As some of you may know, I take quite a few pics at Track Days & post/sell 'em. Previous experience has shown that people wanting pics from me might have to wait before receiving proofs/pics, basically 'cos I leave home @ 06.30 in the morning, return @ 19.30 & have a small child!

One of our clients came up with this idea & I found out about it. I decided that I would stick up a test film (costs me to do it) to guage reaction & response.

Is this of interest to track day people? & others?

All pictures are available for order on-line, using secure credit card payment. The company, will process the order, develop it & post the picture out to you - that is included in the cost. Only bummer for me is that I have had to increase the price a bit, as its not the person who used to do it & they have to charge VAT (included in cost).

I would welcome any comments that people might have - good or bad. If reaction is good, I will try & get up to Donno & run 7/8 rolls through & go from there (expensive ). Only looking to cover costs, so should be good VFM.

Let me know peeps.

 

I'm sure both Josh and Puff ( Jason ? ) will agree that there is room for both services.

Josh is a professional photographer and does the majority of the work himself. The service he offers differs to the one Puff is offering in as much as Josh can do Floppies / CDs / Prints of various sizes from both Digital Images and Negatives.

Puff is a good amature ( as far as I know )photographer and is using an on line service to make some cash from his hobby / interest.

Differing approaches but if they both satisfy their punters requests then nobody loses.

 

Good Idea.

I was only talking to Josh yesterday about something like this.

Nice quick and easy site - Did not go through the order process though.

 

Jason,

Be careful, have you spoken to Josh about this? As far as i am aware he has been asked to be the official photographer for SIDC events. I would seek his approval or Stefs? before you offer an alternative charged photo service.

This is not meant in anyway to start an argument just thought it may save some friction at a later date that is all.

Aint this a scooby net board, and not SIDC

If someone wants to sell photos to cover costs, then whats the problem.....

who's jason by the way......

 

Good idea !

Have you looked at

 

Dingy,
Sorry i know a different version" who the F..Is alice?" wrong lirics M8 :P

I am just jealous!!, none off me appear on the site, A certain white car appears to be popular though

 

Great idea !

I can see why you picked the escort though as its easier to focus on slower targets !

Regards

Tim

 

DIGGY..only pullin yer leg....thing is my car was old and different.....and there were soooooooo many scoob's

Old skoole rules......

 

I would be happy to buy photos from whoever! If they get pics of me with glowing brake discs even better.

Dan

PS. See you at Dono

 

I'd have thought mine would have been more popular..........Surely it's easier to photograph a milk float than your missile haa haa haa!!!!!!!!!!!

See ya at Donno complete with flashing lights, neon signs and no exhaust....(sorry couldn't help my self!!)that ought to atract some attention!!!!

Mark

 

Sorry Puff didn't mean to hi-jack your thread, i'll get my coat, Byeeee!

Mark

 

Dingy.
I have already discussed this with Puff and the problem isn't necessarily that they are both selling picci's, but that certain circuits (Oulton for one) actually charge a fairly hefty sum to allow us to take any photgrapher who then intends to re-sell pics to the public.
I presume this is a one-off charge regardless of how many people we use, but as long as we know beforehand it shouldn't be a problem. The club will normally pay this charge anyway as we then have full rights to all the picci's, including Puff's now!

Danny.
Photo's like this you mean.....

 

Slightly disagree as to rights to my pics Stef! However, I am always happy for the SIDC to use images I have taken & I would not levy a charge for this. I think you'll find I was not the official club photographer @ Oulton & therefore exempt from the charge etc.

Puff / James (for those that don't know )

 

Puff.
There was a smilie there you know!
Thanks anyway though. Perhaps paying the fee gives you access to areas that otherwise would be inaccessible then, 'cos it must be for something!

Stef.

 

Josh certainly had access to some funny areas and he got his wristband too.

BUT he has done Motorsport Photography on a recognised level e.g. Network Q.

 

Stef

Sorry - missed that one! Should've been a !

Josh had access to areas I wouldn't have been able to get to. Saying that, I am waiting for BHLG media accreditation which will allow me trackside access at all their tracks for the year. Don't pay 'em again

 

Puff,

I've held such passes on and off for years, and I think you'll find that there are restrictions. The most common are FIA controlled events and private events such as track days.

 

sorry about your name Puff, met alot of people on Saturday!

Checked out Fotango & it does look good. If I was going to do it for myself, then I would be interested. I'm hoping to actually <I>sell</I> a few pics, so as to cover some of the costs inherrant in my hobby. Photo-direct is a service for photographers that allows me to add a couple of quid, in order that I might get back some of the outlay. I'm fortunate, in that my main income is not dependant on photography.

Josh

Will shortly find out the restrictions, no doubt Know 'bout SBK/FIA etc.

In the meantime, how are the proofs coming on? Also look forward to seeing you up there with VisualEyes

 

Puff

As a previous "customer" I would be happy to purchase from you m8.

For everyone else, top quality stuff from PTMW !
