One of the greatest clichés of the car modding culture is that your work can never be duplicated, you are truly the originator of your work of art. A great advantage car enthusiasts hold is they don't ever have to worry about granny passing along with the same exact car! or struggling to find they're car in a parking lot filled with 100's of cars that look identical to theirs! For anyone that has ever attempted a build like this, will understand the hard work and money that goes into this hobby to make a car "Presentable". Johnny is a Honda Enthusiast who pursued his passion by making his ride resemble a DA9, a Japanese Honda Integra. Many of his parts like his headlights have been shipped from japan into the states to give his car that aggressive look.
Anyways onto the shoot, I grabbed my tripod and my camera and met up with johnny at a local gas station. As we were on the sunken meadow parkway heading out to our location we noticed there weren't many cars on the parkway so we decided it was a great opportunity to get a few rolling shots. The technique used is called Panning, which can produce amazing results if you perfect it! The idea behind Panning is following your subjects motion as the picture is being taken to give your background that blurred effect. So, we slowed down to about 30-40 mph and i began to shoot. As my friend was driving to the left of the car i rolled down the passenger window and began to take many pictures at different shutter speeds. I tried to stay at relatively low shutter speed to get more of the blurred effect in the background. Out of the 20-30 pictures i was only satisfied with 2 or 3! It is important to take a great amount of pictures when doing something like this. All in all, it was a good shoot. I had a great time along with a few friends who came along to watch this happen. -NIVLEK
