Thanks for all who have confirmed and Gary for adding this to the calender.

Dviv and Mattk need to confirm... will PM them.

Do we have a rain/bad weather backup? [maybe setup tripods inside another car and wear a black raincoat for painting :mrgreen: ]

Just wanted to remind everyone to wear black (and non reflective stuff). :shock:

I think auxr8220 and the Tangcla hold their softboxes about 30cm from the car. Would be hard (but not impossible with a boom arm) to be out of the frame..

A work mate has a '67(?) Mustang (Red), lives "up the road" from Tunks, and has also recently invested in some Nikon technology.... :up:

I'll have to do some "suggestive arm-bending".

A: Sure, the hippo racing is every Tuesday night in Kings Cross. Come naked.

Tangcla did some of my car earlier this year.
This one has been photoshopped to remove all the background but you get the idea...

Just a quick reminder ...

7pm this evening, at the boat ramp at Tunks Park.

We'll be coming from a late afternoon/early evening Christmas in [pick your month] function in the city ... should be there pretty close to seven, depending upon traffic heading out of the city.

I had a great time and have a few decent shots to show off as well...now to see if I can upload them to my website tonight...

HUGE thanks for Jeremy (for that beautiful car) and to everyone who came as you all made it a great night out.
