have to **** with the sun and make sure it is on the car but not too much. Sometimes you even have to wait it out, or you can use a warming filter to try and make a car full of shadows brighter. Which with an NBM car like yours tends to turn purpleif you use too strong of a filter. Then you get your slides back and the nice NBM SS you took shots of is now "Barney Purple".

I know a good photographer would catch this right? WRONG!! Your average photographer shoots 3-5 rolls on a car, sometimes more. Thats neither here nor there though.

Take Joe's SS for example. I shot that a few weeks back and it came out great, but because his paint is so damn shiny it casted a major glare. That became a problem that I actually had to wait out.

All said and done, any photographer who knows what they are doing can make a car look good. Its just a matter of the magazine wasting print dollars on a black car (which I don't agree with) or spending the extra time to get the car right. Unless it is really something special, most folks won't take the time.

Now a few people ahve asked what this is for. I am a field photographer for a company called Johnny Lightning. They make the little 1/64 scale cars, kinda like matchbox.

Anyway the call was put out for certain cars and 99-01 Cobras and GT's along with 98-02 F-bodys came up as well. So here I am.

If Johnny Lightning uses your car you get 1 full case (12) cars with you name on the photo card. From there your car will be used as the model and the photo card in the packaging that goes around the world will be a picture of your car. Pretty cool stuff eh!

So who's interested? uthinkso2@comcast.net

would you consider the grill change on a 35th to be a mod or are you looking to be completely stock?
