Hey everyone! I wanted to make an opportunity for those RX-8 owners in SoCal to get some pictures of their cars and maybe make a few more friends and spend some time with some really friendly owners.

For those of you who don't know, I'm a college student who attends the University of Montana but I'm from Orange County and I love photography. I'm still a bit new but I think I'm improving. I love taking HDR pictures and the stunning ways it makes anything look. I'll be visiting SoCal for a week over Thanksgiving starting tomorrow and I was hoping to maybe hold a little photoshoot with all of the local 8 owners to get a chance to hang out and catch up with everyone. I would really appreciate any owners willing to come out. Any pics I take, I'll make available to anyone in full res so if you would like to have it for a print or even just a computer desktop image, just let me know and I'll send them to you via email.

I'd like to hold this little photoshoot THIS SUNDAY AFTERNOON! Sorry for such short notice but I've only just finalized my travel plans as well as obligations over this week. Hopefully I'd like to hold it in a place that's convenient for everyone who wants to come. So if you'd like to attend, please let me know where you're coming from so I can try and scout a location in the area on Saturday afternoon. I'd ideally like to hold this in Orange County, maybe in the Irvine / Tustin area as there is usually plenty of places to take photos with a big group but any suggestions are appreciated.

If you have any questions, please let me know! You can pm me on this forum and I'll try and get back to everyone as quickly as possible. If you can attend this event, please let me know!

If you know any other owners who would like to have their cars photographed, let them know! The more the merrier!

Also, if you can't attend this event, I'll try to have another while I'm down in socal for Christmas break.

Thank you everyone and hopefully I'll get to see you guys this Sunday afternoon.

For those of you who don't know what HDR is and how it looks, feel free to browse my picture threads here on the forums, but here are a few of my car to get you guys an idea.

Hey, ok, so I was thinking of starting the photoshoot at 3:30 so we can get some day shots in while also getting some with the sunset. For right now, I think we should meet at a main location and then move since I still haven't found a really good spot to take some pictures yet. I'm kinda thinking of either the Tustin Marketplace or the Irvine Spectrum to meet at.

If anyone has any experience in the area and knows of a few good spots, please let me know! I'd really appreciate it. I'm going to scout a bit this morning and try to find a few locations.

You guys can also get in contact with me at my cell which is: 406-214-9660

I'll try and post here through the morning to keep everyone updated. If you want, you can also give me a call and let me know of anything since I'll probably be out and about.

Thanks everyone, and hopefully, we'll see you all this afternoon!

 

see you then!

 

u might be able to count Izzy and myself.... in ... will keep u updated

 

noiiiice! I might be bringing a few friends. A matte black 350z and a subbie wrx. get some variety up in this bitch

 

Ok, let's finalize this up now, I'm thinking of meeting up at 3:30 at the staging lot for sevenstock just outside of mazda north america, we can get a few photos there and maybe move to the irvine spectrum and get a few there as well, does that sound good to everyone?

 

kewl I think I'll go

 

sounds good to me. I didn't go to sevenstock though, fml. Whats the address?

 

Its just off of irvine center drive and the 405 freeway, I don't know the address off the top of my head
