    Craig McVeay and I are offering Glamour shots for MINIs on Thurs and Fri night from 4:00 - 7:00. It looks like Thurs is already full but Friday still has openings

    MINIs On The Dragon - Photo Shoot - Friday

    We're charging $10; you'll get your images electronically and we will edit them. We can also do some fun post processing effects if you want to show off the personality of your MINI. Each shoot will be about 10ish minutes long. We can do a lot of shots in that amount of time. We'll capture your MINI from several angles and can do shots with and without you.

    We will set up a schedule since no one wants to wait around for up to 3 hours for their turn. So we will give appointment times.

    If you already signed up and want a specific time frame, feel free to PM me. I will be happy to help you out. Craig is on vacation this week, so not as easy to get a hold of. Please don't PM me for a time slot unless you are signed up on the site. I'll get the email addresses of everyone that has signed up from Barry so that we can be sure that everyone has a time that works for them.

    We will pick a location once we arrive at the Dragon, it will be near Fontana. We arrive on Monday and we'll want to evaluate the light and scenery of the spot that we choose. It will be posted on the door where the registration room is.

    We're donating all of the proceeds to the food bank, so we're doing this for fun and charity!

    Sorry we can't do more MINIs, but we also need to hit the roads and enjoy the event. We're both really excited about this idea!
    Is it Dragon Time yet???!!!

    Thanks for signing up. I sent everyone that has signed up an email to set up a time. When you get a chance, let me know. I'll eventually post the schedule in this thread.

    HA! Don't worry about our camera's, they're pretty tough. Luckily, I put you on Craig's schedule so my camera is safe. He's on vacation while I book all the times

    :cornut:

    Seriously, we will shoot your MINI with or without you and it will look awesome and you'll have fun too. It's going to be a blast. My favorite is the post processing personality that we can add to a shot.

    How much post processing is done. I'd be interested but the front of my car looks like it has been in a sandstorm and there are other visual issues as well that would lead to a not so glamorous shot.

    Nathan I can use a variety of techniques both when we shoot it and post processing to deal with the paint. If we don't get so close that helps a lot. But we can use some filter effects post processing that add textures or glow effects that will smooth it out.
