Another exciting element was that my cousin Marcus was joining me, not that he was the exciting part, but the fact that he too has a new toy in the way of a 2006 Toyota MR2. It looks very cool in sliver with red detailed interior.

I decided a cool location would be on an industrial location where I am renting a couple of storage units. The blue cargo containers would make for some interesting backdrops as well as the tungsten security lights would be coming on as it got dark. The sky this evening was magical, not hat you will notice from the photos, we were about an hour late. Another lesson learned!

Another reason for the trip out was that I have been watching over and over Zach Arias‘s amazing OneLight Workshop DVD which I would highly recommend. I knew nothing about flash photography before getting this DVD, ok I read a few things and experimented but Zack’s my kinda teacher, explains the knowledge without all the techie jargon. I still don’t know much about flash photography but the DVD taught me the basics. I just need to watch it several more times and practice, practice, practice so it becomes second nature and learn how to control light.

Anyway, some pictures of us messing around and acting about 12 year olds.

Its had the full treatment from Type 2 Detectives, slammed , narrowed and now sits low and menacing on the floor. From what I hear it drives straight and true. The interior is yet to be finished, I hope to be able to get some interior once its done.
