I want your photos!

[Twincam16]

Hi all.

I've written a 3-volume book on Grand Touring cars, set to be published early next year (with any luck). All the copy is written, but I need photos!

Neither I nor the publishing company can afford a load of copyrighted images, but I reckon there's enough amateur photography talent on PH to illustrate most of my books.

So, if you want to see your car pictures in print and have any from the list below, email them to me.

A few important points first -

-Images need to be of acceptable quality and high definition (minimum 300dpi and in a flexible format - tiff, eps or uncompressed jpeg).

-They must be your own images. You don't have to own the car, but you do have to be the one who took the photo or else, if someone else recognises their picture and is legally-minded you and I could end up in the dock.

-All sorts of photos are welcome - exterior, interior, engine, detail - but they must be clearly visible.

-Sorry, you won't be paid copyright royalties. However, if I choose to use your photos you will be rewarded with your work in print and you will be credited along with the caption.

Have you tried approaching any manufacturers for their press release photos?

[Twincam16]

Not yet. I'm going to get as many from PH as possible, then for the ones I can't get hold of, I'll go to more specialised clubs and manufacturers.

TC, although I do not agree on your GT-concept I can mail you 33 recent D70 pics in 3mb jpg file format: rgb 14 mb so about a4 300 dpi cmyk . . . Just autolevel in PS to get rid of the grey - for me standard - Nikon veil will do the trick.

Want some? I can mail one by one when you mail me via my profile . . . copyright [e-mail]

I would appreciate it if you left the plates out . . . and no, I'm not gonna do that for you. Cheers mate.
