ApexWheels · 08-13-2013, 12:16 PM

Who?
All car and photo enthusiasts welcome!

When?
Saturday, August 31st, 2013 10am - 4pm

Where?
APEX Race Parts
7888 Marathon Drive, Unit A
Livermore, CA 94550

How Much?
Absolutely FREE!

Have you ever seen a 3-wall cyclorama studio in-person? Do you want to experience and learn first-hand what it’s like for a car (possibly even yours!) to be shot under a 30’x10’ light bank?

The APEX Photo Studio (Division of APEX Race Parts) is hosting an open house on Saturday, August 31st, 2013. Come out with your cameras and spend time in our full-sized, well equipped studio shooting spectacular cars. We want you to hang-out, talk shop, meet fellow car and photo enthusiasts, and see what it’s like to shoot a car in a studio. Time permitting, we might even have the chance to throw some of the attendants cars in the studio!

This event will be held at the APEX Race Parts headquarters in Livermore, CA. Conveniently located near the northernmost point of Mines Road and just off of 580, the meet isn’t more than 15 minutes from the 580/680 intersection and less than an hour from the South Bay. We have a huge parking lot and studio. The best part? The meet is completely free to attend! No registration, no charge, no hassle!

We would like people to arrive around 10am and the event will go until about 4pm. We’ll have a casual BBQ going around lunch/ First come, first serve! Stop by and check out some awesome cars, the new APEX Photo Studio, and meet some fellow automotive and photography enthusiasts! The meet is a minute away from the Umigo Indoor Kart Racing track and would make for great time after the meet with your friends!

We hope to see everyone there!

Thank you APEX team for your VIP hospitality and taking the time to shoot one of my cars at your event. I am deeply grateful not just for the experience but also to learn a few pointers from James!

I am going to buy a set of those roller jacks for my garage ~ they are simply awesome for moving the cars around the garage. I had a blast watching you guys move my car around like it was a toy! I wish I videotaped it for my wifey...haha

Again much thanks for a great afternoon and will look you guys up for my next set of rims.

Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: Norcal iTrader: (0)	Thank you APEX team for your VIP hospitality and taking the time to shoot one of my cars at your event. I am deeply grateful not just for the experience but also to learn a few pointers from James! I am going to buy a set of those roller jacks for my garage ~ they are simply awesome for moving the cars around the garage. I had a blast watching you guys move my car around like it was a toy! I wish I videotaped it for my wifey...haha Again much thanks for a great afternoon and will look you guys up for my next set of rims. __________________ 04 GPW/Onyx NSX 08 Rio Yellow s2000 CR 16 F80 Dakar M3 15 Ferrari 458 Spider
