The first time is never perfect, and if it is, that's just a fluke. Definately room for improvements, but overall looks fine to me.

 

Don't get me wrong it's the first time my car has been shot professionally by a photographer. I'm more than happy I purchased the calendar. I'm just disappointed because I hyped myself up with the "professional shoot" mentality. I lurk the Gallery section a lot, and I thought the result was gonna turn out like that.

Kudos to MKP for donating their time as always. Annie and Marcus are nice people.

 

^^ yah, i think all of us are on the same page about that ^^

 

I don't know. I have mixed feelings about it. The day of the shoot was a fun day. It was great to meet new people and hang out. I would'nt say they "donated thier time". MKP represented themselves as a business and provided us with a service. There getting paid with every calendar they sell. To me $35 is expensive for a calander. But for one with "professional" photos. That price is a bargain. I was more than willing to pay for the "professional service" As i also had the "professional shoot" mentality that ended with disapointment. Out of the three photographers i feel at least one should have used a tripod and another using filters to eliminate glares on windshields. That alone would have added variation to the shots. I'm proud to purchase the calander for Cales page and all of Brians efforts.

 

yeah so did I, I requested a shoot at the hotel for my own personal pics but I guess they misunderstood me and used it in the calendar. I was hoping for more of a side shot for a good view of my hardtop. But oh well.

 

Thank you I'll put another one together for 2011, but next time i'll use a website to make it and use submitted photos so we have complete control on how it looks. Possibly pics we all vote on?

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

i think that would make a great end result!!

 

I have to agree with you. The shots look very amateur indeed, the dull backdrops, the uncreative crops, one of the pictures was even a bit washed out. I'm no professional, I shoot around for my club at school, various events here and there, but I'm positive I could make a calendar just like this one. But hey if you guys enjoy it, you guys enjoy it.
