Year.IV Anniversary Meet Coverage…Part 2…


IMG_5722-Edit

Back with Part 2 of The Chronicles’ Year.IV Anniversary Meet coverage. Today we’re going to be taking a look at the bulk of the car coverage. I can’t say I’m really happy with the photos though because the bright sunlight presented some really harsh shadows in the photos which kind of throws some of the photos off. I just shot at the wrong time of day but it was the only free time I had in the afternoon and I wanted to get some of the cars photographed before they left. Ideally it would have been great if everyone had stuck around until the end but I can’t blame any of them because it was a bit hot that day. The pics are “good enough” but I guess what I’m trying to say is that I wish I had done a better job with the coverage to really give you guys who weren’t there a better feel of the event. In the end I was really happy with the turn-out and just happy that people wanted to come out to support the site. There should be one more portion of Year.IV coverage coming before we jump into the SEMA stuff but make sure to check out Part 1 if you haven’t seen it already….
