O Hai!
Busy day tomorrow. Shooting 333 333 $ worth of cars… Curious? The teaser below might give you a hint…
Static Awesomeness
As I told you in my previous post I have some trouble taking decent show pictures. I’m way more comfortable with a proper photo shoot where you can control the surroundings to a greater extent. Fortunately I got the chance to do some of those when in Worthersee. I met up with Russel from KlutchOnline and was lucky to tag along to shoot this insane Audi RS6. I had seen it driving around around the lake an couldn’t help being blown away by it’s presence. But seeing it up close and realizing the drop over those huge 21″ AMG wheels was static made the car even more insane.
The French owner and his friends were great guys, but the task of producing images that would do the car justice seemed quite impossible. So impossible I’ve even put of processing the pictures for a long time. I just didn’t know how to do them. But watching a movie the other day I knew how they had to look. The RS6 is just like the main character in the movie Book of Eli featuring Denzel Washington- Understated, yet immensely powerful! I knew I had to do more post work to them than I usually do and If you’ve seen them movie you can tell me if you think i succeded in recreating some of the mood from the film.
More pictures in the KlutchOnline Feature and on my Flickr and clicking the pictures will make you able to view them larger.
Overdue…
I’ve finally been able to go through some of my Wörthersee pictures. One of the reasons for putting of going through them, apart from being really busy lately, is that I really suck at this kind of photography. Usually I do recognize a good photo opportunity when I see it, but when I’m at at show I enjoy being there to much so I forget about taking pictures… So with that being said, here they are, more holiday snapshots than award winning pictures.
But take them for what they are and I hope you enjoy them.
Cabriolicious
Still behind on my shots from Wörthersee, I’ve managed to edit some pictures I took of this nice Dutch Mk1 Cabriolet at Pyramidenkogel. Pyramidenkogel is a mountain located to the south of the Wörthersee, near the town of Maria Wörth and has one of the most beautiful views I’ve ever seen. We were up there sightseeing one day and I took some panorama shots I’ll make sure you guys get to see on another occasion. Anyways, Russel from KLUTCH had contacted Twan Niemeijer to shoot his 92 Cabrio and we all went at it on this picturesque spot near the observation and broadcasting tower at the top of the mountain.

Top Of The World
Yesterday may not have made me feel quite on top of the world, but I was close, and I felt it made a good title for the first picture in this post.
See, yesterday I did several things I rarely do. First of all I gave my car a thorough clean and a fresh coat of some quality Swissvax products which made it really nice and shiny. Furthermore, the weather was nice, I’d almost gotten the stance dialed in to match my new ROTIFORM BLQ’s and the camera was in the back of the car. So I decided to shoot some quick pictures of my own car. I did them just outside the my friends garage where we did the detailing of the car so the location could have been more exciting. But I like the pictures nevertheless, they’re sort of like my car, clean and simple :p
There are some more pictures up on KLUTCH, so head on over there to see them if you are curious. Also, don’t be shy to stop over by ROTIFORM’S site to see some more of their awesome wheels.
Norwegian Wood
This weekend I attended what must be Norway’s biggest Vw & Audi meet at Vålerbanen in the middle of the Norwegian woods. Not as big as the infamous Gatebil events, but still a great turnout with more than 100 cars doing their thing at the track, even more attending the show and shine on Sunday and lots of great people just hanging out and enjoying themselves.
I was really more occupied catching up with old friends, working on my tan ( which resulted in a massive sunburn) and generally having a good time. I still need to work on my panning skills, but I managed to squeeze of some hundred decent shots.
I have a huge backlog of pictures from Austria so I don’t know when I’ll be able to go through the frames from this weekend, but I’ve managed to upload some shots to this album. More will be added later. but not sure when.
Either way, no post without images so here they are.
