yeap machan cus of the big crowd didnt met few, but theres always a second chance

Dilesh, I have no words to say bro, especially the pics of Gihan's car are awesome.

yeah machan im lovn all those 7 pics Dilesh took of my car, those are some awesome Photography, all the pics are superb,

Watchman · January 12, 2009

Dilesh, you have chosen some fantastic angles for those photos, and you truly have a good eye for photography even if your HDR/tone mapping is extreme
look forward to seeing the rest of the photos you took!

Thanks saturn!

yep, the shadows/tone is something i'm experimenting with these days. Still havent reached the top of the leaerning curve Thats probably the same thing HellRazor was referring to as well i'm not that big a fan of cloud-filled skied cos it almost always looks simply overexposed. So i've been trying out some new colour tones for such skies these days

Watchman · January 12, 2009

Dilesh, I have no words to say bro, especially the pics of Gihan's car are awesome.

yup a nice feed@Hijra

GihanFX · January 12, 2009

yup a nice feed@Hijra

ohh, what time ?

Kim · January 12, 2009

Dilesh..i feeling so J for that pic of gihanFX car..damn!! i wish, that i could have gone home and come in other car

Saturn's photos were nice too, and Peri's are always great he've been doing this from long time ne..

we should arrange a photo-shoot day, with music, with food, don't you think so MADZ? then we can easily get nice photos of our rides, and as well as that of us with the rides - free of charge of course, i will make that list of names and e-mail address, so that the photographers can mail individual photos..hehe.

btw..i remember a different saturn during the AutoLanka meet up we had in Negambo - or closer to negambo, in Primart or something, Z? can u remember?? or was he someone else?

too bad i missed Bharath's treat..aiyoo..

saw Mr.GTR but couldn't talk to him

Devinda_Z · January 12, 2009

really .....and here i was thinking that some people left their "lady" at home because she had a drinking problem
anyway you more than made up for it by saving my life remember......otherwise i would be in pieces by now courtesy of the good ol' "udarata menike"

:lol:

i think it was most likely the Ruhunu Kumari which nearly took you out! ...& technically we should all be thanking Grand Civic for the heads up

Devinda_Z · January 12, 2009

ohh, what time ?

this was after everything was wrapped up machan- close to 9 if i recall right...

Devinda_Z · January 12, 2009

ah yes i remember the outing - but that blokes handle was 'Satan' machan!

Kim · January 12, 2009

yeah..we MUST, it wasn't grand civic who took me out, tall, fair, guy whom went in a civic, whos that? anyways, thanks a lot for saving us!

Kim · January 12, 2009

ah yes i remember the outing - but that blokes handle was 'Satan' machan!

rite! it was close..hellrazor looked quite like him..but i didn't wanna take a chance of asking him :rolleyes:

Devinda_Z · January 12, 2009

rite! it was close..hellrazor looked quite like him..but i didn't wanna take a chance of asking him

i can see a slight similarity! - just that Hellrazor is broader and Satan taller - similar handles as wel; just realized- bottom line, neither is 'slight' :lol:

I'm nowhere this time machang. I really wasn't into it with the crowd and with the limited space. Those two have really gone outside the box.

As for the shoot idea, we tried that. My conclusion is that you really can't manage with a lot of cars, if your planning on doing all the cars. 2-3 cars is about it for the day. Unless you have the locations ready and keep things going like a conveyor belt. And then it all looks the same. If you take the time to move around and look to make each one unique, it takes time, and then you can't do a lot. Both Dilesh and I took Pila's and Sharky's cars, and it kept us busy the whole day. Of course the third member was too tired to push the clutch and drive such a long way <_< And I got caught in a minor storm so I had mud on mine.

haha! thanks

As for a shoot as peri said it does take a fair bit of time unless you have the cars all ready to drive in and out of the exact spot you plan to photograph them at. But ten it does become quite monotonous. But hey, we have quite a few shutter-friendly people in the forum, so you can always split the cars up.. though sadly i wont be able to make it if its anytime in the near future...

MasterDon · January 12, 2009

Again nice pics Saturn. Way to go.
I see Helrazor left his key on the boot opener.

yep...forgot to take it back after opening the boot to show devinda the t-top layout....must have been a good half-hour untill i realised the key was missing

MasterDon · January 12, 2009

True. 2-3 sounds good, max of 5 cars perhaps... anything more and it may be hard to photo each car creatively.

I'd suggest a place near a carwash so the cars could be given a last quick wash and a bit of road space - doesn't need much but at least a little area between car and background, perhaps even space for a slow driveby for motion photos.. also preferrably when there's sunlight.

Gihan - I'd definitely like to take some more photos of your car - send me a PM sometime

GihanFX · January 12, 2009

Gihan - I'd definitely like to take some more photos of your car - send me a PM sometime
