Down at my garage you'll find all kinds of Porsche being worked on.

Taken on my big black camera.

It probably is a good ad for Precision, but I'm hoping it's a better ad for me and that some car dealer, garage or magazine will hire me to do some photography.

Best of luck with it. Great pics. Is that your polar 993 in some of them?

Pics should be okay now. Must be the host's server or something. Thanks for nice words.

Yes, I think I may have. Do you mean around the outside? I had a look today and it's either that or a pattern about 10mm wide?

Thanks cmoose.

I too get fed up of people inferring I'm getting back-handers or discounts from whatever service, car or company happens to be in my pictures.

Having said that, cash in a brown envelope, a free geo, some free petrol, a free OPC Warranty would be nice but it hasn't happened in 10 years so I'm not going to hold my breath.



Enjoy the pics, and don't forget...

Good luck.

I find it incredible how some dealers use such bloody awful photos when they are selling expensive cars! I guess it all comes down to their margins....probably not a lot of room to pay out for decent photos unless you're talking seriously expensive cars.

Please, I wasn't pointing the finger at you. Your smiley stopped that.

I was talking about other people in general on other forums. This one has always been fine. Please don't take offence.

Thanks.
I'd say 98% of dealers don't value photography.
And if they do, they think that they are more than capable of doing it themselves.

I've approached many dealerships and dealers offering photographic and video services for free and no-one has ever been interested.

I've been running a photo and video business for 15 years so I'm not someone who's just bought a camera.
