FINALLY! I have some pix of my little cars!


















Yeah.... panning a HW race while being the "driver" in both cars and photographer is really not the easiest thing you can try to do. I think this one crappy shot took me 40 shots to get.







My favorite Hot Wheels ever.

This photo kicks ASS would you mind if i show it to the guys on the Hot Wheels forum? how the heck did you do that!! just WOW!!

^ Go for it Randy! I'm honored you'd wanna show that off. I think it's a bit poor. hahaha!

Setup: My backyard. That's the leaf-covered lawn and my sidewalk.

I set both cars to the left side and pushed them across the scene. Then I jumped over to the camera and tried to pan them. Long-ish shutter speed on manual exposure. The camera is just on the ground and rotating. I got a ton of shots with no car in it at all. It was just trial and error. It woulda been a lot easier with someone to push the cars, but no one else was home.

Really sick shot dude. I've got a Hot wheels, but nothing in comparison to some of you guys' collections.

I took some pix the other day. Nothing special. I wanted to try a new lighting technique, so I grabbed the nearest Hot Wheels and went crazy.

I love this little car. It stands proud with my other Toyotas. I'm trying to resist painting the mirrors and tail lights.

I'm amazed to not see more of this one on the HW threads. It's gorgeous. One of my favorite non-licensed cars in a while.

I had to shoot the Gasser.

very cool!! more please!!!

Adam, can I see what your photo box looks like? your background came out much cleaner looking than mine, especially like the reflection on the bottom (mirror image) of the cars

I'm no good at photographing in macro. I've always enjoyed the work the guy in the provided link does. Someone needs to try it and post up some pics!

I like the Then & Now cars, and I really like taking a few pics of them side by side.
