Hey haven't been around these parts for a while, been out taking heaps of photo's, so keep a look out for a few new topics from me about the place.
Ok I was getting some sun in the Goldcoast last month (haven't seen it since). Out of sheer luck, I arrived during the Wintersun Festival and was able to get to Coolangatta in time for the last day of it. There were an amzing amount of cars there, every time I thought I must be at the end, I spotted a few hundred more cars.
The event was completly packed and the cars were very close together, this and some really harsh sun/shadows made it incredibly hard to get good pictures, the cars themselves though compensated for this by making technically poorer shots still awesome. :crazy:
I also went back the next day and some of the cars were still about, but just parked up letting me get some less noisy pics.
I used an external flash/fdiffuser for most to bring out the paint and soften some shadows. Got some funny looks using a large flash in sunlight. :crazy: No tripod (way too crowded) so they are all single exposures, so yeah there will be a blown sky or two as I was exposing for the cars paint.
Some to get you started:
Rest of the shots
