Audi R8

Was browsing through the photos taken at photoshoots in the past. Decided to re-edit this picture to give a different feel. Still one of the most enjoyable photoshoots of all.

Strobe Lighting

Attended an advanced photography course on saturday at Singapore Arts Museum. One thing that i was very attracted to was the Strobe Lighting they used. Experienced it and i so wanted one of those setup as well. Expensive… Don’t even think about it.

Beware of the Type-ASS

The Honda S2000 Type S. Not much difference from the basic model, only spoiler, bodykit and alcantara leather seats.

Start off with my favourite pic.

Very Important Test

Yes, it’s the most important test of my life. Can’t afford to fail it as many of my friends and clients are placing high hopes on me. It’s the Traffic Police test. Can’t imagine the consequences if i failed it. Sweaty palms holding on to the steering wheels, maneuvering around the AMK neighbourhood. I remembered clearly, i made no mistakes, but end up with 6 demerit points. Delay in moving off and Incorrect positioning, don’t remember having make any of these mistakes. These instructors just can’t give a perfect score. At least i pass, and it’s a relief.

SGDC Mid Year Photoshoot & 430 Scuderia Part II

Program for the day was all lined up. After the GTR meetup, headed down to Millenia Walk to meet the guys from the Singapore Diecasters Club. We planned to have mass photoshoot at Marina South Pier. About 15 of us turned up and i have no idea how many models there are. All i know is there are a lot. Too many until we have no time to take pictures of all the cars. Some pics to share.

What i brought for the day.

The sky got dark very fast. Organiser should have set the time earlier.

Halfway during the shoot, guess who dropped by. Yes, Mr Scuderia. Was supposed to pass him the pics taken at Hong Seh Motors the day before. Did some snapshots of his car as well.

The ride is. Stiff.

GTR Gathering at Kallang

Met up with an old client who previously drove an Evo 9, sold it and now driving a GTR.  He organised a small gathering and called me along. About 10 turned up, but some left early, so only manage to snap a group shot of 5 GTRs.

Collection of the First Ferrari 430 Scuderia in Singapore

Went down to Hong Seh Motors on the morning of the 21st of June to witness the collection of the First Ferrari 430 Scuderia. In fact there were 2 for collection on that morning. The smile on the owners faces were totally priceless.

 Second to arrive in the morning. Cars were still covered. So eager to lift it up to take a peek.

Owners then arrived, sign on the dot, receive the keys and unleash the beast.

Red one belongs to my friend. Black one belongs to a low profile guy, well he always gets the first ferraris…

The Red one was the first to hit the roads.

Then the black…

Batman’s New Ride

It’s been a while since i update. Here’s the final pictures of the Matt Black GTR i shot. These pics caused a lot of commotion over in the US. It all started with one guy posting it in the GTR owners forum, and soon it was spreading worldwide in a lot of popular automotive blogs, portals, sites. This car is just one of a kind. Well, it’s good exposure for me. But it has caused my website to exceed the bandwidth limit for the month of june. Got a record breaking 48,000+ Hits just on that month alone. If this goes on… have to switch to a better server.  Even the owner of the car thinks the exposure is overwhelming and was never expected.

Yes this was the amount of fuel we were left with. Had to struggle to a petrol station within 5km.
