Default Photography in Portland

Hey all,
I'm interested in photographing any modified cars, they don't have to be hugely modified, slight exterior or interior changes are cool. I'm basically looking for any clean looking cars, ya know "sleek". Anyway yeah if anyone is up to guinea pig their car for me to improve my horrible photography skills that would be cool. Just PM me and we can talk.

Peace-Curtis

Yeah, there are some nice clean looking Scions rolling around at the meet and greets, could meet everyone and see what happens from there, most of us like having our cars photographed. Maybe even hit some of the smaller shows that will be coming up in the next several months, lots of opprotunities to polish your skills as the crowds aren't as big at the smaller shows, good luck, I practice on my car all the time, lol.

Well i don't really have a criteria, just look around and see what would fit the emotion, imagine different lighting (mid-day, night, dusk, etc.) If you see something appealing let me know.

I'll keep my eye's open (for a change ) while I'm driving around and see what I can find. I know there is some nice area's for shots north of town, up along Highway 99 near Adair Villiage. I'll head that direction this evening and take some digitals of different spots along the way and send em to ya.

E-brake slides..... xB.... that would look impressive.. He'd probably end up with some nice shots of the underside of my car for the local paper.
