Pictures: A few of my photo shoots from 2009
Here we go again, hope you're not tired of my picture threads :tongue_smilie:
Since I got my driving licence I've borrowed lots of cars from different dealerships. I write car reviews for a local news paper, take pictures for my website and drive cars because I love it. A great combination of my different hobbies :biggrin:
These are some of my photo shoots from 2009:
First off, the Toyota IQ. Just as the snow had melted away this cute little car was delivered to the local Toyota dealership. Since it's a Toyota and an odd looking one I had to borrow it.
A friend of mine was about to sell his car and asked me if I could take a few pictures of it for the ad. He had a Nissan 200SX Targa, one of 200 ever made.
Another friend of mine just wanted a few pictures to show his mates. He's got an Audi A4 Avant which is now a 2 seater because of the huge speaker system.
He later replaced all of the speakers and got a new custom paint job. The mirror didn't last very long :tongue_smilie:
Yet another friend of mine sold his car and guess who took the pictures for the ad. Unfortunately I was in a hurry and I was only satisfied with two of the pictures.
BMW Z3 M Coupe
Back in June it was my girlfriends graduation and I had to get a convertible of some kind to drive her around town as they all do. In my small home town many people know me as the guy with the Lexus, so what could be more perfect than a Lexus convertible? :w00t:
I called the marketing manager at Lexus Sweden and asked if they had an SC430 available to borrow. As the model is pretty old they don't have any demo cars anymore, but he told me he would do his best to get hold of one. A few days later he phoned me up and asked me if I could pick the car up in Stockholm and return it four days later. One of the Lexus dealers was about to take delivery of a brand new SC430 and I was pretty much going to be the first one to drive it :drool:
When I picked it up it had 84km on the clock. Two days later I had done 440 miles
The next car I borrowed was a Jaguar XF SV8, but it was only for an hour or so.
A local paint shop owner painted my engine covers for a few pictures of his car. As I would have loved to photograph his car anyway I gladly accepted the deal :thumbup:

Love the Nissan 200SX Targa really nice looking car.
Don't like the Audi but the work that gone into that must be lots of hours
IQ Looks fun i used to drive around in a Think at work
rob what camera do you use Patrik?I use a Nikon D80 and the lenses I usually use are a Sigma 10-20mm wide angle with a circular polarizer filter and a Nikkor 55-200mm. For interior photos I also use a Nikon SB-400 flash.

Fantastic pics as always, and you are lucky to just get a shot of a car when you want
Great pics as ever, Patrik. I like the 200SX, and love the Pontiac !
