Description
+ Welp, today's photoshoot didn't really go as planned. Felie and I have been planning today for about a week now. ...but I forgot to call the rain gods and tell them to cancel their festivities for today. Doh! Ah well, overcast skies and intermittent showers happen in life. Because of the bad weather we only went to one location; an abonded Builders Square parking lot. That pavement was still wet and I was hoping we could capitalize on that. ....we didn't. Out of 80+ shots, this is the one we've settled on. Actually it was the first one I opened up for review and the last one we looked at.
+ I normally wouldn't be happy with such a low "keeper" ratio, but you take what you can get. The lighting simply wasn't with me today and we had unexpected time constraints. *shrug*
+ In the print, you can even see streaks of rain!
+ Enjoy!

I just love the Celica, i'm working to have one in my hands (the 2000 version) in one year or so... Of course it will be a used car...
Anyway, I love the angle and the colors (black and white rocks). Just one question, the front bumper and the side skirts are the ones from TRD or are they others?

this is probably the one shot that you've done that I DON'T like... it's seems... mediocre? (flbw)... *shrug* it's just that I get bored with it easily... I can stop looking at it after a 10 second look... maybe it's just that I've seen you do better... *shrug*... sorry.

In reference to the "contrast thing" it's the same thing I was thinking when I first decided to comment, but not really knowing what I was saying because I'm not really good at commenting, I decided on not saying anything, but now that you bring it up I do think that's one thing I don't like too much... it looks really... gray... I mean, gray is my favorite color and all, but I think this would look so much better if the blacks were more black and the whites were more white. *shrug* anyway... just wanted to give my opinion...

celicas rock. a friend of mine drives the old one
this one is definitely nice, but it's riding a bit too high over the ground and the rims are a lil bit too small. nice shot

Nice shot, Nate. I actually like the 'wet' look going on here. Great use of that abandoned area!
My photo trip got rained out as well today
Can't wait to see more!

Something missing here, probably just a little bit dull I guess. Otherwise, pretty nice photo.

I like it..but of course I am a fan of wet cars...so sexy. I painted a Dodge Viper over the holiday. I might be able to get a picture of it if you are intested. Don't know if you are a lover of all cars or just the pretty Celicas.

well, that's a beautiful car. i like the scenery too, very natural and human. not like the giza pyramids or anything... just a normal place where you might drive a car. the rain actually looks good in my opinion. i like a little rain myself. nice work.
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
nonetheless, its a great shot. Send a few of those cars my way

Pretty pimpy. I idagree about the big poles though. I think they hep center it and draw your eye back into the back into the pic.

oh man, it's weird, because...today i just thought of getting a new car, and this is what i was thinking of getting. very cool, except i want a black one...

damn thats a sweet ride you got there! i think a manaro would look good too!!!! but this is the kind of photography i expect in magazines, you've out done yourself yet again!
you always do! great stuff, and FYI i've taken that car for a test drive down here before, well not the exact one but the same model and stuff but it was black and it was running nicely, sweet ride!

We thought this one was a keeper, yah. But the other 79, well, we'll see. If I upload the other photos from today, it'll be because I did a lot of digi-darkroom on them, ya know?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
yeah. it's a nice photo but those lines pole things to the top right are a bit of an eyesore

Say that from the get-go next time.
