Cover shot of the '69 Plymouth Road Runner 440

Looks pretty good. Some of the pages that have many small pics are difficult to make out at this size and look pretty busy, but I'm sure they look better full size. What are you going to do with this book when you're done? If you're going to sell it, you may need to change the title, I saw a Jaguar leaper in there! Detroit never made one of those

Looks awesome! Congrats!

I'm sure its alot of work, but most of your shots are simply stunning so it'll be well worth it

okay i take that back, ALL of your shots are simply stunning

Here's a shot of the "Detail" page.

I even included a shot of an Anglia, built by Ford in the UK! But it's probably more Detroit Iron than what Marie might take to the market? "Mighty Anglia!" '48 Anglia 540

1st pro secret: never show your really crappy shots to anyone? I get my share.
The cars do all the work. Just find the right light, & they'll make anyone look good.

I think I've reached a final layout. Considering that I just changed it (again) a few minutes ago, that statement may only be operable for the next few hours!

The pic is 900px wide, so just a link to it:

Frank,

It looks great, and I think it's a really good idea for a book.

Well done!!

Greg

Thanks Marie & Greg. Now it's the long wait for the UPS truck!

Got it & it looks GREAT except for one small color balance issue & a typo. I showed it to 4 people & already have 3 orders for it! There's a link to the final layout in post #15.

Congratulations, thats great news Frank

Most of these guys think the right price for a pic is "free"?
I'm still tweaking the 3rd proof copy. When can we expect to see a book from you, Marie?

It is very busy.

(speaking silently) well, i might have one question: HOW THE HECK DO YOU REMOVE THE FU***** BACKGROUND !

lol, sorry. I use paint shop pro and nothing works usually, or it takes like 5 hours

Got me? But in PS, you should be able to do the first one in 30 min, & less after that. Clean up of the windows takes longer.

that aside .........
I lost the plot
well not the plot. I have the plot
its the time and energy and getting it down
more difficult then it seems when in the head

you'll like this..the TV station over here want a picture which they had shown on their weather forecast news a while ago...to be included in a book they decided and hope to publish before Christmas. they got in touch asking me for permission
at the time the photo was shown on TV there was no mention of a book, so it was a surprise
