how much for swapping 4 winter tires on?
still $40 + tax?

nvm, not down...

Yeah what's the lighting going to be like? Is it just going to be girls posing on cars in a normal showroom?

sounds like there will be a few models there to pose infront of the cars in the showroom for X photographers to take turns photographing them. Then the best picture from the cameras will be picked, no retouching. I could be wrong.

Can we bring our own models? :D

I'm assuming this is for euro car's only?

They're going to get hundreds of the exact same pictures, kind of a dumb concept IMO especially if they just want the raw images. Post editing is half the photo if not more. That'll be a monotonous calender with all the women around the same cars in the same location, they need to allow for more creativity! I'd be interested in entering if I could make my work actually stand out from the rest.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but wouldn't the person with the better camera win....Everyone is taking the exact same photo just with different cameras....and not allowed to touch it afterwards...

Or the person with the largest friendslist...

Hi Everyone, thank you for your interests. Here are some clarification in regards to the contest.

We will have 6 cars with 12 models rotating between cars. Lighting will be provided, but you may also bring your own equipment (flash, lenses, etc.) and it is up to the photographers to be creative and shoot from different angles to produce unique shots. Photo editing is also permitted. (Photoshop, Lightroom, etc.) Let your creativity run wild.

No, we are including various makes of cars! We will finalize the list of cars and update soon. Thanks.

The models are all professionals! .. Support us by pressing "like" on our BJ Autohaus Fan Page.

Thanks guys :)

Models are meh. I'll pass.

woo! GT3. Wish I can go but have to work that day.

My thoughts exactly. They're great for high fashion as are the gowns but mixed with high-end sports cars in a garage...... bizarre combination. Personally I'd have gotten swimsuit or maybe alternative models. Good luck with the shoot Autohaus I hope it turns out.

They are trying for a "sophisticated" look it seems, but they are taking pictures of a Porsche 911, not a 7-series Bimmer...Just doesn't fit IMO.

All photographers are welcomed to join.

Best photo i believe will be judged by the ppl.

As far as i know, there will be an array of vehicles to spice up the mix.

Models are local fashion models. If you are expecting car models... well, maybe perhaps in the future if enough interest =)

lol im not good at shooting cars!




edit: found out signup info


so who has the most facebook friends? :D

so i was invited to a meeting for some insite last night to iron out the details of the event. brian jessel autohaus has a big array of cars that will be showcased at saturdays event. to keep everyone from seeing the same type of cars, they picked a good array of different types of cars.

Models will be dressed in gown dresses designed by a local designer. So if ur thinking of this as bikini models, then sorry to crush ur dreams. Background will be the physical shop bays themselves, so you will have to be inventive to have your shot stand out from the rest!

Amateur and Professional photographers will be all given the same chance to take their shots. this levels the playing field a little as not everyone can afford high end equipment and lenses. If you want to set up ur equipment and extra lighting, you will need to go a bit early.

Event is opened to the public. Final outcome is decided by the public on facebook.

I will be attending on saturday volunteering and helping out as well.

^ Sounds fun. I'll drop by with my iPhone 4 and take you all out! lol

it is amazing what you can do with an iphone these days!

Too lazy to shoot with the DSLR, took some pictures with phone and left. Here are some to share :)
