Sorry, i just have to tell the guys....

I have a photo shoot coming up this weekend, and to tell you the truth i'm both excited and a bit nervous. Nervous because i want to try and do my best and get some good shots because they are going to a car magazine, and excited because "IT'S A BIKINI SHOOT!!!"

:shock:

My fingers are crossed big time that this comes off (the shoot not the bikini), as it's by far the most challenging photo work i will have done to date.

DOF is my big fear as i will need the car and the girl in focus as much as possible.

Any last minute tips will be accepted greatfully

u may want to bring a polarizing filter in case there's a glare coming from the car, that could be a potential problem if its sunny (metallic surfaces) and some sunscreen for the lady :greenpbl:

I thought polarizing filters dealt with reflections in all but metallic surfaces...

Yes, I envy you. I would love such a challenge.

Gee....car magazine, girl in bikini lolling around hot car.... I can't speak for Manda, but possibly the simple :pig:

factor? :LOL:

Seriously, good luck with your shoot, Luckydog! If you want to make the guys green, you'll post the results. :wink:

Sounds like someone is living up to their nickname

Excuse me, exactly WHO bestowed that nickname on me?? :?

Chase · Feb 5, 2004

Actually, I was referring to "luckydog" :lol:

But, now that you mention it...although I took it upon myself to post your name, you clearly earned it and therefore "bestowed" it upon yourself!

terri · Feb 5, 2004

And here's yours: "Chase: Has an answer for everything!"

Chase · Feb 5, 2004

And here I was thinking something more like "bow down to the admin" :lmao:

Manda and Terri no reading below the askerisks

IT'S A BIKINI SHOOT!!!

Yep, quite a lucky dog

Although I don't have chase's authority, I crown ye "king luckydog the great" :king:

We need a full report matey!!
1. Post the Pictures
2. Magazines
3. Phone Numbers
4. Don't forgot to tell the models that you are also a professional nude photographer, since they are already in bikini it shouldn't be a problem to go the extra mile

5. Post any picture resulting from item 4
6. And if they are willing to go nude... the next step is...
7. Post any picture resulting from item 6

Also remember to prepare for any situation, Justin Timberlake might be there to do a dance number so you have to capture the moment

Don't forget that lucky dog's photo site is is http://darryl465.fotopic.net in case the photos get too steamy for the forum.

Seriously, congrats on that - may I ask how you got the gig (taking notes)? Us photoforumer's support you 115%!

Hey hey,

I knew the guys would be supportive

As for how i got the job, i was actually asked! This is not a paying job (how could you

) but the chance to try such a different style of photography for me was a challenge i couldn't pass up.
As for posting of photos, well, any "tasteful" shots might manage to make an appearance (hopefully they're all tasteful), It's not a closed location so the nude side that Vonn is praying for shouldn't eventuate. I would probably keel over anyway, if anything else was "overexposed".

I may need a photographers assistant too, so if anyone can wield a mean reflector, rub on oil etc etc, be at Stockton ferry terminal at 3.30pm tomorrow (down under time).
