Steve C Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Photoshoot with Practical Classics went ahead as planned today at Peterborough Arena. Weather was dry and sunny. They started shooting at 10:30am with a few staturary shots of the engine, interior, wheels and parts of the bodywork. All shots were done outdoors. There was a team of three involved in the whole procedure. The exciting part was the "moving shots" where I followed their estate car with the photographer guiding me to either come closer or move back, a bit like shooting a action movie. We did a few laps of this. I was talking to the owner of a Ford Escort Mexico 1972 which was being photographed for the front cover........I did try and persuade them to put mine on instead.........but they didn't accept my bribe The staff of Practical Classics said that their jobs weren'nt particularly well paid, but you'd have to have a passion for cars to enjoy the job. The article will appear in the May edition which will be on sale mid April. They will send me a complimentary issue plus a CD of my photos. The car I had to chase Practical Classic team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insanity-74 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 That's brilliant, Practical Classics is a good magazine. Full of useful tips and nice cars......looks like it just got better for one month anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianGT Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Awesome! Well done mate! Looks like it was a great day for pics! I've been buying that magazine for a while and it's about time we had something different from a MGB/Triumph......which is particularly irritating because you can get ALL the parts for those! I spoke with Neil Campbell before Xmas and they are talking about doing a restoration piece on my Gen1 so I hope that comes off too! They seem a decent set of guys and they all seem to have a great sense of humour too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianGT Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Got the mag today and it's a nice read. Could have been a bit more in depth but as it's a "guide" to the Celica there was enough information to whet the appetite! Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
