I'll try again...

I'm gonna mess with it on photoshop later to see if I can bring it and brighten it up.

I checked out the photo and I thought that it was very kool. Next time we do the pic it would be kool to have the first generation cars up front so that it seems as though the picture follows a generation theme. I don't know just a thought.

I like the thought although it does kill my black cars up front mantra. lol

I don't like how this turned out...but I don't have time to fix it...just want to see what it looks like on here.

What the hell is that yellow car doing in there? Funny looking stang...

Seriously there has to be a better way to do the stagging...there really isn't too many cars to do this right. We need to see Ricks, Johns and everyone in the back row better.

Take a look at the pics Alan did on the Friday night cruise. If we lined like four cars two by two in the aisle itself...then parked the rest of the cars facing them from each side and horse shoeing in the back...could that work? Seems like the pic Alan took you can see 6 cars deep on his angle??? Just a thought. It might be best to do what bry said and bowling pin them? That's 5 rows with 15 cars total...we have 22 cars in this picture...so 6+1 rows. Lot of rows...I do understand that there is no perfect set up short of a wide agle lens...which Marks camera probably has.

It's not completely necessary for a large shot like that to be done during the day, here's the one I did weeks ago for a few of the Copperstate guys who showed up for a photoshoot...

That's a hot picture...especially the "ghosts" . Obviously we have twice as many cars than this picture. And even in your outstanding picture...the black cars are lost.

Where is the location...east side I would assume? (Thanks for the sample!)

It's in Paradise Valley, most parking garages have great lighting for such a thing but try to stay away from places with those yellow lights.

And yes, in a large group shot like this the black cars usually will get lost. It's tough to get them without overexposing the rest of the cars in the shot, especially with those bright colors. Only way to fix that is with some type of external flash or to get the darker cars under better lighting somehow than the rest.

As far as your photoshoot goes.... ideally, sunset is the perfect lighting for cars. There's about a 10-15 min window for the perfect lighting right at sunset, it will produce pics like these:

Personally I still love your first one...and having owned a few black cars...that just comes with owning them. I'll keep my eyes open around here...not a lot tall garages, although there is a really good one at the I-17 / 101 exchange (NW)...

Nice pics though, very nice!
