SMACS Photo Opportunity Day
CW and myself want to hold a the first official SMACS Photo Opportunity day to allow SMACS member to get some quality photos of their cars, either individually or as a group.
The idea is that members will end up with a photo(s) of their pride&joy that they can keep and cherish.
This will be held sometime in the sunny summer months at a local Cheshire location and will include some moving as well as stationary shots. Members can bring their own camera if they want, but we hope that those with quality photography kit will be willing to take shots of others as required.
We want to guage interest so that we can plan the amount of time etc that this will take. This will be strictly regular members only so that each car gets plenty of shots on the day.
We would also be interested in any type of photo you would like. I will post some up of what I had in mind.
Thanks
Dai

Yes, CW came up with a very good idea for a location but if you know of any then please let me know by PM or email. Want to keep this off scoobynet.
Note that I was not thinking that this would be something we would be charging anyone for, but if anyone has any overheads or are able to produce high quality prints (for example) then I am sure everyone would be willing to contribute to cover those cost as required.
I am keen to make sure that not every event is a charity event.

Warren, my apologies, I seem to have it stuck in my head at the moment that you are in fact called martin! Of course, when I refer to martin the photographer, I do in fact mean yourself, Warren, sorry for the confusion, not least my own
As super says, I've suggested a good location for this, but there's no rush atm, and it might be prudent to even do a dry run one day, to check the location and suitability.
See you all saturday, make sure your cars are nice and clean (andy)
