Import Alliance 2010 Nashville

Here was a small synopsis of my weekend at Import Alliance. Though we were all running on almost no sleep we still managed to have fun.

The crew before we rolled out. Meeting location was at Books A Million at 8am.

We then moved out to Walmart to goof around for a bit.

After staying the night at Friday we had to wake up at 4am Saturday to pick up some breakfast and head to Nashville Superspeedway. Surprisingly, there were still hundreds of cars in front of us in line at 6:30am.

After the first day we headed to Wynns Burgers and Ice Cream for a meet. We decided to leave early because our cars were being blocked in. Haha. Too many cars.

For day 2 we WERE supposed to wake up at 4 but ended up waking up at 8. I think everyone just needed some sleep.

Yum Continental breakfast!

Black and White

For some time now, I have been shooting in black and white. Something about it just gives it a new image. I just bump up the ISO to 400 and it gives me nice photos. Just something about it...

Ipod Touch


My brother's Glasses...


My SB-600 Flash




Iron? I have no idea what I was thinking when taking this.



History


Dante's Inferno


Now, that is a lot of pages...



And finally, that is me. I need a haircut. Haha.

Amplive

I have been listening to a lot of Amplive lately. He is on top of his game. Is a really good remix artist. Here is his site for some free downloads. http://amplivesworld.com/

Here are a few of his videos if you are interested. I like them a lot.

Random


Just a picture I liked. I know, it is not the best. But, I like it. I still need to adjust the coloring and white balance though. I need to start shooting in RAW(NEF) to get the best out it.

Baldwin's Del Sol

This photoshoot was a long while back but nonetheless it was my first shoot. Not the best rolling shots but now that I have researched a bit, I know what to do now.I enjoyed shooting Baldwin's Del Sol. It was probably the lowest one I have ever seen and the color of the car just sets it off. This car is really trendy and would like to see more of it in the future. Here are the pics.


Form and Function Coilovers ftw!



Baldwin Working on putting the rears on. Not to mention, it was balls cold outside.



Coilovers in place.



Sill shots.







You know he has to be rubbing like crazy. Tsk tsk.



Crappy rolling shots. Still learning.







That's all folks! Lol.

New Car Season

Just got word that March Madness is going to be on the 27th of March at the Clarksville Superspeed Way. It is finally starting to warm up and all the nice cars are starting to come out. The car meets at Books A Million are showing numbers in the mid 50's and it is only the beginning of Spring. I cannot wait for all the cars shows to begin and for my photography skills to come into play. Unfortunately, I will not be able to make it the March Madness this weekend because I work. I will post pictures of the show though. Don't worry. Time for work! Goodbye!

The All State

Well, after much consideration and after I have seen my techniques become better over time, I have decided to try and get a job at the All-State as a photographer, The newspaper at Austin Peay. Hopefully, I will get a job. The pay is not much and I will be quite busy but, I will enjoy doing it and expanding my horizons is not a bad idea either. And another upside is that I will be able to use higher end cameras and lenses. This weekend has been busy. Not only do I have an Economics test on Monday but, I have an Accounting assignment due Monday also. Sigh. Back to the daily grind...
