Stormy Night.... etc.
 

Night One: Had my girlfriend with me and some great storms rolled in, but by the time I started getting everything set up "I'm bored, ready to go, I don't feel good" etc. So yeah, didn't get any good lightning shots at all.

Here is the shot that I had framed up w/ my Nikon SB-600 externally to fire once some lightning started happening. Bullshit I tell ya, could've gotten some sick shots but whatever. Car shot, no lightning. lol.

Night Two: Storms started rolling back in and I grabbed my gear and flew out the door. I framed up a good shot, but then the sky fell and I sought shelter. I did however manage to get this shot, just w/ no car in the frame. lol. I seemed to be missing all of the good bolts by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. There were some sick bolts and strikes that cracked through the clouds.

What I want is both pictures but as an original shot. Framed up like #1 but w/ a bolt and crack like #2. Oh well. I am still going to try and pull it off before summer ends. Thought I would share. Thanks for looking.

Btw: Here are some other shots from this past weekends Rx-7 meet down in Charleston, SC. I snapped these and still have a lot more to get uploaded.

20B10AE (Reese) and I swapped cars and I got to drive his TurboII swapped vert. It was a lot of fun and boost w/ the top down was awesome! It was nice to see my TII do some highway pulls by me as well!

Nice pics! That fd is just WOW.

That Fc looks pretty tight!!

What character is that chick in ur sig? Anime?

fd is amazing.

fc is different i like it.

Ayaka Yukihiro from Mahou Sensei Negima is my guess.

WOW! nice shots man. really good work.
that lightning shot and the FD are pure sex

that FD is gorgeous.. dam mazda engineers really made the FC look like crap when they released the FD.. lol

good pics as always, love the vert and fd.

Oh yeah, great pics, too bad y ou didnt get the lightning in the photo.

What headlight kit is that on the vert?

eastbear

I disagree, a stock S5 TII with the lip looks pretty damn good.

amazing shots like always. do you work for a magazine dude? you really need to try out for one if you dont already work for one.

Thanks for all the kind words! New wheels on the car now and I'll try if there's another storm in the area. No I don't work @ a magazine or anything. I freakin' wish that were the case. Photography as a career is my dream but its all about knowing the right people and getting your foot in the door. I seem to have a problem w/ doing both and do manual labor for a living. lol.

Oh well. It's fun and that's what matters I guess. I really am not sure that I would want the ease of a hobby to become a source of income but being an editor @ a car magazine or something where I could travel and shoot would be nice.

hell yeah it would be nice. kinda like speedhunters or 7tune but better lol. i've really wanted to learn about photography since my dad does it on the side so i'l ask him if anything. but again really nice pics you have posted on this site dude.

the lightning picture is absolutelly amazing

yeah it looks good, but just not exotic or modern

are those eastbears still in production? Never saw a headlight kit that I thought looked good, but that one does IMO
