Hi Nick, Great car and great pics. Looking forward to getting mine done.
You shoul have asked around, someone would have pointed me out. Or you could have just dropped a hamburger on the floor, I'd have caught it before it landed.

Cheers Luke. This is the car I was undecided as to whether or not let you loose on. Im sure Alastair has airbrushed out the stonechips and swirlmarks wink

Might get you down (well, up actually) for next summer.

The SL is still as shiny as they day you left it smile (probably coz it hasnt been out of the garage since paperbag)

I'm interested. I live in Southampton, but could travel. You'd be shooting an early Formula Red NSX in original spec and in good nick aside from a few stone chips.

Can't believe no one has offered a 335d yet?

Anyway, I have a silver Evo 8. Based in North Hampshire.

FUBAR - none of the stone chips showed in the pics and the paint was in pretty good nick generally I thought. What I did have to 'remove' was lots of little rubber marks from your recent track exploits!

Thanks to everyone for all the interest also, unfortunately I've now stopped doing the free shoots as I feel my portfolio is up to scratch. If you're still interested and want to pay there are contact details in a few places on this thread or see my website.

I still cannot believe you ripped off my logo frown

Portfolio is getting better although, I wouldn't pay. You need to work on your lighting and composition more. Keep at it smile

What's the point of coming in here and saying that Dean? Seriously, why put yourself out to have a dig at me? Maybe I wouldn't pay for one of your shots due to reasons I would never be petty enough to list in a thread of yours.

As for the logo, so what, it's a logo. I may not keep it forever, it's different than yours anyway, the font and accenting thereof are different as is the space between the slashes and the word. If you've got some sort of copyright on it send me a solicitors letter yeah.

Because

A) I'm bored
B) You've ripped off my branding, I wouldn't mind if you weren't claiming to be an automotive photograper. Good name though.

Petty? You should be greatfull for critique and taking it on board, not acting like a 15 year old and getting upset about it.

OK, maybe I read your comment wrong and felt it came across as a bit of an attack and I'm sure you didn't mean it as such. It was just the "I wouldn't pay" bit that seemed like an attempt to derail my efforts.

I am grateful for critique but that wasn't really the aim of this particular thread, I was planning a topic in the photography section for that soon enough.

As I'm not out to make enemies either here or in the world of photography I'll work on a new logo in the next week or so.

Why have you gone from Flickr by the way?

No wories MrL. I shouldn't have posted it. I was in a really bad mood, having a difficult time at the mo.

I got fed up of the willy stroking plus, I kept seeing my images spread all over the net in places I wasn't too keen on!

Cheers
