Here’s a selection of images that I took from the SAUVic cruise that ended up in Newport yesterday. Lots of nice cars and was good to have a chat with the owners.

Had a bit of a play with some lights as well, was an interesting challenge as the sun went down, exposures changed..Didn’t do to badly in the end.

The light setup I had going for these pretty much stayed static, I just moved cars in and out again. CBF’d being overly creative, just wanted to give the owners some photos of their rides..Didn’t matter to me that they were all in a similar style

430EX 1/16th @ 28mm pointing at the rear quarter panel
SB-26 1/16 @ 24mm pointing at the front quarter panel
SB-26 1/64 @ 85mm pointing at the front grill..This one was a bitch, depending on the car colour would either look shit or need to be dialed in again.

Black cars at night, are a particular challenge. Next time, it’d be easier to just paint it with a softbox I think.

Its a motorshow, You always see the same sort of photos from these things, so here’s just a couple of the more special cars that were in attendance.
The two models of the new age “Mad Max” cars were awesome, I really liked the Nimachine model they had, looked real tough.

“Top Gear Australia heard rumours of the return of an Australia movie legned, “Mad Max”, and set a challenge to the Ford Australia’s talented designers to come up with what they believe the next generation of Max Max cars should look like.”

See, its not all just rollerblading. I shot these awhile back. I remember it being an awesome summer Melbourne day, cars had just been washed..what else was there to do but grab some photos? With Marco’s car the sun was setting as well which gave a nice ambient. No need for strobes here. I’ll dig up the exif info later.
