2010 Sunset Gold Metallic Mustang

We're back with two more photos from the parking garage! Yes, I think the black car looks freakin' fabulous...because it's mine. But everything else is so much easier to photograph. And more fun to edit. Colors are pretty. Haha! This is our friend Trent's V6 Mustang...and he found the location for us. We've attempted to photograph his car with the lights twice before, always forgetting an important detail...the cord connecting the battery to the strobe... the adapter that holds the octabox on... third time's a charm I guess! Trent, hope it was worth the wait! Note to everyone... check lists. Learn 'em. Love 'em. Use 'em. ;)

2013 5.0 Mustang

We've had the 2013 5.0 Mustang for a month now (traded in the 2008). Packed with the brembo brakes, 3:73 gears, & recaro seats, she's hit 2000 miles, been around Texas World Speedway, and become very well loved already. But until last night, we hadn't gotten any good pics of her (outside of the track, more on that later). In the middle of more than a week straight of rain, we gave her a quick wash and headed across town to a new parking garage. And then promptly got rained on again today. Hmph. The washing was worth it tho. See for yourself ;)



Equipment used:
Canon 5D Mk III, Canon 17-40 f4L, Canon 70-200 f/2.8L IS
Photogenic StudioMax III strobe, 3' Octabox, Canon 580 EX II, 16" Softbox

I Race In Heels

As if we didn't have enough going on? A few years ago I realize what a lack of automotive clothing & accesories there are out there that area actually geared toward females. There's plenty of us out there that enjoy racing down the drag strip or flying around the road course and enjoy wearing heels otherwise. So I decided to tie the two together. Now if I can just figure out how to get photography tied in there, I'd be good to go! Please check out my other adventure : IRaceInHeels.com!

Location Location Location

Seems like I've been in a rut lately when it comes to finding decent locations. I think its pretty tough with car stuff sometimes. It's not like you can just throw on a 50mm f/1.2L like Rebecca does with portraits and make the background a blur in a razor thin depth of field.

A friend of mine found a little location in the back of a subdivision. As we where driving in I was not exactly sure what to expect. To the naked eye, there was not much to shoot and the sun was a little bright that day. But pair it with a 5d Mark II & a 24-105L, and this little nook turned out just fine.
