Re: GT40 Logo Photograph

Al,

trying to stay on topic, that one has a lot of reflections, I agree. It could "work" but if we could get a better starting place we'd be better off don't you think?

I *know* some fellows have Gulf cars on the forum. I wonder if we could get one of them to do a shot for us the way we need?

This one would be about perfect and doesn't seem to have a lot of reflections:

Does anyone know who owns it, the photo that is?

Re: GT40 Logo Photograph

Hi Ron,

I agree, if we can get a full rez, out in the open outdoor shot at an angle close to what we currently have from Simon, that would be great.

Dang, Simon's avatar would be about right on too. Simon, do you have windows in the car? We'd need those.

You can use the image of my painting if that works for you.

Ron, yes I can put the windows in. I will take some more pictures tomorrow of the angle you want and send them your way.

Re: GT40 Logo Photograph

I have a bunch of photos of original GT40s taken at last years Le Mans Classic. If anyone would like copies email me and I will email them out.

Cheers,

Brian.

Brian,
I tried to e-mail but it says that you don't accept e-mails.
Can you send them to rfmccall@comcast.net ???
Thanks

Sorry for the spam.

This could work very very well, thanks much!

Al, ideas on angle and lighting? Overcast? I think I'd prefer a lower perspective than what we have on the site right now, maybe sort of like what Simon has there but a little more from the front.

And the rotating picture idea that someone brought up is excellent. We WILL do this, but right now let us get one photo up and in place. I would love to have the logo car cycle through various cars automatically and that isn't that hard to do.

Ron

Hi Ron,

Outdoors, sun to the camera's back, no large objects near by, parked on a neutral colored (concrete) parking lot or street.

Re: GT40 Logo Photograph

Ron, I took this pic this morning--forgot the window.
Let me know if this is what you are looking for. I would be more than happy to take some more.


Best,


Simon

Re: GT40 Logo Photograph

We'd love for a manufacturer to submit a Gulf GT40 for the logo. So far not one has, but I would think it'd be worth something to have your car used for the logo. Hint hint - let's see some Gulf GT40s people!
