Got my Promaster strobes yesterday.. IT'S ON

Since I've started shooting w/ flash, ambient light shoots just don't cut it for me personally anymore. Control of light ALWAYS helps, whether it's adding more light, or removing it in certain areas for creativity..

So I decided to pull the trigger yesterday and got my promaster strobes for my portrait and automotive shoots yesterday..



Got the 300c deluxe 2 light kit.. Will also still be using my 2 speedlights for accessory flash if necessary as well..

http://www.promaster.com/products/pr...p?product=9191


Also ordered my Cybersyncs remote triggers as well..

Transmitter


Receivers



Can't wait to get my car ready and go to town.. R1, I hope you're getting your own car ready amist everyone else's.. I owe you a shoot..

I'll definitely be opening up the services for anyone else that is wanting a serious shoot of their car.. Just shoot me a PM for pricing. Different packages will be available (including rolling and rig shots), don't worry I won't take "too much" of your mod money and getting good progression shots are just as good as the final stage, so don't be hesitant if your car doesn't have EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD on it yet, we can do multiple shoots, I'll even give discounts for repeat customers.

This will also serve as a means to get a custom shirt done w/ one of the shots of your car as well.. (I know some are interested in one off shirts, I'll be getting these done locally.. Don't know if you knew or not, but AT Malone is a professional print screener by trade. He works in Allen. I visited his facilities yesterday to pick up my little league soccer team's jerseys that I had him print.. They came out EXCELLENT.)

I'll let R1's and the shots of my car I take in the near future serve as examples of my shots if you haven't seen my photography before.. I not only shoot, but do creative photoshopping as well if commissioned. (My avatar is an example of one of my rig shots..)


Stay tuned..

sounds great man.. I love helping other photographers out as well... so feel free to come to me w/ any questions you might have about using your own camera, and photography in general as well. I've been shooting for a while and have picked up a few things, some real time savers.

Yet another testiment to your non-ending dedication to your patrons.. There's no time limit on the offer bro.. I got you.. It just gives me more opportunity to think about how I want to capture your "chameleon".. I think your car is undergoing as many changes as mine.

Don't worry man.. I'll have some prime locations scouted as well.. I can't wait to see what all you get done, but like I said, the journey is also awesome to document..

I'm gonna make you put everything down and shoot w/ those Bees.. Hehehehehehehe.. That's my goal. But you just got your stickers, so I know you're hyped to get some more shoots done so all the sick cars are rocking your logos.. They look excellent by the way.. Inspiration to do my own actually..

I'm actually entertaining the idea of doing an online blog type "magazine" to highlight the cars that I shoot as well.. I think the DFW scene as far as Gs is growing by the second (especially w/ Strafe's help) and I think that it really needs to be showcased properly. I think it'd be kewl to get some shots of your ART pipes and what not..

I actually envy you being as close as you are to folks like Calvin and Marcus (still closer than me)... You have a huge support system out there in Cali, but if you wanna throw any questions my way, I can definitely help you out over PMs, texts (pm me for my cell) or emails or whatever man..
