Photo Shoot ?

[Trugga]

Just an Idea I've been mulling around...

I was wondering if two or three members might like to meet up somewhere for a photoshoot - you bring the Frontera, I'll bring the camera.

I've "snapped" many Frontera's at play but not done many static shots, and I'd also like to try a "rolling" shot (but that needs someone to be my driver - hense the thought of 2-3 vehicles)

Sadly, the location would have to be local to the West Midlands and ideally would be in a pituresqe location (I'm not thinking pay & play or green lane days) - perhaps the Long Mynnd or Cannock Chase - any other ideas,

Some samples from the archives:







We could perhaps spend a morning or an afternoon shooting the cars in different locations and different poses and maybe yourselves as well (although I'm not yet confident at portraits). Then grab a coffee, have a chat and what-not.

What would you get - one (or more) large un-watermarked digital file of an edited image
What would the photo cost you - nothing (I enjoy taking photos) (although you cover your travelling expences)
Why am I thinking of this - I don't expect to be doing much Fronteraing this year, so i'ts a way of keeping in touch and improving my photo skills. Maybe we could do this once a month.

Your thoughts ?

sounds like a good idea ,,but my fronteras off the road so iam using an l200 so its not a fronty

[horses45]

If my standard fronty's good enough I would like to be in on this as truggas pics are brilliant as I have a couple of my trucks taken by him and my screen saver

[Wilberforce]

I'd be up for this too, Lawrence.
You've done some excellent shots of my cars in the past

[yaki]

I'd be up for this as well, location dependant

^^^^ what Yaki says

Massively good idea Lawrence, count me and the Truck in.

[AskDean]

I'm up for this depending on dates and locations not conflicting with work and kids lol.

[bobbinsjob]

Goes without saying Lawrence. You've taken some great photos of my truck and Maria, pre cameo. Would be great to get some more done and perhaps the redneck militia can tie in a trip up the mynd

[stretch]

I'd be up for this

[oldham_matt]

do we have any dates or locations for this is id also be interested in participating

This is a brilliant idea. If I was nearer I would have been up for this.

I'm still thinking about doing this, even moreso some locations - if you have any ideas, then please shout up.

Sceneic locations work well, countryside, fields, mountains (but no telegraph poles etc)
Maybe an urban environment: abandoned buildings, grafitti etc
P&P days don't work particularly well, due to "clutter" (other vehicles etc) and mud everywhere looses definition.

I'm currently looking to change my road car (the Volvo) so have couple of weekends busy kicking tyres, and start a new job in a couple of weeks - but I am thinking of popping up to Derbyshire (Milner 4x4) next month; perhaps we could arrange a meet there (but you'd have to propose a venue)

Another gratuitus 4x4 photo (yes, it is a 4x4):

OK, I know these are "action" shots, but the environment might give you some ideas for a location

Why not do this at the annual again Lozza?...I remember your photo shoots being popular at avalanche, and the woods made for some good pictures last time you came down here.

[Trugga]

Greg, not a bad idea and the Woods in on my thought list - I'm wanting in to change my road car before I commit to the AM though.

It was difficult for photography in the Woods (low light) - well, to the high quality standard I want to achieve and I had to compromise on that quality for the Woods shots I took in 2013 (whilst the shrunk down photos posted on the forum look OK, an A2 print looks pretty ghastly).

Maybe there are some field perimeter tracks we could use ? or maybe we could be granted "sensible" access to a fallow field ?

What about out on some byways at the annual. There's got to be something without too much tree cover around there.

[bigred]

I would be up for taking part in this depending on location
Up on Beeley moor maybe a good location, Carsington water, Cromford area some old mills etc around there.

[bobbinsjob]

There are plenty of shoot location around here Lawrence. Check my folders on Facebook
