Hello

I have just moved into a new place and im looking to "funk it up a bit".

I live in an apartment overlooking the whole city and thought it would be great if I could get someone to come and take a really good nighttime city picture from my balcony and I could get it mounted onto a canvas with a company like this http://www.yourimage2canvas.co.uk/ (I would go for the 60" x 22")

I would be willing to pay/crate of beer in exchange for someone poping around and taking a few pics.

Looking for something like this:

Anyone fancy helping out?

P.s I'm in Cardiff bay

Thanks all

I have a mate who is a wedding photographer so I'll send him an email and see if he's in the area anytime soon. He'd probably want paying though. How much would you go up to?

Off topic, but I think we are in the same offices. I could swear I've seen your car with the lamborghini drink stickers on it up Cardiff Gate?

Cheers buddy, I'd like to keep it as cheap as possible but if he is very good I'd say about £40? I only want one decent picture and I will only need him for 5 min.

And yes, I do work in Cardiff gate, infact I'm at my desk now, you work for hbos then? What car you got in the carpark?

Parking up Cardiff Gate is a real pig. I've had to resort to buying a parking space.

This is the guy: http://www.leedarephotography.co.uk/. I just spoke to him and he said no problem. Either give him a call tomorrow or PM me your phone number and he'll be in touch.

I can't get either of your links to work for me, but I'd be quite happy to come over one mutually agreeable evening and take some shots for you in exchange for Stella.

Here's my flickr page

(If the link doesn't work then just search the peopl on there for gumstabber, there's only one of me)

and here's some I took in Rome and at the nurburgring
