NSX Photoshoot :)

[Malcolm Feth]

Hi guys,

I'm not sure if that's the right place to put the info (maybe I should put it in off-topic?), so feel free to move it to the right place...

There is no better place to find a volunteer than NSX Forum, hence I have created this topic :)

I'm looking for a Honda NSX for a session to take some nice pictures. I am an automotive photographer based in Bracknell, Berkshire UK and that is be a preferred location to take photos - I've got few nice places in my mind :)
I don't have any specific model, nor colour in my mind as long as it is a NSX in a fairly good condition, and clean ;) We will take some static shots, rig shots (car in move) and night shots with studio lights / light-painting.
I've got few days in my mind, mostly weekends, when we could do it. I'm quite flexible throughout the October.

You can find a little bit more info about me and my work on http://www.nineteen80one.com/ or my FB: https://www.facebook.com/Nineteen80one
Please drop me a PM here on the forum, you can shoot me an email to malcolmfeth@nineteen80one.com or PM on FB.

Thanks!

Hello! Good luck finding someone. We don't own an NSX yet but would jump at the opportunity.

We met today with Jonathan (britlude) to take some shots... Great day and a lot of fun...
A little teaser, but I will finish all other photos ;)

[britlude]

very interesting day/experience.... 172 miles, 4 hours with photographer, 3 locations, 500+ photos

[britlude]

Photoshoots def keep him fit, up and down to get the angles, and as for all that running around beside moving cars for the tracking shots..... ;-)

[Malcolm Feth]

It's time for one of the proper shots from last weekend ;)

[Senninha]

Great photo!

[soddy]

i like that photo, looks great and the green looks fab too. love your wheels.

[exiges1]

Loving that, so low at the front, is that because of having bigger wheels or lowered suspension?

[goldtop]

Looking good! Hope to see more. :)

[TheSebringOne]

Fab picture!

[Silver Surfer]

So good...worth posting again on the 2nd page....I wonder what a Red/Black car will look like (Not Geoffs as I know the answer to that thanks).;)

Thanks... I you like this photo more than I expected!
This is one of the first rigshots, but I think there are better from the day :)
Hopefully I will find enough time this weekend to finish work on rest and I will drop you a link to a small gallery

ps.. I slightly lowered the car, just a little bit ;)

[britlude]

Definitely camera magic at work... :)

To see the process is fascinating!!!

And it looks great lowered, just a shame our roads don't encourage it ;)

[nobby]

Great pic

i am really impressed with what certain people can do with a camera

[Malcolm Feth]

For me, the whole day was only about this one shot... everything else is just "by the way" ;)
My girlfriend loves NSXes (me too, but there is no enough headroom) and I think, that's going to be next car for her...

[Silver Surfer]

Fantastic!!!

[Jivaldinho]

I have to say this is some impressive automotive photography, A lot of time and skill and a good eye as well.

The NSX looks insane in these shots. Lowered is definitely the way to go, just gives the car that extra aggressive look that adds to the already universally pleasing aesthetic

[britlude]

seeing the process behind this pic and what's involved it's amazing!!!

very pleased!

[WhyOne?]

That is a great photo in so many ways.

[Senninha]

JOKING! Its really clever what can be achieved ...

[L696ULO]

Great photos, you sure it's not Britlude's mini me, I can't see a driver in any of them!

[britlude]

i was there!

...and it's all in the leaf chucking, it's the chuckers that make the difference!

I believe what we are seeing here is Britlude's stunning car control in keeping the NSX straight, at speed , while REVERSING over fallen leaves ( together with excellent photography obviously) !!

[britlude]

i'm sworn to secrecy.....

i could tell you, but i'd have to kill you :)

[Malcolm Feth]

Just sharing a full gallery from that day... http://www.nineteen80one.com/autumn-is-coming-honda-nsx/
I've got 2 more photos to add, later today... Enjoy some NSX photos ;)

ps... I've got one more person from this forum with a red '04 NSX and probably we will shoot this weekend. Can't wait :)

[Malcolm Feth]

As I mentioned in my previous post, one more NSX coming up! ;) We spent more than 6 hours today working on some shots...
ps.. I still like older NSX front more!

A little teaser...

[Mistercorn]

Looking good. I understand popup headlights were dropped by most manufacturers due to front end deformation and pedestrian safety rules, not because they were an aesthetic improvement.

[gturner008]

Really enjoyed the day with Andrzej. Very professional. Must have taken 500 shots. Looking forward to seeing the finished pictures.

[Malcolm Feth]

One of the first shots of Gary's NSX... more to come, but I've got few other things to finish before I start investing time into these photos ;)

[gturner008]

Thanks Andrzej. Looking cool and looking forward to seeing the final set.

[Malcolm Feth]

Green NSX is a great car for photos, so one more of britlude's NSX. I finally finished whole gallery and all photos are online ;)

[britlude]

see, I'm IN this one !!! :)

[Rob_Fenn]

Fantastic photos!

[britlude]

came out really well :)

there's a red one in the post production process too

[goldtop]

Looks fantastic and should bump up the desirability of green NSXs! ;)

Is that a 'mottling' effect on the driver's window? I get something like that with a particular pair of sunglasses and certain car windows.

[britlude]

green NSX's are always desirable, being the most sophisticated of colours :)

the mottling is a combination of lighting, lenses and the toughening process on the glass itself.... quite often see it at twilight too!

[Malcolm Feth]

Few shots from our session with Red NSX this time. Yes, it took a while as I was busy with other stuff... but there you go! :)
I will drop a link in few days for full gallery if you would like to see more, in meantime, enjoy these...

.....the mottling is a combination of lighting, lenses and the toughening process on the glass itself.... quite often see it at twilight too!

First and foremost I strongly suspect that it will be down to a polarizing filter being used.

[britlude]

i'm sure Malcolm will be along shortly, but the red collection has been put up on his website....

http://www.nineteen80one.com/deep-red-joy-honda-nsx/

lets just say it's stunning!

[nobby]

MINT!!!!!

but such a shame only 14k ... a car that should/needs driven

[gturner008]

Yep, 14k miles. It's not what you'd describe as a daily driver. I do plan to drive it in the summer. Though. Guessing 2k miles/year. Last time it was out I took it to see JMG at Lotus. He remembered driving one in the early 90's. Loved it then. Loves it now.

[Pride]

Last time it was out I took it to see JMG at Lotus. He remembered driving one in the early 90's. Loved it then. Loves it now.

I've got to say that after having driven a 2004 NSX a few years ago it felt distinctly different to my 92 NA1 so maybe he just likes the shape:)

Really lovely photos though.

[gturner008]

To be fair, he only looked at the car in visitor's reception car park. So yes, shape only.
