Very nice shots andy - got to love new toys

Got a question about models - when you guys sorted the trash the dress shoots how did you find willing models. I've got some photography ideas I want to try but no idea where to find a model/subject for it. Any ideas?

ModelMayhem. I put a casting call on there with a link to my Flickr page and got about 10 who said they were interested. They tend to be unreliable though and a bit variable. Some of them are serious and some are just girls who want some nice pics to show people...

I was surprised that three girls actually turned up. We had 5 at the beginning of the week. One contacted me to say she couldn't make it but she still wants to do a shoot, and the other one just "disappeared". I've heard of people booking seven models and ending up with just one turning up! There are always request from models wanting photographers as well.

You have to submit some photos when you register and then they supposedly vet you..

The girl who couldn't make the TTD shoot is an actress with a local group. Would it be worth contacting her?

think ill leave my tripod at home for tonight, no point in doing long exposures full of grey cloud

i have mine with me..

I've got my monopod.. I think long exposures might be limited but it will mostly be street lights anyway

Afternoon all,

Has anyone ever photographed at the WRC Wales/GB Rally before? Hoping to go this year as its just shortly after my birthday and always fancied it! If so, anyone got any hints/tips of where to photograph from? Bit hard to understand having never attended one before!
