If so, where can I find some FREE 300dpi photos of nice cars?

I am working on a postcard mail out for a Window Tinting company, and the car photos in my Art Explosion pack suck.

I\'m looking for a shot with great light reflections on dark windows/windshield. Indoor showroom shots are preferred.

Videoholic, maybe you have some Hi-res shots from the show you work for?

Thanks in advance.

No, I don\'t have anything. Outside of a google search I would suggest going to a dealership and taking a pic. They certainly wouldn\'t have a problem with it. I of course would suggest going to a BMW dealership..

yeah, you could get some brochures from a car dealership and then scan them. Thats probably your best bet... That or take some pics man. Does Dave have a Digital camera?

I just want some clean shots. I guess I could scan some brochures, but nothing beats clean original Hi-res TIFF files.

But a dealership wouldn\'t mind at all you going in and taking pictures of one in a showroom. Heck, they are getting their brand of car on a brosure...

Are you sure about that Vid? Would you want someone taking pictures in your business, just to get people to go to another place? Wouldn\'t you want to put your credits on the item?

I think I\'ll stick to royalty free stock photos, if I can find some.

You are doing something for a window tinting company, right?

How many dealerships do window tinting?

If I were a BMW dealership, I\'d much rather have my car on your brosure than a toyota.

^^^^ this man speaketh the truth. just go into any dealership and take photos (i would suggest asking for permission tho).

Well then, maybe I could just email the marketing division at BMW and ask them to send me some Hi-res professional photos of their cars, for use on a small window tinting company\'s postcard.

You could do that as well.

And of course ask for permission first in a dealership.

Don\'t just email BMW though. Email them all because you\'ll be lucky if you get one to respond. BTW, most cars will look like they have window tint already when you shoot them indoors.

Yeah, that\'s why I want the indoor shots.

I can take a digital pic of my car if you want this weekend. I can even do it tomorrow although it needs a bath. I have tint already to boot.

That would be awesome Vid!

Your car does have nice tint and I have total faith in your photography skills, so if you could do that I would be very appreciative.

you can email me the 300dpi jpeg pics at:

juslight@hotmail.com

or I could use an FTP site.
