Zinister · 02-23-2009, 09:59 AM

So I decided its a rather nice day out here for being in february, so I washed the car and took it out for a quickie photoshoot before the UFC fights started. These are all new locations for me to shoot at. I hope you like them. enjoy!!!

Second best shots I've seen on this site. Nice work. BTW, do you mean your a UFC fighter or you're watching on tv?

miro2296 · 02-23-2009, 01:19 PM

Zinister · 02-23-2009, 01:29 PM

Bman6074 and ssabripo:
I don't mind sharing at all

PM me your email address and I will try and send them. I have never had anyone ask for high res shots of my photos before.

Upgrade+: I meant just watching them on tv lol.

love the Arroyo Del Oso shots!

N54tt · 02-23-2009, 09:22 PM

Love The Pics!!!! Great Shots

135i_TT · 02-23-2009, 10:17 PM

Those are some reallly good shots! You know how to get the right angles

slog · 02-23-2009, 11:10 PM

Cool pictures. I'm digging them

Bruck · 02-24-2009, 12:03 AM

Gorgeous, care to share details of your photo rig? (lens and body used for these shots)... I ask for my own curiosity as a fellow amateur, not as one of those guys who asks what camera "took" the shots.

FlyFish · 02-24-2009, 12:05 AM

Nicely done! Kudos!

thomasf · 02-24-2009, 01:26 AM

Whoa, these are truly amazing pics, the best I've seen so far !

Especially love this one, could be a postal card.

Thanks again for the positive comments!! Of course, photo 3,5, and 10 were really over processed do to the lack of light in the foreground. They were just too dark in raw form, so I had to get crazy with them in PS. Oddly enough, they came out looking really good even though you can tell they have been enhanced like crazy. The rest are just touched up a tad, just like I do with all my photos. And of course, removing the reds and yellows in a few of the last pics leaving black and white with some blue. I am still practicing as well. Some people may crap themselves when they read this. ALL of my shots are done with a Canon G7 point and shoot.

That just goes to show that some times the camera has nothing to do with the photos, but more so what the photographer did with the camera. Now, if only I had a Canon 40D

drgonzo · 02-25-2009, 07:39 PM

The Nurburgring decal on the back is a nice touch.

HighQ · 02-25-2009, 10:17 PM

This pic really stands out, it looks very pro!

Garduna · 02-25-2009, 10:23 PM

Fantastic pics man!
