Girls from Auto Salon Adelaide 2007

Was photographing today at Auto Salon Adelaide for a NZ Magazine / Website and have just finished working on a bunch of images.

Wavyille is a pretty sucky place to photograph, weird colours from all the lights the exhibitors were using and pretty uncontrollable backgrounds, ended up going in pretty tight and running around using the 550EX on the end of a E-TTL cord.

Lots of things to photograph if anyone is interested in heading on down tomorrow where its on from 10 till 6.

Needs more cars. Don't these Auto Salon models know how to smile? Only the first one seems to show any sort of happiness expression. They all have that deadpan look. Been around Myspace too long...

Talk about hard lighting conditions... #2 and #3 are the same car yet in #2 the car looks blue and #3 the car looks purple!!!

You did well under the conditions.

Onyx - C'mon, car chicks always have to show attitude :roll:

Realising that #1 is Queen St Smash Repair's Silvia has me more excited than any of the girls in the photos, OMG I think I have to question my sexuality...

Is that pearlescent paint? I can barely make out a white leather interior. Did that carry over to the dash? What's it running under the bonnet?

2nd and 4th ones are great. Nice to see someone finally make the girls look decent-ish.

Phwoar, struggling to remember much - their main display car was the E36 but wanted to do a shot with the girl sitting in it - bit hard when the car is on blocks heh.

The interior of the Silva was an off-white throughout, pretty sure it included the dash. Absolutely no idea whats under the hood though unfortunately, spoke to the owner of the BMW and he mentioned that all the details for their cars are up on their website.

@ Piro Stitch - I think it just comes down to which of the girls not to point the camera at; they definitely came alot skankier.
