well thats a crapy way of putting it.

but good choice.

 

Michael: of the two that Kith just posted (post #422), I like the first one. I think the angle of that picture, the slight blue glow of the dash, and the cool ring of light from the brake lights, are all top notch.

 

Loren...we need to make a sample based on what MP5 did in post 410. This would be his final. He wants his first sample.

 

ok after many many days of pondering i think we have a winner..
ladys and gent introducing sample #4 as the pick for me.
also had some input from my lady friend, she agreed with snowflake.
so good choice ladys, and guys....

 

You want #4 as is or with the other center pic? at the angle?

 

center pic at the angle. iwas told that the pic that was dead center made it look like
someone had stole the seats out of the car except for one...

 

ok i have to go bowl now.

 

did you still want to change the first small pic....as you previously stated?

 

Keith - read #429

 

Michael, do you still want these corrections made?

 

Keith - see #429

He wants sample four with the center pic at the angle and the lambo changed to vertical

 

sample 4 with lambo changed to vertical. other then that the setup is a go...



thank you

Cesar I was thinking about getting some pictures out here on Saturday morning like around 7:30-8ish maybe later. This could be your finall calender image?. There are also the dinsours for some images and the windmill fields. Let me know so we can go out together. I will be heading toward Calimesa that day any way, I think early morning will do best for lighting conditions. Beside this carport there is also the large hotel tower.

 

- Sorry, Long Post -

That picture is the valet spot at Morongo. It's where you unload passengers.
It would be very hard to pull-off a picture there because security is extremely tight. They wouldn't let you park and take shots of your car.
If you look at the first picture, the car is facing the direction in which all traffic flows. If I parked there even for a minute, I would be facing the carport, not the camera.

Did you take those?
I'd be curious to know what time of day they were taken, and if the casino was even finished yet.
The only time I've seen it that empty was when I took a tour of the casino before it was finished.
I can't imagine any time during daylight were it would be that empty now.
It's empty at 3am on a weekday, but that's about it.
I've been racking my brain for a good casino picture, but as far as I know, there's none around here that will be empty enough unless I go at some crazy hour in the morning.
Morongo Saturday morning might work if I got there at sun up, around 7am, but then I'd have to leave my house around 6 for that. Also, as mentioned above, there's the issue of facing the wrong way.

I'm definitely going to my friends house this weekend to take pictures in his driveway.
If I get something else, that's cool too, but at least I'll have the main pic done.
For the smaller pics, we can use some from autocross or meets.

 

My Mods list condensed.
Is this OK, or too long still?

MazdaSpeed Dual Sport Exhaust
ACT Flywheel/Clutch
Unorthodox Pulleys
Racing Beat Sway Bars
Tein S-Tech Springs
Greddy Struts Bars
JVC KD-DV5100
JL Audio Speakers/Sub/Amps
Racing Beat Oil/AC Screens

 

Cesar, your mod list is fine.

Are you a member of that casino....? Maybe calling the person in charge of security and ask if there would be a possibility of coming up early in the morning to take pics. Maybe give him a time frame of how long you would like to be there...?

I would agree though, would be impossible to pull of without receiving permission to be there. You weren't with us last year when we did the "night shoot"...but we got kicked out of Victoria Gardens before even getting out of our cars. They wouldn't allow photos to be taken under any circumstance. I'm sure the casino is the same.

 

Maybe Bring This Years Calender To Show Them What We Are Doing?

 

I have connections. One of my best friends is assistant to the head of security.
That's how I was able to go there before they opened.
I'll see what I can do, but I won't hold my breath.

 

loren: did you get a chance to make those changes to my mod lits? Thanks!

 

Jedi...we finished your page last week...made the changes that were requested. We hope to have all the pages, as well as the lower calendar section done by tonight (excluding Cesar's page as he has not yet submitted his pics---planning a shoot for the weekend or will have to resort to old pics)....we will post up final versions for close inspection in a thread in the multimedia section (post count friendly of course)....or maybe Loren can email you the final version....either way, I think we got your corrections.

EDIT: I think I actually worked on your page, if so, I can email you a version tonight.
