Looking for a Forza Photographer
i am looking for someone who is willing to take some of those high res. in game shots that I can then print out. I want to use them as "Poster" in my racing lounge. The walls are a little bare right now and I'm looking to spruce them up a bit. TBH, I don't know how good these files will be for a full size poster.
What i am looking to do is either send over a replay or a particular car to the photographer and have them take the photos, download them and just send me the file. I will worry about getting it printed. Anyone who is interested can just send me over a PM. Oh, and if anyone has tried this please post up here a better/faster method.That would be great. Thanks guys.
Snappy, I've got a great idea :D
Put a selection of replays on your SF - Then hold a competition for the best shot.. :D

Snappy have u been on Forza.net on the Forzatographers thread? They have some great stuff there and I imagine you can find plenty of great shots and even large photos to dl. Plus I'm sure you can find one of the group there to help u out. Lots of talent there.
Yeah, I don't think I'm good enough to hang on the wall, honestly.
A tree maybe, but not on a wall

Lol jim
Keep it up Jimmee, I'll hang you on a wall...
The problem I'm having is that I can't seem to log into my profile at Forzamotorsport.net. Therefor, I can't download this "Big Shot" photos.
Can u send/share that shot to someone else so they can dl it and send it to u email?
Not those big shots. I don't get why it won't let me log in to FM.net under my xbox live GT. very frustrating. This is why I need someone else to take the shots for me.
Oh I thought u already had taken the shots and could just gift them over and that person could upload then download. Didn't realize the big shots werent able to gift.
No, can't gift 'em. I took one shot yesterday and it doesn't even show up on my photo album. Goes straight to FM.net.
Have you waited a few days before signing in again?was working for me,
what kind of pictures are you looking for?featuring one of your designs?closeup or overall view, single or multiple cars?
I have tried that but it's not working out so far.
i am looking for some "action" shots from some of some of the races I have had with you guys. I would also like a couple of solo shots of some of my cars with race liveries I have done. In order to make posters of them they need to be the "big shots" that get uploaded one at a time to FM.net. Otherwise, the resolution is just too low to print a decent sized poster. I may also take some of the shots with multiple cars and make some "event posters". All this for the man cave. Crazy, eh?
Anyway, I'll get it sorted out.
The NSXR-GT is my fav...
I like those shots. The only thing is.. I'm looking for the "Big Shots" so I can turn them into posters. I don't want to tie you up with this. Looks like you got your hands full already.
Whoever made that livery did a damn nice job on it. :-)
The pics I posted are just to give you an idea of my shooting style.
I have an old big shot bitmap that's a touch over 23 MB. It compressed down to 13 MB so either way it should be easy enough to attach them in an email.
Happy to help if you want it.
Will Flickr take the big shots, I haven't tried it?
Send me a replay and a quick note of what you're looking for,
maybe an small example, and I'll take some shots Snappy!

We don't even need Flickr. I don't think. I just need the file e-mailed to me once its grabbed off of FM.net. Then I can use a local print shop to make the posters for me. Give me a few days to scrounge up the replays and some examples of what I'm looking for. I just got my TH8RS shifter in and working. It's F#%*%++^ Awesome!!! Basherman is the best!
Hey guys. I am still having problems getting on to FM.net
I posted up a replay on my SF of a two car race at Road America that imjimeez and I ran. It's titled "Poster Replay", or something to that effect. Would anyone mind taking a couple of "big shots" and e-mailing the file over to me? That would be awesome. Just send the file over to SnappyDee.2old4Forza@gmail.com.
Also, I need some drivers for a staged race where we run just a few laps close together so I can save that replay and post it. I have very specific cars with very specific liveries in mind. I can just gift the car over to whoever wants to help me out. You guys can keep the cars or send them back. That's up to you. They will be painted and tuned all you'd have to do is drive. Let me know who is interested.
When were u looking to do the staged race, cuz I'd be willing to help. Sent u a test file. Will try to get a couple from replay.
Not sure when to do the staged race. When are you on? I am usually not around on week nights until after 10 pm or later.
Got those pics. Very nice. I'd like to get more of my cars in them but they were very cool.
Didnt think the files would be that large...hmm.
I should be ok to help you with your staged race. Just give me the car, time, and place. After 9pm weeknights is probably the best for me. And about the same on weekends.
Thanks CaptainCooter, I appreciate your help. I'll make some room and send you a FR. Cute baby by the way. Congrats. I've got one on the way in march. My 2nd boy. Can't wait.
Thanks, actually that "cute baby" is now a 2 1/2 year old monster. Haha! Just kidding, he's not bad, only when he wants to be. I just love that pic since it's the first time I got to hold him and it just reminds me how little he once was. Now he is a booger picking, Forza and Mincraft playing toddler. Next thing I know there will be talks of birds and bees, driving lessons, and College tuition payments.
Congrats on your 2nd. When in March are you expecting? My son's Bday is March 19th, thus my racing numbers 319.
@CaptainCooter - Cool! It's supposed to be the 23rd or 24th but since my first son was two weeks early we are expecting that this guy will be as well. I'll let you all know if it's the 19th.
In re: to the photo shoot race - I have a set of cars that I hope to use in an upcoming series. They are a bunch of sports cars from the 60's and 70's.
1970 ZR-1, DB5, Pantera, 365 GTB/4, E-Type, '67 Stingray, Miura and the '73 Porsche 911. All A550 PI. I've got them all painted and ready to go. Who is available this Saturday at about 3:00 pm EST? If you are, just shoot me a PM on XBL. I'd like a variety of cars but it will be fine to have two of the same make. Again, I send you the car and you can do what you like with it. Please just don't modify the paint until after the photo shoot. We will run a couple quick races. One at Maple Valley and one at Sebring. Thanks guys.
Congrats snappy!!!
My second daughter was born on the 21st of March last year :-)
Very nice, Church. I am very excited for this little guy. Here is my first little guy. Last summer at a local amusement park.

Doesn't seeing pictures of your own kids and others just make you feel good about being a parent.
Mine has his arms around my neck hanging on my back yelling "HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY!" while my wife is trying to give me a wedgie. GOD I HATE WEDGIES! So I secretly tucked my underwear further down in my pants to help me get some more words in before I gotta fix them. Anyways gotta put the kid to bed. Snappy just keep me posted when and where you need me.
Oh and Sat at 3 should be ok with me. As long as it doesn't run too long. Porsche Cup series at well soon after 3 Est. Not sure the exact time. But I'm in.
