Yeah your idea sounds better. Day, dusk, night. I think my black car would look great in all three scenarios....

Um I'm caravaning down there, not sure what time I'll get there. Let me check. (Im coming from the bay area)

But yeah I'd love to do something either Friday or Saturday night. What time does everyone usually start leaving bimmerfest?

trying to remember, i want to say it was around 5pm? i stayed with the booth last time so i was there til full shut down.

since i'll be running rogue from any booth, we could possibly both scoot out around 4ish, beat the crazy convoy leaving, and find some locations within 20 minutes of the rose bowl.

i'm looking for those who have serious interest and are open to shoot on the following days (saturday will be fully blocked off for Bimmerfest) - posting members & times for those tentative. If i can lock in 6-8 personal shoots, i should be able to make this trip happen.

May 16 11:00a - 01:00p | Victorwu120
May 17 05:00p - 07:00p | S!ke
May 18 03:00p - 06:00p | Ambrosio
May 19

each shoot would take approx. 2 hours. at least 10 fully edited shots (interior/exterior/up close detailed shots & rollers until the 19th - i'll have a friend joining me to help w/ rollers but he would leave the 19th at night).

because this outing will be all out of pocket, i am firm on $120. each shoot will easily take at least 5+ hours (shoot + edits)

post up if you're free any of the days listed above. if you have a white or black car, best time is in the morning, around 7am-10pm, and 4pm-sunset.

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SHARE THIS LINK. I LOVE SHOOTING ALL TYPES OF CARS, BEYOND BMW'S, SO IF YOU KNOW A GEAR HEAD WHO HAS A CLEAN RIDE AND WOULD LOVE A SHOOT, SEND THEM OVER!!
Please confirm if possible no later than saturday May 10, so I can book the trip if needed.

post up below, thanks!

here's some of my work for those who haven't really seen much from me:
www.jmeas.4ormat.com

Will the 19th at 9am work for you? Have a hard stop at 2. Not sure if you are an early bird or not. Let me know and thanks!

[jm3as]

For the right shot w the right lighting. I'm an early bird if you are able to help at least think of a few areas near and around Pasadena/la (I'm sure I'll drive past a few during by stay) we can meet at the first shoot site at 8am? Shoot till 10? I'm on my phone, what color car do you have?

If I leave at 7:30 it will take me about an hour to get there with SoCal traffic so maybe 8:30? I drive a Black 335is. Not sure where in Pasadena I will have to check with someone who knows the area and where some good natural and industrial shots could be taken. There was an old 1940s gas station and pump there not too long ago which would have been perfect but they tore it up and turned it into a local restaurant. No more old gas pump.

Let me check and IM you back. I live about 30 minutes away by I210 80mph so again I will have to ask my brother who works there as to where a good place to shoot would be.

[EMITTR]

found the place - looks like the pumps are still there. 1920s. Tried to PM you but for some reason it is not working. Maybe you can PM me and I can shoot the address to you. Thanks!

[EMITTR]

Old Pasadena has some industrial architecture spots. Too. Will send you a few locations maybe we can hit. Traffic on a Monday pedestrian and vehicular will be the issue.

perfect. a nice mix is always clutch. 2-3 spots within a 15-20 min radius should allow for a handful of shots

[jm3as]

check the tentative shoots above. if you are somewhat interested, and have a white or black car, shoot for a morning or evening that hasn't been taken yet. if there are none available for the day you are, we'll just get creative if the sun is beating down mid day, any covered locations would be awesome too, old warehouses, old industrial spots, etc.

[s!ke]

Btw. I think maybe we should do like 7-9 or something. It doesn't start getting dark until like 830

[s!ke]

Also do you want me to just pay you now or on location? Are you bringing lights and stuff?

If your car is black I can try some light painting but w time it takes to travel to each location. We can start at say 5 or 6 and I'm ok w doing the shoot till 9.

I'll most likely just bring one of my portable light sticks. Don't need much to light paint if we get the chance.

I'll start asking for a paypal deposit next week. Found its a lot easier that way then exchanging cash after

[YMB_F80]

Hey man, I think you put me in the wrong spot!! I can do May 18th in the afternoon, let me know thanks!
