I've actually spent the past 3 years studying computer networking.. this past year I've really shown the most interest in photography.. but I dunno. People at work have been encouraging me to pursue photography.. actually a lot in the past week. i've taking pics of stuff for work.. like people, but i dunno. most of my interest is obviously in taking pictures of cars.. just would seem almost impossible to actually get a job doing something of the sort. it drove me crazy last year when I went to the NMRA in bowling green.. i had my camera on order back then, hadn't even got it yet.. and i saw the photographers from 5.0 magazine taking pics.. i was so jealous lol. they were actually up by the tree snapping shots. i'd really like to continue to pursue computer networking for now.. at least so i can get out of my current job because i absolutely hate it, but i need it so im stuck lol. but i think my goal for the next year is to try to get a car that i took pics of feature in a magazine lol.. i dunno how that'll work out.. but relaly i just want to take pics of other peoples cars now

 

haha and thanks.. that 14th shot actually was an experiment that turned out great, it's my fav shot too

 

Christie:

You need to quite work and starting taking photos for a living!

 

lol that would be so awesome, but nobody i know wants to gimme any money lol

 

Uh....see post #27:bash:

 

lol whats your definition of very well?

 

?? Never paid for a photo shoot before. I bet I could get a few friends as well to bring a few cars. Not sure of any nice places, although, before seeing those pics I would not have thought that site was too cool. See, you have an eye for it If you really will be in Jacksonville, fig what it cost you and what you want $ wise, I'll say for three cars. That's my 04, my dad's 68 camaro, and my LT's z06. I'd love to do some of my patrol car running around after my GT.( I know, I know...GAY! I think it's kinda cool). PM me and I'll give you a # to reach me, again IF you are int. And no I'm not joking...my words as good as gold. I'm also not a phsyco...I don't care what my shrink says.
Edit: Just noticed your from KY. FLs a long way. Offer still stands, also I have plenty of room my wifes cool as can be and loves your pics as well. Ever try taking some at a car show of highend cars and selling over Ebay? I get posters of Ferraris and Cobras for my son all the time. $20 a shot. Hell, I have some framed in my office of older Mustangs.

 

Very nice pics!!

 

christie... you really have ALOT of talent... I bet you could land a job for a zine if you mailed them some of your stuff w/ a resume...

 

What are you talking about, no one wants to pay you? Your pictures look better than some I see in magazines to begin with! I'm 100% sure you would have no problem making it in the professional photography world. If we ever have a mustangboards meet, you HAVE to be there.

 

Pics look very good.

 

well, talking to a friend of mine today.. just trying to figure out what prices photographers generally charge.. we compared it to wedding shots. He paid their photographer $3500 for 80-90 pictures. Of course they also get it all in a binder and what not. I honestly have no clue where to start charging. I can tell you though that these pictures are taken in high enough quality to make the full sized posters out of them. I've actually thought about getting a local shop to print one for me and put a border and frame on it.. I know just printing it costs $70. Anyways.. I'll let you know about that. If I were to do it, it would probably be in the winter or beginning of next year, just because of school and what not that I have going on right now, but I'm definately interested in doing it

I'm more interested in getting pics in magazines than actually having to have them pritned up. I dont like that part.. it gets too expensive lol

 

What happened to the A in CELICA on her front plate?

 

those are some great looking pictures

 

what kind of camera do u have csledd?

 

the A in the celica fell off on the trip back from atlanta, so she says lol.

I have a Canon Rebel XT

 

Christie,

You may want to post a few of those shots at access photo forums and get some feedback. It's a pretty cool photographer geek hangout.

As stated many times.. you do have some nice skills. Network jobs are dime a dozen and genterally get no respect. Trust me, it's what I do for a living. lol. Graphic Artists, ie Photoshop, Web Design, Marketing Campains, etc.. make very good money and get treated much better.

 

I'm already registered over at AP.. it is a nice little site, I learned some neat things from there.. but it seems like it takes forever for someone to answer a question or if anybody does at all lol
