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

erm, me, obviously :D

Sounds good to me, although my cheapo digital camera wont be much use for the photos! :D

So I take it that the SSC can't attend then...........:cry:

Si.

Count me in Dai.

after discussing this with supertouring the other day, I'd have to say NO skoosh, as it's going to be a SMACS only event for now. We'll get Martin to take some good pictures when you come over in March :)

See you soon m8, and don't forget to get your name down for the Peak Tour in April.

chris.

Somewhere I can get airborne...

I am up for that!!

Chris who is "Martin" you dont meen Warren again do you??

Just because you have a good camera does not mean thatyou can take good piccies eh Chris!

Sorry just thinking of the first piccies of my new car!! LOL

ill join in on this :)

Sound great, im in but as per usual so long im not rosta'd for that day - will know nearer the time if i am.

Yes andy, I mean martin :D

I've got a digital camera andy, not a bloody nightsight infrared one :D

No date has been set yet, looking sometime in the summer methinks, so we'll give you plenty of warning martin :)

:thumb: Yep up for this

Oh aye:thumb:

Do you have any photographer volunteers yet!!


Cheers Warren

Im pretty sure Chris "David Bailey" Wilko has already put his name down on the VIP press pass. :)

Dai just checked the first post on your thread again. If need be I will be happy to use my equipment/lighting on the day to try and get some cracking shots.
Have you any thoughts on locations yet!!

Cheers Warren

Who is this Martin fella or is it a secret?

I thought warren would of been 1st choice or did you really get his name wrong chris??? he he ;)

I am looking forward to seeing his pics from the RR day at prosport I just hope we can all fit in the car park

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 :D

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:D)

Can we make use of Prosport washing facilities for cleaning purposes?

If anyone would like some tips/ help with how to make best gloss/shine etc,
Dont forget to get in touch with me!
I dont charge for advice...
