Hot Women and Fast Cars

Truth in advertising, you were warned. :wink

So this is how I spent my Saturday morning. This was part of a charity fund raising rally for the Las Vegas Ferrari club. The girls and I volunteered our time for pics that are given to the rally entrants. There were 5 or 6 stops that the cars had to make at different locations, and I was the photographer at this one. It was about 100F in that parking lot, no shade, but the girls were really good sports. It was a lot of fun!

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Was it a requirement that the backgrouund be in focus (sponsors)?
    I would like to see some different angles, maybe low and wide. Maybe throw the backgrounds out of focus....

    Yes, it was awful, Richard. The things we do for charity. After the shoot, I borrowed one of the Ferraris and took the girls for a ride, and then we all went back to my penthouse and had an orgy! Oh, wait, I only dreamed that part. lol3.gif

    I would have liked that as well. Yeah, I was supposed to get the owner's sign in the picture, but it was too high. Fortunately, the banner over the door has the business name which was a compromise. I also used a deep DOF to make sure the entire car and multiple models were all in focus. I should have taken some shots just for me with more variety. However, all 30 cars showed up at the same time, and there was a mad rush to get them photographed and on their way. I didn't spend more than 30 seconds on each car. Then suddenly it was all over. If I do this again, I think I'll try to spend more time with some of the nicer cars. mwink.gif Thanks for your input.

    Just as a follow up, the calendar they produced from this event is now available, so I got to see which shots were picked. There were a total of 17 photographers who participated in the event. I was hoping one of my shots were picked. Imagine my surprise to see that TWO of my shots were used. :wow

    Here's the calendar advert. I'm March and December (#3 and #12). :ivar wings.gif

    I didn't think they were so hot, but there's no accounting for taste I guess. rolleyes1.gif

    Thanks for letting me gloat a little. :D
