Group Pix...?

[RED]

So, group, is you is or is you ain't doing this picture thingy or we waiting for the summer tan look? Maybe we can stir up some interest on this matter and get the Lollies to pose with us! yeah, yeah, yeah, he he....

[Cyclone]

 [moto]  My schedule is slowing down so I can get involved with this at the end of June, or July sometime & would be happy to shoot photos !    -  I wonder if D2R is still interested in doing all the heavy lifting on the retouch & printing like he did last time?  [moto]

[♣ McKraut ♣]

I can save you some time there; no retouching is needed in a 20 meter radius from me and the bike. Just fyi.

Just give me enough notice so that I can get my hair and nails done.

Ok, here we are...End of June! How bout this weekend? Sunday? Where?

[Cyclone]

 [moto]  I'm game to shoot a photo - schedule is getting a lot of slack in July.  I'll start looking around for a location that would work on an early Sat or Sun so the light would be right & the heat soft.  I'll report back but it will definitely be after 4th of July !  When a great location is found we can start a new thread with a poll for which date is best.   [moto]  I still want to hand this off for finishing & fulfillment ...    D2R ?  [moto]

Cyclone, you rock!

I'll keep an eye out for the "new" group photo thread 

[fastwin]

Thanks but no pics of me please. Don't want to end up on America's Most Wanted like last time. I get tired of moving.

How practical would it be, Cyclone, to maybe combine the group pix along with ride?  There are one or two spots along the Muenster route that could work.  Of course there's all kinds of cool urban/downtown-type backdrops possible as well.

Don't know, just thinking aloud... 

Maybe someone else ou there in DFWM land has a favorite location for posed bike spots?

   Whatever Boobies wants Boobies gets !  ( the story of MY life  )

I think if everyone met for an almost sunrise photo & then took off after that for a ride that would totally work !  [moto]

I will not be able to go because I plan on bringing a truck with ladder, lighting gear, generator, etc. but that is just the way the cookie crumbles. 

I am kind of looking for a parking lot maybe in the Grapevine area ( is that central to this Group ? ) that has a pretty good slope, with the uphill part of the slope on the east side for backlight on the group.  Remember when you, me, & Caffiene Junkie got turned away at "Long Way Down" and that theatre parking lot had a pretty sloped area on the east side where we had parked in the shade?  Well something like that.

I will also have to arrange for permission - I don't want to do a guerrilla production & have the cops ( or worse, MALL Cops ) come bust us just when we are about ready to shoot.  So if anyone knows a great parking lot like this
which would be easy to get permission ( ie. not T.I., Bell helicopter, etc. ) let me know.

I'm thinking bikes will park cross slope with each rider by their own machine.... possibly holding the bike if the slope does not work with kickstands.

Still want some after the shoot production help or everyone may just get a fairly clean - ( yes I can do photoshop as well as anyone else - I just don't want to! ) digital file to deal with on their own.

Very cool.  There may be something in Ggrapevine at the small vineyard or possibly at the marina.  Also the dam across the east end of Lake Grapevine has possibilities as well.  I'll cruise over there early this week and check 'em out.

I'll ask my daughter, Meredith, a commercial photographer/graphic artist/PhotoShop artiste ( ) if she'll bring all her expensive gear and talent to do the photos and production stuff.  And she knows lighting - she may even know of a location.

(Hey, she still owes me for those first 18 years.)

I still kinda like the idea of shooting from the MotoLiberty balcony into the parking lot on a Sunday or something like that.  But I will leave that to more creative brains than mine.

Donald is already taking care of this......see above.

   Happy to have help - or to help someone else!  MotoLiberty balcony to parking lot does face East & could work - might be able to plug in there & skip the generator.  That parking lot is pretty rough &  would take a lot of retouching ... 

Since we did a photo looking down on the bikes last time I was looking for something different - but it's all good !
