Sure thing, done

Cars and photographs look great! If you're ever down in the Dundee/Arbroath area then please get in touch and I'd be happy to bring along my M3 for you to take some photos of.

Cheers Grant - that's not too far away, my folks are in Montrose so I get down that way every so often. Pop me a PM and we'll work something out

Did a shoot with PaulD86 and his lovely green Cayman R last week. Bloody freezing but good fun, here's a link to the set:

Also popped along to the RDSF Cars and Coffee meet on Sunday past and took a few shots, here's the set from that:

If anyone here was at the meet and I've got a shot of your car you'd like then let me know and I'll get you a copy.

I’m just 6 miles out of Montrose and have a coupe of photogenic cars. That sounds good

OK, pop me a PM and we'll see what we can sort out.

Anyone thinking of sending Niall a PM, he's a great guy and as you can see from the links above, takes a good photo. Was great meeting him and despite it being about -4, it was a fun evening.

[8bit]

Thanks Paul Good to meet you too, enjoyed shooting the Cayman, will catch up with you again in the future hopefully.

Big thanks to everyone who's given up their time so far and also to those who have gotten in touch and I've yet to do shots for. I'm working my way through the list, several folk had their cars off the road for winter and are due back about now, also I was on holiday recently so if you've not heard from me for a bit I'll be in touch soon.

Last couple of sets I've done are on my Flickr now, this is Boyner's stunning GT3:

Ha, small world, Graham with the Impreza is a friend of mine.

Pictures looking good as always.

Small world indeed, I met him a few years back when he had his Leon Cupra R, I had one too. Doing a shoot soon for someone with a newly-turbo'd Honda Civic I think you're probably familiar with too...

Not seen you on here in a while, what are you driving these days? I think it was you with the loudest MX-5 I've ever seen/heard the last time we met (Wallace RR day years ago)...

Mr Taylor is it? Not seen him in a long time.

Got the 200SX still, a Rover 75 (I'm still unsure why), neither of which are on the go at the moment. Mainly running around in my work car DS3 or my girlfriends cars!

That MX5 was horrendously loud, oh to be young again. That would've been 2012 I had it, it met it's end thanks to an incompetent Nissan employee!

[8bit]

That's the fella, we work at the same place.

Shame about the MX5, from what I remember it was nice!

Thank you to Niall for his fine camera work and more importantly editing skills to remove / hide me as much as possible when I was in shot.
I look forward to getting at least one up on the wall

Thanks

[mazdajason]

He's been a busy man hasn't he! Looking forward to seeing my set back too

[SimboRS]

Cracking photos mate, looks like you’ve got he cars into some picturesque locations aswell.
Iv been trying to take some photos aswell, trying to work out all the settings is daunting!, haha

[8bit]

Cheers Simbo! Yeah takes some getting used to!

Fallen behind with this thread a bit lately but thought I'd pop links up to a few things I've been up to. Managed to catch up with Alec.e who I know through Jaguar forums as well as here at a forum meet recently to shoot his immaculate XJ (pics all click-through to the full set):

Caught up with boyner again and another chap (not sure if Dave is a PHer?) with their Mk1 Golfs, and got eaten alive by horseflies...

Managed to meet offshorematt2 again to shoot his awesome Fiat 500 with a few twists!

Absolutely no trouble at all, Niall. Said it before, but an evening standing round in the sunshine without the kids, chatting about cars is a treat these days. Just a shame I’ve run out of cars

Was great meeting up with you Niall and I'm absolutely delighted with the photos you took. Thank you for all the effort you put in, very much appreciated.

As I was saying, I now have a decision to make
I'll let you know if it goes or not.
