Phew. For a second there, I thought I'd be looking at a car show, but no, you made my morning just that bit better Poon. :wink: :lol:

There are some nice shots there.

Some of the framing needs a bit of work, but there are some nice portraits there.

Hi Poon,

Car shows are different in China, we are not lucky enough to have so many beauties on display with the cars :wink:

Very nice cars, love the Ferraris. You will have to let me know your secret for getting the girls to pose and smile for you. I notice the girl on the Mazda stand has a number on her (number 21), what is that for?

I have a feeling you took a lot of photos, do you have a gallery of them? (as if there isn't enough here :lol: ).


Thanks


Glen PS we introduced a 4 photo limit recently :shock: We might be able to post a link to a bigger gallery for these sort of displays :wink:

In China or SEA,
More beauties are more cars. Beautiful cars attract beauties, it's the rules.
The more high specs or more expensive cars, the more beauties surrounded.

I promise to shoot more cars next time.

At least 50/50 cars and girls.

Men love both. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Poon, loved the shots, but looking into the backround, you seem to have your supporters/customers there, as all of them are shooting dslr's with speedlights. Well equipped amateurs or were you with the pro's?

Everyone seems to love these pics BUT DAMN I can't get the pics to open to see them!

I think I am missing out big time, from home or work, I still can't view the pics, they must be pretty big.

From what everyone has said... the cars are REALLY nice :)
