This time more "entire car" shots. Yes, they're all taken by me but I don't have time to put the logo on all of them.

Rice from the factory:

In a shitty colour (yes, it was actually pink :cry: ), but still one of my favourite cars of all time: 300SL

The Pontiac Solstice looked horrible IMO. It seems like a decent roadster until you see that disgusting front grille.

This is a cool concept car from GM:

The C6 Z06 looks fantastic! The curves (especially the front wheel arches) reminded me of one of the best looking cars of all time: the early 70's Singray:

And now for Ferrari. There was a huge line-up of people waiting to get close to the Ferraris. They were all boxed in and the representatives would only let one person at a time every 10 minutes or so. But this older lady from Ferrari saw me with the tripod and must've thought I was a professional photographer because she let me in in front of everyone. 8) The F430 looked fucking stunning. :shock: The wheels on the 612 were nasty.

Now on to Lambo. The Murcielago Roadster was stunning. I talked to the big cheese there (he was Italian). He said he's been out with Valentino Balboni and that the dude (Valentino) is amazing. 8)

For the brembo and Sameer' :

P3 and GT40. It was incredible how wide the read tires were on the P3

Miniature (already sold):

Bye-bye Autoshow. See you next year!

EDIT: Merged the previous topic with this one:

For the JW Audi Strike Team.

Subaru Impreza WRX STi:

A few "entire car" shots:

Hey Bad, did you have a tripod with you? If you did then Im pretty sure I saw your punk ass there j/k...I just saw a guy with curly hair, around 6 feet, kinda looked like you.....not sure though since I didnt really look.

BADMIHAI · 02-23-2005, 12:37 AM

I guess that was me indeed. I did take a tripod with me. Here's a pic of me at the show:

Nice afro man.

Thanks! It is very popular with the ladies. And I'm not joking.

And about being a "professional photographer" at the Ferrari stand... thanks for the advise, now I know what to do at the Geneva show next month: I need a pro camera and a tripod and stare in front of the Ferrari stand until someone there let me enter!

dude, just walk in with the confidence of Jay-Z and when they say: "sir, excuse me, who are you, and what are you doing here"(and they will), make the stupidest face in the world and say: pardon me, do you know who I am?
Say you're from car mag or somethng and that you're really sorry that you forgot your press indentification in the hotel room and that you know better than that. Say that you tought that they were notified that you are comming......

This way, you'll be faster than them in mentioning the press identification, wich will throw their doubts out of the window. say you're kindove in a hurry because you have to get to the lambo stands and then you have a meeting in the town centre.... and it would really be in your way to go all the way back to the hotel.....but if they want , they can call the the people who run the motor show, who have the list of journalists visiting....and they won't want to go to all that trouble because of one guy.....then just say, you'll be quick, that you just have to take some outside and inside shots. When you say inside shots be as calm and confident as possible, that's your way inside....trust me...............if your bluff will be convincing you'll get interior shots of some of the main stars....

trust me, this is expirience talking.

Good luck, and don't forget the tripod. And one more thing. Try to bring one to many bags. The ones that you store you equiptment in. You'll be more convincing......

i know exactly the one you're talking about. I tried to take a pic, but was politely declined.

By the way, amazing pics badmihai. Looks like they had more lights on when you went.

adamwich · 02-23-2005, 12:11 PM

Some really nice cars - thanks for sharing the pictures!

BADMIHAI · 02-23-2005, 01:17 PM

Looks like they had more lights on when you went.

They didn't. The lighting was a pain in the ass actually, with all those overhead lights making weird reflections. I just used long exposures.

SilviaEvo · 02-23-2005, 01:26 PM

Wow Mihai the professional photographer!!! sounds catchy dont it?

BADMIHAI · 02-23-2005, 01:42 PM

Hahahaa. I wouldn't mind being a photographer. It seems like a damn nice job.

Wutputt · 02-23-2005, 04:24 PM

Some great coverage of the show. I loooove the detailed pics. Nice job
