Be prepared for a long night if you want night shots. You also need somebody willing to spend some time with Photoshop too. The lighting in those 2 pictures is awesome.

Be prepared for a long night if you want night shots. You also need somebody willing to spend some time with Photoshop too. The lighting in those 2 pictures is awesome.
Locations:
* Deep Ellum is always a good call. On a weeknight you can get moderate activity but still have a good chance of integrating the many murals into the shot. Weekends are just crazy.
* White Rock Lake has several good locations if you're going for a desolate night shot or two. You can use the overlook at Peavy/Buckner and get a sweeping shot with downtown in the background.
* Keller's Hamburgers at NW Hwy/Abrams for neon like the Cobra shot that someone posted.
* Victory Square with the giant moving display screens in the background could give you some incredible night shots, and isn't too crowded since most of the stuff around there is still under construction.
* You might find some good street shots in and around Lower Greenville on a weekend night.
*The top floors of the new parking garages at NorthPark could give you some nice shots if you want the city in the background.
Ummmm.....

All seem like great suggestions.Quote:

So...? Weather is warmer br, hop to!
I just got a nice shiny new "L" lens I wanna try out.
Maybe we can hijack a Wednesday night meet and turn it into a Wednesday night photoshoot!
I'd be down for that!Quote:

I can do Photoshopping depending on what u've got in mind? Just little work you can change backgrounds, car colors, window tint, ect......Quote:

I'm thinking Downtown Big D might have some cool back drops or we could even do a Fort Worth venue. Heck we could do both and everything in between. Let's just drive around and see what we find. Some warehouse districts, Dallas night sky line. Los Colinas Mustangs at night. Fort Worth Sundance Square. Let me look at my calander and see what weekends I have open.
If we do the drive around, we need to bring some FRS so we can talk as we drive around. I used to just drive around back in the day with my Miata buds. Good times!
Here is a few photos from back then.

Black Roadster... I like the turn signal vents on the M1, Where did you get them and how much were they?
I would be willing to donate my time and cameras for the photo shots. I have a Nikon D200, a Nikon D70, a medium format Mamiya 645 and a LARGE format (4"x5") Speedgraphx. I'd shoot the digital for free, but for the others I'd need to charge for the film and processing ONLY! Digital is nice, but nothing beats a big negitive with nice lens.
In a couple of months the wild flowers will be out. The state park in Cleburne used to have a whole field with Blue Bonnetts, but the last couple of year it has been to dry. I'm not sure if this year will be any better.

The 645 and more so the RB67 is the work horse for studio work, but digital is catching up fast. The next generation of digital will pass up the 645 and the 67 will be in its sights.
Thank you. Previous owner installed them for me. One of the few things I liked and kept. Moss sells them here.Quote:

Thank you. I did not realize exactly what they cost..... I think that my membership in TCB requires that I spend the precious monetary resources at my disposal on things that slightly more performance / handling oriented. At the same time I think that I will make an attempt to reproduce these with materials at my disposal... ie. duct tape, and plastic bags. Or whatever I can manage to figure out.Quote:
