Looking for nice pics of 411/412

Post by tuna »

In case anyone has been wondering, yes I am still working on the site. What I am looking for are a few really nice photos of any Type 4. I'd like to have it of a really nice example of a Type 4, with glossy paint, etc. It's slow going, but I am trying some new things on here that I've been wanting to try out, but just never had the time.

I've got good interior pics, but the exterior of the Nomad is a bit un-glossy :cry: If you want decent interior images, let me know!

I have an awesome collection of factory literature that came in the car....like: The factory tourest map of all of Europe, the end of the assembly line printout, the service books, shipping documents etc....but alas..few actual pictures of the cars. But...i just got a new awesome lens...been looking for it for years. Makes taking larger than lifesize very, very, very close up macro shots of parts....a breeze. So let me know. I do a lot of parts on well lit...super high grade black and white, then push them through a Nikon digital negative scanner. Digital cannot compare.

Uh...I do have a couple of semi-nude snapshots of an old girl friend in my first 411....but I don't think thats what you "need".... :lol: Ray

What I'm looking for is shots to use on the sight so people will recognize the car that we all love. :-)

I've already received one, a head on shot of a 412. I'm going to fire up Paint Shop Pro right now and see what I can do.

Tuna, if the one you got is a green 412 with a sunroof and german plates, then it was me. If you want some more similar ones lemme know. I also highly recommend taking Ray up on his pictures offer :)
