I am just a guy with a camera and an eye for beauty, whether they are natural or man made. But it takes time knowing what is a good shot and how to bring out the beauty of your subject matter. As you can see in my collection, which is somewhat eclectic but leaning toward the car shows, seizing the opportunity is important, especially for taking pictures of models. The moments or scenarios are sometimes fleeting, so what I suggest is to take over and above what you think is adequate. Digital film is cheap and reusable, but opportunities may not happen again.
For those who want to add me as a friend or favorite my pictures, please share some of yours as well. I don't want to be uncool and block you, but it's only fair that if I share pix that you do so as well. For those who favorite dozens of my pictures and who share none or leave no comments, prepare to be blocked. Grey blocky icons will also get your blocked.
If you request pictures of mine to be added to your group, make sure that it is not set as a private group. What good is it if you want me to share, but you hide your group to everyone else? I will not correspond with you and you will be blocked without any warning.
Due to violations of my copyright in the past, larger sized images will not be provided for anyone unless I know you. All requests of putting you on the "friend" list will be ignored.

"BEWARE!
If you can't handle enormous numbers of gorgeous, sexy, seductively-portrayed women, exposed perfectly in all lighting situations, and professionally-captured at the peak of their provocative moment of splendor -- than this is NOT the site for you.
The first time I checked out caliber68's photostream, I realized instantly that he's one of a very few that have the talent to capture and encapsulate all that is wonderous about the female form. Simply put, I believe he's set the bar. There are other things in his stream as well, but for me -- it's the girls.
It's a pleasure to recommend his site to true aficionados of babes "the way you like 'em!" Thanks for sharing your wonderful photoset!!

"(Exclusive Featuring Artist in !HOT! Promotional Models: www.flickr.com/gr... )
I've been impressed by Calibre68 pictures since the very first time I saw his pictures. Not only he has crispy sharp, well light balanced, large size pictures, which are rare in this genre in Flickr, the models seem to be lovely, lively, and inviting to viewers. He has that ability to capture the mood and energy of the models, as if they were right in front of you in person.
Definitely check out the sets of "2006 Hot Import Nights (2006) L.A." as well as "Hot Import Nights - Los Angeles" to see how beauty and beast can be combined so deliciously. Truly coined the title "!HOT! Promotional Models"
Calibre68 has graciously accepted my Q&A on some of his tricks and tips to produce such magnificent body of work...
!HOT! PM: You have all the gorgeous models, how do you approach them usually?
Calibre68: I just smile, ask if I can take their picture and that's it. Most of the models are used to having their pictures taken so it isn't much of a problem. A trick that I use at times is to be near the heavy duty professionals when they ask the models to pose. I am not at that caliber and I just take pictures as a hobby.
!HOT! PM: Their poses are so natural; do you or how do you instruct the model to pose?
Calibre68: Most of the posing is by the models themselves. The women who have been in front of the camera for a while know how to position themselves into sexy poses.
!HOT! PM: You have many many great shots, how do you decide when to click the shutter, and what calculation does it go through your mind at the point?
Calibre68: Sometimes it is the luck of the draw. I tend to get some great pictures by accident. What I found out by experience is that it is better to take more photos than less. This is extremely helpful because you never know when that gem of a shot may show up. Also, it is better to have more shots so that you are guaranteed pictures of models that are not blinking and have their eyes closed.
!HOT! PM: Any words of advice for promotional model photographers?
Calibre68: It definitely helps if you have a digital SLR. In my last outing at Hot Import Nights, the models tend to pose for you and look directly into your lens if you got a semi decent rig. I think they notice the flash setups and how it shines its focusing beam that makes them take notice.
Calibre68: Oh one more thing about take pix at events is to always move around the venues. If you stay in one place you are bound to miss something going down at another part of the event. But then again if you "feel" like the vibe is good at one location, just stick around for a little while to see how things unfold.
But most importantly is to constantly snap away for that one shot."19th October, 2006
