Seen on Canibeat.com

No matter how big or small the recognition, it's always a great feeling. It can be a photo I've taken or something about my car. This time it was both, a picture I took of my car that I randomly posted on their Flickr group. Pretty cool, especially since there are tons of pictures and better looking rides that get posted to their group everyday.

Thanks to Canibeat.com for including the picture in their collage!

Oh yeah...here's the picture they used.

and then there were three...pictures that is...

It was a good day to take a cruise to an old Naval base (now filled with private companies, but cool structures) to find some spots to shoot and get more experience with using off-camera strobes. Stopped at one spot behind a building, hoping security wouldn't hassle me. Someone ended up calling them, but the guy was pretty cool and showed me were I could go. I took a bunch of shots, but only three made the cut. I spent a lot of time moving the lights around, but they were never perfect.

What did I learn today? I need AlienBees!!!

Another day with the MKV

With the weather getting better, it was about that time to bust out the camera gear and put it into use. I bought an off-camera flash set up earlier in 2009, but never got to fully use it, or see how much power it had.

The pictures didn't come out exactly how I wanted them to since the second light source was my ex430 mounted on the camera. It was difficult to get the light where I wanted it. I guess I just made another excuse for me to buy a third Pocket Wizard to get that flash off my camera.

Strobist info:
Nikon SB-28 @ 1/32 power(camera right)
Canon 430EX @ 1/16 power(mounted on camera)

Rollerzzzzzzz......

Finally, some rolling shots of the car with the new wheels (not so new anymore). Thanks to my cousin Katta for snapping these pictures while we were "going, going...back, back...to Cali, Cali," from Reno.

Hot off the press...BBS RS's

Yep...fresh out of the shop! Refinished, waiting to get picked up. My homie Daniel, from Memoryfab, hit me up today to tell me the wheels are ready to go. This is definitely the place to go!

He emailed me a quick picture to give me a preview. All I need now are some tires and hub rings!

Wheel info:
BBS RS 320 and 321's
17x8 et43 / 17x9 et40
Fully refinished and re-drilled to 5x112.

STAY TUNED!

One clean MKV Rabbit on airbags.

B-E-A-utiful. This is a definite favorite of mine and it was a must to throw this up. I was lucky enough to see it a few weeks ago at the Berkeley Marina meet and snapped these two pics.

Super RS's on air bags...nothing but love...
