Smile More HIN Orlando Pics. (56k = X_X)

Actually, a lot of my pictures didn't turn out due to a variety of reasons (poor lighting, people in the way, autofocus), but here are a few that I salvaged. The weekend was fun and there were a lot of crazy cars there. However, these are mostly pics of Z's and friend's cars. There were MANY more nice cars in attendance, that in hindsight I should have spent more time shooting. If your car was there and there is not a picture of it here, it probably means the picture didn't turn out well. Sorry, maybe next year...

I really had no interest in the super-riced out feature cars (other than the blue widebody Z and the Top Secret Widebody Supra) so you won't be seeing many of them here.

Chris (MaximumSportZ) and I had a photo shoot with a european agency earlier in the day and the cars should be featured in a euro tuner mag and possibly one here in the US. It was fun and fortunately we avoided the rain until after the shoot was over.



Here is a complete list of the 800x600 images:

I'm going to be making larger copies of some of the better photos, so let me know which ones you'd like to see. I'm really partial to the shot of Ron's Z and the LS venom roadster, the close-up of the GT-R rear, and the red FD with red underglow.


Well, here they are. Enjoy:

Actually, there were a lot of Z's there (as expected), but the event was still not overcrowded with them. I naturally gravitated to them as they tended to be the more tasteful cars in the crowd. Unfortunately, tasteful doesn't win shows like this.

Keep in mind this is probably like 2% of the actual cars there.

Thanks, the show was actually MUCH better than the pics lead on. Many of my shots with models didn't turn out due to lighting, and I did really take very few of the cars in general. Next year I plan on taking more of groups of cars to give a better idea of the scope of the event.

There were many other nice cars in attendance depending on your preference. If I do attend this event next year I'll try to get more shots of general cars. I came back and looked at my photos and realized I focused on only the people I knew. haha.

As far as saying they sucked, its a California thing. People there think their sheet don't stink.

Not as many Z's in Miami? I thought that Miami's show would be better than the Orlando one for sure. Maybe I'm wrong. The scene in Orlando is pretty good and Tampa has a really big car (imports and domestics alike) scene, so there are some pretty nice custom modified cars up here regardless.


My daily driver is straight up JDM KA24E powered Nissan Frontier. It is a beater in all respects, as it gets driven hard and has more door dings than the average Maaco parking lot. I'll bet you can't guess what color it is.
