Alesi, one of our forum members has come across a professional Belgian photographer who will be at Spa on Saturday.

The question is would you be prepared to pay a professional photographer for high quality images of your cars?

His website is here to give you some idea of his work.

I did last year. See this month on the club calendar.

Do you know the rough cost of a photo?

And would they be photos while we're on track?

The answer is no, and probably respectively.

I am simply trying to find out if it is worth investing more time in this.

Ah right, well i'm a a provisional yes then!

Asked for a price quote on the photo's: 25 pictures will cost approx £20 (dvd P&P included).
During the morning sessions on the Saturday he's occupied in the paddock area for the FIAT group. From thereon he's to be found at the track catching you guys in action.

Thanks Pieter,

Completely forgot about this.

Did anyone use this chaps service?

He was there and took photos, watch this space.

@Insy: you were probably too busy cleaning your car
I know some 100 good quality pics will be delivered to the FCCUK soon.

I'm the photographer who made the pictures of you guys on the track at Spa-Francorchamps.

I'm in the U.K. next Friday for the Classic Corvette Club's National meeting in Huntingdon, near Cambridge. Bob Miller is going to collect it at the hotel.

I have 100 pictures on the disc form all the different Fiat's. It was not always easy to keep in frame at the track. You were racing quit fast and close together.

I have 17 pictures online at my site: www.jonnybens.com, look under events.

some great pics there

Did you pick up the photos yet Bob?

Yes.

We decided that we would copy the DVD and send a copy to all Spa Italia 2010 participants.

That means I will need to copy over 40 DVDs, Print covers for each and then Post them out

Unfortunately this is going to take me some time

The images are generally 4288 x 2848 with a 300 DPI resolution.

Some Shrunk samples


I have spoken to a reprographics company who could print these off onto Poster size (About £8) or even print onto canvas stretched arround a wood frame (About £35)

Good effort Bob! Can't wait to see them, thans in advance for the hard work

Yea, well done Bob, thanks for sorting this. Hopefully there will be a decent shot of my coop in there!

Juergen happy brithday mate

Looks like me there in the car with sparco

As you see bob I was in there all the time

Lum

I'm very interested in this DVD and ready to pay the price for this souvenir !

keep us in touch !

Any news on these shots?

Guys,

I really have been too busy with personal stuff to progress with this

I will pass the DVD on to someone who can sort it, I was supposed to hand it over at Pagent of power

Bob

no problems hope you get sorted soon bob.i dont mind helping out if needed?happy to help

Is there a possibility that we can just put the production of the DVD's to a professional outfit? I dont mind chipping in a few quid to get it done.

Takes the onus off one person to put in all those hours. Saying that, I've no idea what it would cost.

Ive got the discs and happy to copy them?Do people need covers?

Even though I wasn't a track participant, I was still there and would also love a copy of the disc please

Happy to pay for it as well.

I would be happy enough without a cover too

Covers not really needed, afterall its the content of DVD we're interested in

same here, just the dvd and the disc coupedummy owes me

Cover not needed

No cover needed and would pay if need be!

I now have the CD from Bob and will be copying it and sending it out to all participants over the next few days.
