Hot Stuff Photoshoot

A photoshoot was organised on Feb 11 to feature the Wish Club. About 120 cars gathered for this event to showcase the car and the club for Hot Stuff magazine.

An impressive event and obviously the organisers got more than they can handle. As can be seen from this photo, the cars were lined all the way to the back of Carpark A at Marina South.



And there's more Wishes at the side still waiting to be lined up. Obviously the color coded arrangement didn't work too well.



The location could not accomodate that many cars and some didn't even borther to wait to finish the shoot before they left. Towards the end, it became a bit of a mess. That's my car in the front!! But I don't think that part will be seen in the final photo. The photographer came with a obsolete Sony 707. That camera does not have a wide enough lens to cover the event. Shame.



The front part is still quite neat and looks quite impressive. Thank goodness the rain didn't last too long and in the end, the weather held out.



And finally the folks who make it all happen by being there. Great work!



I think all in all, everyone had fun with a few members feeling left out and clueless. It cannot be helped. However, I would say that the learnings from the event would be...

01. The location needs to be recced with the photographer before hand to determine the layout and formation.

02. The lighting condition needs to be check. Fill flash cannot reach such a large area and an extremely high contrast picture will suffer from lack of details.

03. A loud hailer will be useful to move things in the right direction.

04. Someone can sell drinks there and raise funds for the club as well as to take care of members.

Can't wait to see the pictures in the magazine!!

Cheers,
