It's funny thing but we all do it. Some how we see the picture in our head, so we don't bother to capture it on camera, or we hope the camera will somehow realise the brilliant shot in our minds all on its own.

Look in any car pic book and the vast majority of professional shots are shot from no higher than the headlight, some even lower, and that's the only way you can show the car's best points.

Yet if you look in the coops for sale section or on pistonheads, well over 75% are snapshots from standing position that show bugger all except how nice the bonnet and roof are.

I love that array of bloo coops. Pity you couldn't get the non-bloo peeps to move their cars!

Maybe you can find some nice photos on my site?

I'll email a few to you as well, maybe easier for you...
Cheers!

Did you get those Chrono LE pics (including the one with red slashes ) I sent you over yousendit.com a week or so ago Mark?

Lots of pics of my 16vt in here! Hope some of these get into the book

Oh and I can re-supply any of them at 300dpi if you choose

Mark, have you thought how you're going to manage the 16v/16v Turbo/20v/20v Turbo/LE/Plus/ink black/moon grey/sprint bloo/broom yellow/etc/etc ratio? and still get all the pics looking good.

Don't envy you one bit

Hi Baz - i think one of my filters ate that email and churned it out a few days ago, but the link expired. Could you re-send them via yousendit (gave my filters a stern talking to!). Sorry to be a pain!

Didcoop, dave, darmtb, barnacle - many thanks.

Freak - considering options for this, but may well break it down into each colour, then special eds, then seperatley detail engine variations. Tho thats just one option!

I think i have well over 500 photos now, should be fun!

If you want any more sprintys you can use this. http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh246/Duffman20vt/carz011.jpg

p.s I wont be offended if you dont use it or think its pants im no photographer.

By 'Dave' do you mean me?

I do indeed mean you dave! couldnt be arsed to right fishy before it

LOL, ok, cheers.

@ Mark0904: Have you received the pics I've taken at the Turin event in 2004?
(famous 10th anniversary)

Mark

Crono piccies will be with you this weekend.

Are these nice enough?

Outside Lincoln Cathedral, but only camphone pics. Maybe good to stuff in a corner or as part of a collage?

Oh and a chromey console: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/welformed/Picture_0083.jpg

Sadly I've not had the time to take some decent quality pics.

Alesi - all recieved, many thanks.

evo - good news, will look forward to seeing pictures...........of my ideal coupe.......that i dont have.......

Welformed - camphone pics will be a bit small to use in the main book i'm afraid, but i may well be able to use them in the montage/collage i'm doing for the last few pages.

Did you get the ones I sent a couple of weeks ago Mark?

I did indeed, many thanks

I'm very much looking forward to the final result, how we will go about getting one of these?

put your name down in the GB

Just done it...my bad lol!

Mark, I've just realised what you're doing here. In one fell swoop you've invented a perfect excuse for yourself to spend as much time as you can looking at pictures of coupes. When the rest of us do this it's called skiving off from work.

Very, very clever

(Looking forward to the end result)

Mark I tried emailing you some photos a few days ago but just realised the pics were uber-high quality and the files were massive so it was rejected at your end... I'll re-size them and send them over to you this weekend. Cheers.

Boosted - Could try using yousendit.com for mahoosive files?!?

Pilgrim - shhhhhh, dont give the game away! I'm also my own boss so dont have anyone to justify skiving to!
