Import Alliance 2010-Nashville

Here was a small synopsis of my weekend at Import Alliance. Though we were all running on almost no sleep we still managed to have fun.

The crew before we rolled out. Meeting location was at Books A Million at 8am.

We then moved out to Walmart to goof around for a bit.

After staying the night at Friday we had to wake up at 4am Saturday to pick up some breakfast and head to Nashville Superspeedway. Surprisingly, there were still hundreds of cars in front of us in line at 6:30am.

After an hour we were still in line for a contraband check.

Here was a view from the bleachers at about 8am.

Here are some of the cars from Day 1.

After the first day we headed to Wynns Burgers and Ice Cream for a meet. We decided to leave early because our cars were being blocked in. Haha. Too many cars.

For day 2 we WERE supposed to wake up at 4 but ended up waking up at 8. I think everyone just needed some sleep.

Yum Continental breakfast!

Day 2 pics+ drifting.

Well, that is my coverage for Import Alliance. It was lots of fun and I hope to see everyone there next year.

Black and White

For some time now, I have been shooting in black and white. Something about it just gives it a new image. I just bump up the ISO to 400 and it gives me nice photos. Just something about it…

Ipod Touch

My brother’s Glasses…

My SB-600 Flash

Iron? I have no idea what I was thinking when taking this.

History

Dante’s Inferno

Now, that is a lot of pages…

And finally, that is me. I need a haircut. Haha.

Amplive

I have been listening to a lot of Amplive lately. He is on top of his game. Is a really good remix artist. Here is his site for some free downloads. http://amplivesworld.com/

Here are a few of his videos if you are interested. I like them a lot.

Random

Just a picture I liked. I know, it is not the best. But, I like it. I still need to adjust the coloring and white balance though. I need to start shooting in RAW(NEF) to get the best out it.

Baldwin’s Del Sol

This photoshoot was a long while back but nonetheless it was my first shoot. Not the best rolling shots but now that I have researched a bit, I know what to do now. I enjoyed shooting Baldwin’s Del Sol. It was probably the lowest one I have ever seen and the color of the car just sets it off. This car is really trendy and would like to see more of it in the future. Here are the pics.
Form and Function Coilovers ftw!

Baldwin Working on putting the rears on. Not to mention, it was balls cold outside.

Coilovers in place.

Sill shots.

You know he has to be rubbing like crazy. Tsk tsk.

Crappy rolling shots. Still learning.

That’s all folks! Lol.

The All State

Well, after much consideration and after I have seen my techniques become better over time, I have decided to try and get a job at the All-State as a photographer, The newspaper at Austin Peay. Hopefully, I will get a job. The pay is not much and I will be quite busy but, I will enjoy doing it and expanding my horizons is not a bad idea either. And another upside is that I will be able to use higher end cameras and lenses. This weekend has been busy. Not only do I have an Economics test on Monday but, I have an Accounting assignment due Monday also. Sigh. Back to the daily grind…

Here are a few pics in my friend Ahmed’s warehouse. Nothing too special. These are hand held pics with no flash at 400 ISO.

This one is my favorite.

03/16/2010

Sorry for not updating last night. Even though I do not have religious followers… But, here are a few more pictures from the trip. I just posted a few because I really need to get going to class. Enjoy.

As we were coming into the strip.

The place we stayed. It was a pretty nice condo, by the way.

A seagull at the beach. They were everywhere!

Possibly one of the best pictures I have ever taken. These are a few of the roommates.

And to end it all off just a random ass black and white picture of an Iphone.

Back from Panama City

Well, I am finally back from Panama City Beach. That place is pretty crazy. It was a good experience that I all always remember. Here are a few photos I took.

These two were taken at Old Chicago at 2am before I have to leave at 2:30am Friday. Haha.

The sight from the bed. Looking up.

One clean ass Mazda Miata I saw after getting my scooter jacked.

Here is the view from our room and the sun setting.

I will definitely post more as time goes on. I am far too busy.

03/05/2010

Here are a few pictures from the other day.

Here are a few things that my friend Trevor was working on.

Well, this is going to be my last post for a week because I am going to be in Panama City Beach for Spring break. Once I come back there should be plenty of photos. Stay tuned!
