A friend of mine has posted this on a photography forum and has asked to spread the word so...



Folks,

This may be a little weird, but can you all do me a massive favour?

At 14:00 (GMT) on Saturday (24th) take a photo of something you can see.. where ever you are..

That'll be when I'm getting married, and I'd like some photo's from all over the place at the same time..

Don't mind what the subject matter is...

Cheers..

I think it's a great idea.

Please send images to photo at 587racing.com

Thanks,

Martin.

Going to shoot a wedding that day, and at 3 PM my time (GMT +1) I should be busy shooting my bride and groom, so you might be lucky to see a shot at that hour.

Congrats and good luck tomorrow!

What time is that in Los Angeles. If it is when I think it is, (8:00 am) all you will get from me is the parking lot at the hospital that I work at.

PS, I have a pal who did something similar with his wedding 10 years ago. Him and his bride are both journalists, so he asked people all over the world to send the local newspaper of his wedding day.

That's 6 a.m. in L.A. - I guess I'll have to take a picture of my alarm clock, because I'll just be getting up to go to the 10:00 am wedding I have.

expect your in box to be full tomorrow.

Any preference on size/ quality/ Jpg/tiff/raw?

This will catch on

OK. I was 20 minutes late. Hopefully that timed it with the actual vows, rather than with the word: MAWWAGE!

PS, just my side table, candles, coffee cups and a framed shot of my fiancé horse riding.

Alright! I'm really in the deep water here now, had 101.6°F last night and "only" 100.4°F this morning - so I'm not sure my focus was on all day. I hope you have a better day than me (I just got home 7.20 PM).

Just for the record: I suck when I'm sick... my mind was in a haze all day!

Anyway, here's the image that's the one closest to the set time wished for (i.e. in Sweden we're 1 hour ahead of GMT, so this was taken 3.00.01 PM (or 15:00:01 in military time).

I thought this was good fun so I made a bit of an effort, I just noticed that your from England? Is your mate?
Do you like rugby? As you know Ireland were playing England in Dublin on saturday(wont mention the result), I was at the game actually I was playing but not rugby I was playing the anthems in the band on pitch and while the time was well after 2pm I thought these pics are gonna by different from any other ones you recieve, also I took a pic at home with the family to wish your friend lots of luck(my 5 year old made the sign)
