Some of them even triggered codes even though it said they wouldnt. If you have a Coupe or LCI sedan I would suggest going with the Alpine HID's. They are bright as $%&* and can be seen during the day as well as night.

LEDs on the black one in the back. Just sayin...

Jafza's are certainly bright in daylight. The only thing is I don't want to see individual LED's, I want a solid ring look

Esco · 04-27-2011, 09:00 PM

Jafza05, lights look perfect...just made the swap! Now you can see why I was so anxious huh?

Thanks again!

Vigorous · 04-28-2011, 12:15 PM

I'm gonna try and head to EVS. Hopefully see some new and old faces!

Hooy · 04-28-2011, 10:00 PM

Are we gonna try to do a shoot this weekend? I'm mostly available. Just gonna see Fast Five with an ex sometime, but I'd be cool if y'all wanted to join.

Canon 40D and Canon EFS 18-135mm. The lens is good for an all-purpose lens, but has some annoying barrel distortion. Once I am done being lazy and cheap, I will pick up the EF 17-40 L. I have a 70-200mm L also, but didn't use it for this last shoot.

As for the rolling shoot this weekend, I don't think I am going to be able to do it. I'll work on setting it up for next weekend. However I would like to go to this car show. What time is everyone going?

Litos · 04-28-2011, 10:37 PM

i'm down for some rolling car shots.....

here's a few i've done handheld - i don't have a rig.

Cool shots! I like the Benz one a lot. What equipment do you use? I'll make sure to include you during the planning on the next shoot. We also made a facebook group if you scroll up you can see the link.

I don't have a rig either and figured I'd do it handheld as well. At most maybe use a monopod and a remote trigger for some cool angles. The shot cossio posted was while barreling down the highway and trying to take pics at the same time. Quite safe eh? Will need some drivers if we want to do it legit.

I volunteer to be a driver since I'm on crap wheels for a while
