View Full Version : BMW 330 ZHP Group Photoshoot in San Diego -- RESCHEDULED April 17, 2011

I'm putting this here so that I can get maximum exposure. Not sure if enough people visit the regional forums.

Here's the deal. I'm trying to get a group of ZHPs together in San Diego so that we can take a group photo for the site. Casey Withers will be taking the picture.

In addition to taking the group photo, I've also arranged it so that Casey will take pictures of your cars on an individual basis. Of course, we'd never ask Casey to do this for free, but I've worked out a sweet deal for the group. The cost is $25 for each person. That $25 gets you a copy of the group photo (digital) and it will get you some individual time with Casey. Casey says that he will shoot several pictures of each car by itself. Each member who pays the $25 will also get the digital copies of those photos. They are yours to do what you will with them.

In sum, there is no cost if you just want to be in the group photo. But if you want to do a mini shoot with Casey (a professional photographer), the cost is $25 (which is a screaming deal).

If you are interested in doing this, please let me know. This photoshoot will take place on April 9, 2011 April 17, 2011. It would be on a Saturday Sunday. It will be at noon. It would be in San Diego. Exact location to be determined by Casey.

I also believe that non-ZHP owners -- who have made their cars look like ZHPs -- can attend as well. From the front, your cars look just like the front of a ZHP. That would work well for the group photo. Additionally, you can pay $25 to Casey if you want individual time with him.

If you can make it, please sign up here.

What a great offer, thanks so much to Marcus and Casey for setting this up and doing this as such a great price! I can't 100% lock down on this yet but so far, I'm fairly certain I can be there. I'll lock it and let you know for sure.

$25 is a bargain. Locals, you will kick yourself if you don't take advantage of this.

Marcus-SanDiego
03-25-2011, 11:18 AM
Yes. I'm glad that Casey was willing to do it this cheap. But what can I say? He's got a soft spot for the mafia.

Casey knows what he's doing, but I do want to ask about lighting... we wanna be pho-togs know that mid-day sun is not the best for pictures, any thought to moving the shoot closer to "the golden hour", sunset? (The reason I picked evening instead of morning but it would be tough for me to get there too early, and it might be that way for others). John

C Withers Media
03-25-2011, 12:22 PM
Move it too close to the golden hour and I may not be able to deliver on shots everybody who wants them...I have a shaded spot that is perfect for the group shot and artificial lighting will be used to counter the sun and render it meaningless on individual shots.

Ultimately, I dont care when we shoot...I am equipped for and can handle just about any situation... I actually would prefer that we shoot later in the day because it is definitely easier, but I think Marcus wants to be respectful of peoples weekend time.

Just let me know when and were and I will be there.

Agreed! $25 is an amazing deal for quality shots such as Casey's. Too bad I'm ~1,600 miles away.

C Withers Media

We are actually going to be taking the group shot at Qualcomm so if anybody is interested, we will be right next to the autox...From there, I am thinking either of the C W Media favorites are nearby...Islands or Fuddruckers.

We will play this week by ear. If it's raining on Friday -- and looks to be raining on Saturday -- we will reschedule. Otherwise, we're still on for this weekend.

The meet is at noon, so we can always play it by ear. Early Saturday morning I will tell everyone if it's a green light.

Nice meeting and hanging with all of you guys... I certainly appreciate the participation in the little photo jam session we had and you guys have some ridiculously clean and beautiful cars.


Lunch was great too. Thanks Mark...

Casey, thanks for taking the pictures today and hanging out with us.

Also, it was nice picking up a new member (who hasn't joined yet). I was driving down the freeway and noticed an alpine white ZHP. Apparently, he had followed this thread and decided that he was going to show up for the photo shoot. His name is Jorge. Nice guy. He'll be signing up soon.

Nice seeing the rest of the gang, too.

Oh man... can't wait to see the shots! Nice little taste there. In honor of the shoot I did take a couple of pics with my cheesy camera while I was on the road, so I'll see if anything came out and post it somewhere else. I wouldn't dare taint the beauty of Casey's awesome shots with my pics.

Bokeh is kind of an argued and vague term.

To me bokeh is the small fragmented balls of light that you see in the shot. To others the whole shallow depth of field may be considered bokeh.

My goal is to have all of the photos edited and emailed to the respective by this evening. If you have not already emailed me, please do so : cwithersmedia@gmail.com

Just need an email to respond you and remind me by color which car is yours.

I already have emails from ASenna and RITmusic.

Thank you again guys and I hope the pictures display your car in a way that makes you proud.

Thanks, Dane. Yeah, I don't know what exactly Casey did in post-processing, but my car has never looked cleaner... it looks like my car is made out of liquid ink.

Marcus, is it cool with you if I repost this pic in the other thread you created?

I am bringing back an old thread wanting to know if this is possible again??????

I will bring 2 cars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gary, we did this photoshoot so that we could get a picture for the site (see newest banner).

My next project will not require ZHPs. Instead, I will be looking for highly modified BMWs. Probably about 5 of them.

If we ever do another ZHP shoot, though, I will let you know.
