Maybe it's just me, but if I had good quality shots of le mans, I would be tempted not to post them because of your post. It just seems a little rude, not explaining why you need them, are you selling them on, who maintains copyright, or even a thanks in advance!

I need a Lamborghini, can you send them to me.

I am writing a book and need as many pics from Le Mans of the C5R as possible so that I can choose which ones best fit the book, you retain copyright, I give you credit and also a fee per pic used.

Much clearer

Edited to add, there's some Le Mans 2000-2004 shots on flickr. If you are really stuck, this may help!

Could be worthwhile contacting the owner of these?

CRASH & LAT both have a great archive of what you are looking for and can provide you with a competative pricing package.

Alternativly Getty will have stock how ever the above are going to provide a stronger level of quality

Thanks will try and contact them

BTW 4hero all of those pics were taken at Le Mans 2004 by Richard Prince the GM official photographer.....I've been in contact with him about using some of his shots but he wants a lot of money to use them!

Thats the cost of doing business.



Double checked I missed 2004 (other things on) but found some from 2006 and I'm convinced I've got some from 2005 somewhere which I recall included some from the pits..

2006.

Other photographers have quoted me about 25% of the price that this guy wants and he was paid by GM to take the pics in the first place! So to my mind he is being very cheeky.

If he's got the shots you want to use - he determines the price, free market. If you don't want to pay his price, don't use his pics. His loss (and yours depending on how good the shots are)

Well I found my 2005 shots.

Can't believe I've got so many of the Vettes.

Nice looking back through them...

I think the shots required may be between 2000-2004.

I know - but it was interesting looking back through them..

I like the one of Max Papis waiting, also like the ones showing the damaged brake rotor....can't believe the amount of wear they had on the early C6R rotors, one exploded in 2005 at Sebring prior to Le Mans and gave Johnny O'connell a serious wake up call......and probably a change of underwear.
