Jaydog! 179 Posted September 8, 2015 Hey! For the past two years ive travelled most of England doing transport photography, It's normally trucks that i photo, I've had photos featured in truck magazines and shared by manufactures Facebook pages. I uplaod a few photos to a facebook page (ask for the link if you wish but i dont think its fair for me to advertise it lol). I Had a facebook page with nearly 5000 likes on it, but i had to restart due to a copy right claim! I am fully aware this is a somewhat werid hobby, but in the two years ive done it for i've met thousands of people, been noticed for my camera work and even been asked if i'd like to work for a magazine. Witch i had to turn down as i work for my dad and earn quite good money. Next year i have been offered to Do the official photography for a show in the south west, Witch will earn me a few pennies :mrgreen: Here is a selection of my photos i've take with a small description. Daltons Transport - Ghostbuster themed truck. This truck has over £100,000 worth of extra's added to it, including a custom air brushed paint job. When i took this photo in Portsmouth there was over 200 people watching me. I local pub was going crazy as everyone that was inside eating and drinking left to come see the truck!

Full link - http://i61.tinypic.com/v4wb5u.png Warwickshire Charity Convoy. This photo means alot to me, A small group of people organised a charity convoy over 9 miles to go towards the wounded heros project, it meant that through a hobby i was able to give something back. I spent a whole weekend on this event, i did not earn anything form it, and donated alot of photos to the charity. On the full imamge (Linked) you can see trucks for as far as my camera can see, something quite rare to be fair. Full link - http://i62.tinypic.com/2ik8g7t.png Quote Share this post Link to post
Wist 376 Posted September 8, 2015 I fully expected to be sarcastic about this, but I'm actually pretty impressed, simply as this does actually seem to be something fairly unique. Pretty nice. Quote Share this post Link to post

Jaydog! 179 Posted September 8, 2015 Hello friend: :glad2:Question: Are you a Volvo or a Scania fan? Mercedes fan, Long story short i think its the best all round truck. Quote Share this post Link to post
Gunstar 513 Posted September 10, 2015 That's actually very interesting, personally I have no interest for trucks but seeing someone so passionate about them like you is actually motivating. Good Luck with your work. Quote Share this post Link to post
