ATTN: Need GREAT Pics of Member's Cars and Events

Interested in possibly getting your car's pic in a magazine?

We've been asked by a magazine to locate some good shots of FJ's best Foci and of FJ member events with people and cars.

Here's some ideas of what might make the cut:

1. Action shots
2. Exceptional static shots
3. Event shots, G2Gs FOTB, etc. (calling BUR_ZX3!)
4. Anything out of the ordinary
5. Modified 2008+ Foci
6. Anything you think might be cool

Some criteria:
A. The pics have to be the best of the best and available as fairly hi-res (i.e. no "snap shot" quality stuff) quality files.

B. You must have the right to use the shot. Either you took it or the photographer has given you permission to use it.

Feel free to post any low-res versions of ones that you would like to submit for consideration in this thread. The sooner, the better.

Also, please post any questions you might have.

We can't guarantee anything at this point, but we'll do our best!


Thanks!

Remember guys, we are looking for "magazine quality" shots. I know we have a lot of really good amateur photogs on this site.

And, I should have added... they have to be Focus only. No other makes/models of cars in the shot.

Plus, they HAVE to be available in hi-res. I'll get the exact minimum specs just so we know.

Some old pics from the hay-day. I do NOT believe i took any of these, so just for Reference use only.

Official FOTB Photographer.

Ron, hit him up pronto.

Also talk to Gutted Hatch, belacryf and maybe even SlickShoes (is he still posting????) about getting some Focus Challenge shots from back in the day at high res.


EDIT: talked to greg... he'll email you some FOTB and FC stuff in the next day or two.

Not sure what you're looking for Ron, but I have a bunch from JF2...

And, you know, of course, the pumpkin.

I have a few from up on top of the track looking down at the cars, and some of people too, but I'm sure others will have better shots - there were lots of lenses there. :)

Great pics? I don't know about that, but I've got a small pile of action pics taken mostly by professionals. Links below go to small Picasa collections. Hope you find something worthwhile (high resolution JPEGs are available of all; some are uploaded to Picasa in high res form).

I purchased the images from the two professional photographers (On Sight and Red Mist); I checked with them and they have granted reuse permission with appropriate credit. Sean (McSVT) granted reuse of the first batch above as well, but would definitely want a credit if used.

I can get hires and permission if these may be useful.
