went ahead and gave the cars a bath/much needed waxing and decided I really needed to work on taking pictures...... sure yeah there's some editing but I think they are coming out a lot better than I have been doing for awhile so, I'm happy.

Shot with my Konica Autoreflex tC with a Konica Hexanon 50mm f1.4 and Ektar 100 film. I've noticed much better results when scanning, but I'm still working on developing my ability to get colors and lighting set with just a scan from the negative. I'm just not getting the vibrant color I see on the print without making it too contrasty (last two) or weak (first).

What year was the Firebird? Looks like a a second gen, sticker suggests later 70s as do the wheels. I always loved the interiors on those, they just had the feeling of a race car.

Photos from this weekend's fashion show that I was yet, another photographer for. I say that because at most fashion shows, there are like 10-20 other photogs. lol. That is the only time I see drama amongst Photogs. Crazy.

Anyways some photos: I am going to keep it appropriate for the forum, some of the swimsuits are a bit more revealing than allowed on non-photo sites.

If you are wondering:
- The BST (behind the scenes) shots are with a Nikon 50 1.4 lens with a continuous tungsten bulb in the room.
- The runway photos are a done with a Tamron 28-75 2.8 lens and a daytime balanced strobe at 1/8th power over to the right of me shooting into a bounce back umbrella to spread the light.

My settings were around 600-800 ISO and having the shutter between 125 - 160th.
