I'd be interested in knowing how you would like to set this up. But to maintain my drama free life within the Scion scene, I'd sit out anything like this. I can always help judge. And I can be bought. hahaha j/k
I would leave the competitions to forums like Smithsonian or some High end Auto mag.

Maybe,
My experience says it's better to have Photo outings where there is no competition. Allot of people on diff. levels of skill but every one gets a chance to ask questions and or take there own shots. In NYC there were Photo meets at places like the Brooklyn bridge and so on.
To be frank too many people here think WOW nice camera! When it really have very little to do with a good photograph.
So I am Def. up for a Photo Meet. Maybe another subject besides cars?
PS: Edwin it's about time for you to cough up some pics of your own from Knotts yourself there buddy Hehe

thanks man...
i'm kinda over shooting shows because there's just too much going on:
people walking in front of you shooting
can't control lighting
can't really choose your background
just not my thing

True..... but it keeps me involved in the scene and in Jan I will be out of site in school most likely. Commercial Photography FTW But I figure why not give back and get as many decent memories as possible I think I have about 35 scion shows I have covered over the past 2yrs. under my belt. 90% free....

lOl, well you sure have a larger canvas at a beach than at a show But night club stuff yeah gets old. Shows do too, but glad I never did 2 or three a week! I would have needed to get paid for that.

But I figure why not give back and get as many decent memories as possible I think I have about 35 scion shows I have covered over the past 2yrs. under my belt. 90% free....I keep seeing you post up about how you're covering shows and such for free.. And that people need to give you credit for your shots and all. I understand the credit part, and and I agree. It should be done with all pictures. Credit should be given where credit is deserved.
I think most of us just take pics, and post them to share with others for the joy photography. Although some people's coverage may not be "professional", it still is coverage. And those who missed out on the show still get to see what they missed out on. There are usually several threads, and tons of people contributing to the coverage of shows, but I really don't notice anyone else asking for credit and such, besides you. When others post, it's just simply "Here are my pics from the show. Enjoy." But when you post, it's about credit and how it keeps you doing what you do for free... May I ask why? If you'd like, I'll give you a dollar each show I see you at.

???? wow dude. Hmmm, I guess you felt the need to share your thoughts. Well for this entire time I never really put my Logo over my images. So it's kind of common sense to ask for credit. I figure maybe your jumping the gun and kind of really need to think a tad before posting on a public thread.
I DID not ask for Credit this time or last
I Praise almost everyone on there photos and make some comments where yes I have been around the photo scene about as long as you have been alive So why not PM me and ask me instead of posting on a thread? Hmmmm kind of makes me wonder. I don't post all my work here, just my car stuff. Cars are easy to shoot. Most of the work is already done for us the the millions of $$ put into designing the darn things. It's not a big challenge.
If you like go check my Gallery online and we can talk shop at some point if your interested.

Honestly, credit doesn't count for anything, but it does ease your mind when you know that people know you took the shots...
it's even more so when the audience gets larger and larger...even then...it still counts for nothing but contributing to your ego which doesn't put money in your pocket or food on the table...
it is nice to know that people recognize that you put in the work though...
in the end...its about the ego
