DUBCENTER’2008

COLORADO CONQUERS THE CORN

story and photography Aaron Crooks

July was an exciting month for Euro enthusiasts from all over the country as the first year of Dub Center brought them all together for a great event in the middle of the corn fields.

Arranged by Mike Krause and his friends, Dub Center was established as a no-coast show for the masses. Despite mother nature throwing her worst at Middle America, the number of vehicles in attendance was more than impressive especially for a first year running. Members of Union 1609 arrived in force with 10 cars and 15 members, showing their neighbors to the east just what it means to be a true fanatic.

The club met in Wiggins, CO at 9:00 on Friday morning where we filled up on petrol and shared a few quick stories about the morning. Erik Melander, driver and coordinator, then proceeded to give the walkie-talkie talk and reminded the drivers of our responsibility as we represent the entire state and euro community.

As we all understood the meeting and there were no further questions, it was roll-out time. The group diminished quickly as the drivers anxiously returned to their vehicles.

We started to head for the highway, and one by one the caravan of euros was on its way. It was a rough start as many of the excited drivers hit the throttle and quickly lost the group. We did eventually find each other several miles down the road. The morning air was fresh and reviving as we cruised and kept the spirit of the group up.

We reached eastern Colorado, also known as Nebraska's armpit,

and we slowly became drained by the highway and the rising heat of the day.

The straight, constant road had lost its appeal and we soon began exploring our other hobbies while driving. With two cars side by side both drivers were ready to out do the other. They both knew the timing and when the countdown was done, cameras came out blazing. Canon vs. Nikon vs. the other guy. We all started taking drive by shots and collectively took 1000s of shots. As this new game became more organized it moved to more of a taking turns taking shots. The leader of the caravan would pull to the left lane and his passenger would take shots as the rest of the club passed on the right.

We also coordinated fuzz alerts; when one driver spotted a state patrol, he would radio a warning and we would all take caution.

Even though we stayed at the speed limit for most of the drive, it was a great precaution to take, ensuring that none of us would leave Nebraska with a bad taste of fuzz in our mouth. Some of the members had also taken on the responsibility of researching radar checks and speed traps in the state of Nebraska. One in particular was a bridge in the middle of a cornfield that the state patrol used frequently in their speed check operations. Josh gave us a heads up and we made sure that all of us stayed at the speed limit as we passed by.

We soon reached Lincoln and hit rush hour traffic. The caravan slowly made it's way through the city. After some hoopla including several u-turns and somehow losing and finding other members of our club we reached our hotel. After quickly settling in to our rooms

[6]

we grabbed several cars and found a Chilis to eat at. On our way back we found another euro. We thought it must have been there for the show as it was from Idaho. We looked and walked around and some just stood in awe. This VW GTI was completely tricked out in blue and white wave style stripes, with matching tint. The body kits were one of a kind and custom installed to create a seasick feeling. We managed to get a few shots of the monstrosity before we retreated to tell the rest of the group about what we just saw.

After a considerable amount of ruckus about this hideous dub, we began our adventure of un-taping all of the cars.

Some cars came with more than others and some cars had already started to unwrap due to the wind on the drive.

Before we knew it, there were ten beautiful euros all standing at attention side by side.

We stayed up late into the night and kept the cars company in the parking lot as we c h a t t e re d a b o u t f u t u re p l a n s a n d modifications for our cars. The discussion would occasionally shift to photography or something else but would always return to euros.

The next day we woke up and detailed our cars. The group split up and some went to a car wash and the others when to a detail shop where we cleaned and buffed o u r v e hicl es. The cl ub sha red i t s knowledge as we detailed every square inch of every car. As we finished the cars, we realized the beauty of the sunset and drove to the location of the car show for a

fast photo shoot. The cars would be arranged and would be rearranged by the photographers for different shots. As the sun hid behind the mountain-less western horizon we retreated to the hotel where we spent another long night sharing stories in the parking lot.

The next morning was the show and we awoke knocks on the door with warnings of a thunderstorm bearing hail. Many drivers frantically got dressed and drove their vehicles to the nearest car wash where they found refuge in the wash.

Thankfully, the storm only brought a douse of rain and passed quickly. We soon returned to the hotel and got ready for the show. We drove to the park and took rolling shots on the way. Once at the park we helped getting everything set up and relaxed under our club tents until the competition arrived. We spent a beautiful day in the park looking at many generations of euros. Marty offered to grill for lunch and we all enjoyed the mix of BBQ and euros. The show picked up quickly and the judges began making their rounds. Of the 10 cars in attendance, the Union were awarded 11 trophies including best interior and many first and second places in their respective classes. That night the club celebrated our victory and again relaxed in the parking lot waiting for the next day to bring us back to Colorado.

The drive back was much faster and with trophies on the dash as we all enjoyed a straight thoughtless drive back to colorful Colorado.

When I started looking for a car two years ago, some of the first cars I looked at were Audis.

I looked at all of the models in my price range, 80 series, 90 series, camera, or at least a camera that has a shutter priority mode. Turn your 100 series, etc. All of these cars looked about the same to me until I saw camera on to shutter priority. It should automatically compensate for your one photo.

Exposure – This is the most important part of making a motion photograph. I am writing this article assuming that you have a DSLR

[10]

Every image you take has an exposure; this exposure is determined by your aperture and shutter speed. These factors determine how much light is let into your sensor. The shutter speed is how long the shutter in your camera stays open. This amount of time is describes as a stop. One stop is half or twice as much light as the previous. To give you an idea of what a stop is, these are the shutter speed stops under 1 second: ½ second, ¼, 1/15, 1/32, 1/64, 1/125, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000, etc Obviously 1/2 second will give you a longer exposure and more blur than 1/500.

Reducing your shutter speed will result in more blur. For example: to reduce your exposure by one stop, you would go from 1/32 1/15nd moving downward if you don’t get enough blur.
