Continuing on the automotive theme, I decided to try out a taillight shot as well. For this, I pulled the car in straight (worlds easier than trying to back it in), with the rear just barely out the garage door. I found a small piece of 2×4 and propped it between the seat and the brake pedal, pushing the seat just forward enough to get the lights to activate. Got out the fog machine, turned it on, and snapped a few shots. Got about 75 in all, most with varying amounts of smoke, angles, and exposures. Liked this one the best.
As some of you may know, I have a bit of a love affair with Yelp. While I’ve used it for quite a while to find various hidden gems and know which places to stay away from, I only last month started sharing my opinions in the form of reviews. Yelp allows you to give a 1 to 5 star rating to almost anything you can think of (restaurants, doctors, stores, towns, etc) and attach along some text on your experience there. Should you contribute enough to the site, Yelp rewards you by selecting you for Elite; a promotion of sorts that distinguishes you as one of the more helpful contributors, granting you access to Elite only events held regularly. These events are ususally fully comped, with free drink and food, and are a great way to get out, meet new people, and try some different places.
