Badger's 2015 Reunion Photos Thread

[UdubBadger]

Hey all,

Thank you to everyone for letting me snap pix of their cars. I wish I was in better physical health this weekend to not feel so drained. Hopefully I wasn't too much of a pill ;).

I'll be uploading the photos I took here for everyone to see. If you shot with me specifically I will send you a link to the HighRes images for you to download. Again if anyone wants photo products (prints, canvas wraps, metal prints, ect...) I can arrange it at a pretty good price from some resources I have.

It was great getting to know you all ... and your cars! :cheers

The sheer number of Imolas was staggering (as a percentage of those attended) - as was the total lack of showing from the other colors! Come on folks, next year there had better be more of the other colors! Pick up the slack!

Looking Good Seth! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the photo time, Seth. I'm glad we worked something out. I've never had a professional photograph my car before; unfortunately I drew the short straw and didn't get a photo from good ol' Casey at one of the previous meets because we had to disband on the road trip before he could finish taking photos of the remaining cars. :(

I'm sure whatever you took will prove that it's not the subject (in this case a very weathered and worn E46), it's the photographer that makes it interesting!

TiAg will be repped next year for sure at least 1x.

Just one man's opinion, but I think if you have both, you should bring the 330i. It is a ZHP meet after all. But whatever, I like all cars and you can show up in a clapped out 240SX if you want to, I'll still chill witcha. :rofl

Both of his cars are ZHP's. lol
Just one is black, the other is Imola. Technically the black one is his wife's car...

Right…and everything Imola was a sedan, no coupes aside from the M3. Surprised no Silver-Gray ZHP's, they're quite common as well. I'd have brought mine but Seattle is too far :(

So only 1 ZHP coupe in attendance?

[Johnmadd]

Awesome. Thanks you.

I was there but I didn't make it to the shoot and was there for Sunday's activities only.

Nice pictures Seth.

Did you guys take rolling shots as well?

A little to close to the curb for Content Aware!

We did a bit of everything. These were just the quick edit ones. I'll dig into the photoshoots soon.

I stumbled across this thread in Tapatalk...was looking for it in the 2015 reunion gallery...

Good shots Seth and your M has come a long way... Very nicely and tastefully done.

I missed having my ZHP there. I could of added another black sedan to the mix but Kristen's 135 is too nice/bad-ass to leave at home. Next year we'll try to bring both...
The cars remind me of Jonny Walker...

[UdubBadger]

haha yeah Rob, figured it was image centric so I put it in the gallery section in case people who didn't make it don't wonder into the Reunion section. ;)

[Sockethead]

Just realized there is a blue e92 missing from the pics... Stu got stranded without his car after the rally... it was back at cars and coffee near the Cincinnati water front....

[UdubBadger]

Yeah true!

Great shot of Wobbie.

Honestly Seth how did you learn to do such great things with a camera???? Is it all the experience behind the lens or is it purely taking advantage of the lighting and wide variety of lenses??? IM SOOOOOO INTRIGUED.............:praise:praise:praise

[UdubBadger]

$80k in college education, and about another $20k in gear but really you can do the same stuff with a point and shoot and a good tutor. ;)

Where did you go to school? I'd love to take some photography classes in college but not sure if they are worth the money. Would it be better to apprentice or become good friends with a great photographer in the area? My college career choice has nothing to do with photography but would love to get good at it, as I plan to travel a lot in the future.

[UdubBadger]

I'd say apprentice with some guys who have skills to teach you would be the easiest and cheapest road to take in your case.
