  • SHOgun spotted (someone did, anyway).

    Just randomly put Festiva on google and this came up posted only one day ago! So someone, somewhere, owns a SHOgun. Who is this guy?

    Got a chance to shoot another car show, and this time armed with my brand new Nikon d7100! This is my first real shoot with it, and man am i impressed! the image quality and noise performance is stunning, a big step up from my old d3100. I wasnt, however, expecting the place to be so packed. The cars were so close together my 35mm was just barely wide enough to get the whole vehicle in the frame!

                Speaking of which; how's about a progress report from long time FFestiva forum member PhoenixSHO, from Montreal, that's creating one.

                  There were a total of 6 of these made correct? I wonder where the other 4 are.

                  Edit:


                  Yellow one in Atlanta. According to the article there were 7. 4 more to find.

                  Edit:


                  Not sure where it is. I don't even know if it's legit. Looks close though. 3 more to go.

                          For those interested, I had this pic as my background, and my OCD kicked in and I couldn't stand the plate and the hatch up. So I took them out and cropped it to 1920x1080.

                          Enjoy.

                          Click for full HD size. Not my best work, but does the job I think.

                              SHOguns were not production cars. Rather aftermarket highly customized versions built from production cars.
