This pretty much started out as my friend Tim and I being bored one day. Took a couple of photos of one of my challengers and another friends BMW. Put them on facebook that night and some of my friends commented saying they wanted to do a shoot. It kinda took off from there. Ive been trying to keep the theme centered around kids and their cars. I want to show the modifications done by the average youth, not just some extravagant show car no one my age could afford. All the cars shown have had something done to them, however minor it may appear. Ill try and add info on the cars later. The charger and challenger don't really count though as those are mine :D.
Ive still got about 150 more photos to sort through and edit and 4 more shoots lined up so Ill be updating this periodically.
Let me know what you guys think, this is purely something my friends and I do for fun when we have time. :cheers:

Ill have to upload more later, Ive got a meeting to go to.
You sir, are one very lucky man to have friends/know people to be involved in the photo shoots!
BTW nice cars too :rofl:
Hey i have an E30 too!! that one looks awesome...
Finn you have a great eye...and some adorable friends who are amazingly photogenic. Great concepts on the junkyard pics.
great pics :2thumbs:
Great pics and Girls! Thanks for sharing!
Um, like, err, DAMN! :popcrn:
I'm not a big fan of the spectrum altered pics (or what ever that effect is) but the B&W photo and that 88 Rocket shot are really cool. Can't wait to see more.

Love pictures of mopars with people having a good time!
A superb job! :2thumbs:
I'd like to know the details on the camara and lenses you use and the Models Phone numbers addresses,..
and measurements while your at it... Please.. :drool5:
:2thumbs:
Ship the whole crew over to my place and let's have ourselves a photo shoot!
Cool pics Finn, thanks for posting up :cheers:
There were Car's in those pics? I did not notice :lol: Mikey Likey :2thumbs:
The blonde in the blue dress could be colbie caillat's twin.
Thanks for sharing and keep on shootin'
Try topaz denoise for those pesky issues with the overly noisy HDR's and the topaz detail will bring some of the pop back in, after.
Fantastic shots as always.

Mike
Great pics!! :2thumbs: :2thumbs:
Wow thanks guys (and girl :icon_smile_wink:)! Mike Ill try out the topaz denoise, thanks for the suggestion. I want to try some HDR shots with people in the next couple shoots, have you ever tried that?
Ive got some more Ill try and put up this weekend.
If any of you have any ideas for a style of shoot or notice something you would change let me know, I'm always looking for new ideas. :cheers:
what version Photoshop do you have??
the trick is to do it with 1 exposure. unless you have a lightning fast burst(9-11fps) tripod and a very willing(to stay still) subject, you should try it with one shot. i'll try it with that cutie in the one pic....oh wait...that's all the pics. Hang on a few.
Finn, sent you an email with some info and links.. hope they help.
here's a quick idea of what a one shot hdr could look like..... the resolution is killing it due to having to compress the file size to fit on here(ie: started with your pic which isn't at its normal resolution)
it's a rough idea though.
what camera are you using again?? sorry if i already asked these questions.
I just replied to your email! :cheers:
I hafta start doing some of that HDR work.
Problem is; I know nothing about it!
Awesome pics Finn, I am also interested in what camera you are using?
WOW! :cheers: :popcrn: :drool5:

A couple more, haven't had a lot of time lately...but on the plus side I did get the charger running and driving again (and by key no less! No more jury-rigged nonsense). On the down side the hood blew up last time I took it out and put a big ol' bend in it. :brickwall:

that reminds me i really need to get in gear and do some shoots with my car! just haven't had the time...
Finally have some time to update!
Sorry about the low muscle percentage, Im working on fixing that. :2thumbs:
BMW shoot with friends. The 3 and the 5 are my friends and the 5 wagon is their dad's.
They bought and built each car for under 2,000. Did amazing work. The dad is really awesome at finding deals on everything.

This is from a point-n-shoot, hence the quality. I forgot the big camera but I had to snap a few so I borrowed my friend's and did what I could with them.

Fun fact, as of tonight she's my girl :icon_smile_big:. Well, perhaps I should say mistress. The charger will always be my girl. :D
CONGRATS!!! :2thumbs:

Why are Boobs so damb AWESOME?!?!
I know this is probably not something that anyone else has even noticed. But how in the hell did you get a shot with no other cars on the road?
Lol nice catch. We were at the end of a dead end street. Actually did get quite a few funny looks from cars making u-turns.
good pictures Finn :yesnod: pretty girl :yesnod:

Awesome pics and concept Finn! Great Job
U do GREAT pics kid...and congrats...she's a looker and I hope down to earth.
Thank you all, :cheers:
Ive been super busy with school lately but Ive been slipping some in here and there, now the problem is getting the time to edit them.
Here's one of the "beater" challenger. When I was taking this picture I was thinking "man, this thing is going to need a lot of work...".
Right then a lady in a truck pulled up and said to me "you've got great potential there, don't give up on it".
:scratchchin:
If that wasn't a sign I don't know what is.

these are great pictures. love them. and the chicks are awsome. would love to have you shoot my charger. :2thumbs:
Aw Finn you did it again! I hope the lady and you enjoy all that life has to offer. I very much enjoy your consistent use of the "rule of thirds", it shows man. The composition of the car, RR sign, tall hedge with both texture and bold color combined with the empty road on the left is probably my favorite. The low profile shots are nicely done. A very senior photog once told me that if you don't see a "shot" just put the camera on the ground. One of those "rules to live by". The old iron shots taken at mid level are very well composed to my eye.
Nice stuff Finn, as always thanks for the view into the netherworld!

I really need some new friends. :o :2thumbs:
