Re: Magazine Cover
You're very observant. I never noticed the missing rear defroster. It's quite possible that the production version of the drag car doesn't come with a heated window. I know it doesn't come with a heater or radio. This was a prototype, so some of the parts were out of the bin. Dodge may have requested the removal of the heater grid. If you buy one of these race ready bodies, it comes only in white with no drivetrain. But it does include relocated engine mounts, a roll cage that stiffens the chassis considerably, other chassis stiffeners, massive brakes, spartan seats and recalibrated suspension parts. The idea is that it's cheaper to build a Super Stock race car starting with the factory package than it would be if one started with a new car. And the package has been tested, so in terms of weight distribution, handling and braking, it's ready to go.

Re: Magazine Cover
Congress will vote on releasing the second half of the 700 billion bailout fund this week. Obama wants it ready to go when he takes over, and Bush has been cooperative. But even some in Obama's own party may fight him on this. The first half was less successful than it might have been as many institutions that received funds meant to loosen up credit are hanging onto them or using them to repay their own past treasury loans. But I think the situation would have been worse without the bailout. No one can say with certainty, although many claim to know it all.

Re: Magazine Cover
The tarmac cleanup was necessary for the typography. The grille may have been another case of the prototype not being product correct. It may be that the drag package comes with a brightwork grille, whereas the car I shot definitely had a dull gray grille. Trim part selection for package cars like this are sometimes based on what's plentiful and/ or less expensive.

Many manufacturers make available a body in white for those who wish to do the mechanicals themselves. I know Porsche does, either stock, reinforced, or lightened. No running gear at all, no suspension or rolling bits. Very reasonable, if you wish to build a custom wet bar next to your pool. Or if you've rolled your car a dozen times on the interstate and wish to stick your remaining working parts on a fresh body.

Re: Magazine Cover
In the early 70's I was involved with a group of engineers that built a Pinto for Trans AM, IMSA SCCA B sedan racing. We started with a body in white. Eliminates a lot of work discarded pieces. We ran a 1600 cc pushrod, 2.0L SOHC a 2.3L SOHC in various configurations as determined by the ruling bodies. For an independent, we did alright. Held the B sedan track record at a local track, finished several 6 hour enduros, one in 4th place. Never really could compete with the Datsun 510 factory cars - too much HP among other things. I got my regional SCCA license with it. Won overall in a regional race at a local track in the rain. The owner just did a ground up restoration after all these years - he'll probably try to pedal it.

Good stuff Paul. Congratulations. 2009/1/9 Paul Stenquist pnstenqu...@comcast.net: Some of you may recall seeing some of the pics I shot of a Dodge Challenger S/S prototype back in October. One of my shots is on the cover of the April issue of Mopar Action magazine, which will hit the stands in a couple of weeks. (Yeah, the predating of newstand mags is a bit nuts.) The magazine art directors did some nice work on it, particularly bringing out the grille details. They had to go in there and work at pixel level to brighten the grid. Here's the cover: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=8482863 Here's my original rendering: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=8482860size=lg They used the same pic inside on a spread, along with seven other pics I shot that day, including my Photoshopped pan. (I told them how I cheated it, btw.) I'm pleased with the renderings, particularly the cover, which is on nice glossy stock.

Many thanks to all my friends on the PDML who responded with so many nice comments. I've had magazine covers before, but none that were executed as nicely as this by the magazine production staff.

Re: Magazine Cover
Paul, great results, congratulations! I am not sure if it is just an optical illusion, but it seems that when they redrew the grille, they changed it. On the original photo, the openings appear to be square, if not slightly elongated horizontally. On the retouched photo, they are rectangular, being longer vertically then horizontally. It might be the result of the light-shadow (white-black colors) on the retouched photo. If you don't mind, - I am curious, - how did you get your photo published in a journal like this? Were you comissioned in advance, did you have just a prior tentative discussion with the editor, or you submitted it after the fact without any prior arrangement?

Re: Magazine Cover
Hi Igor, Thanks for the kudos. I was assigned to shoot the pics. I worked with the editor of this buff book at /Popular Mechanics/ years ago, and I did a lot of buff book shoots in the seventies and eighties. I also worked on Dodge advertising, so their PR people knew me as well. Getting started? Turning back the clock, I first got involved in magazine photography back in the mid seventies. I started by writing for some of the automotive buff books. When I complained about the rather meager earnings, the editor told me that some of the money had to go to the photographer. I can do that, I told him, not quite knowing what I was getting into. I wasn't a total photography novice, but pretty close. But I set up a darkroom (most of the pics were BW in those days), bought an SLR and two lenses and went to work. I think I had my first cover about four years later, shooting Ektachrome with a TSLR Mamiya C220. The trick to getting involved in magazine journalism lies in finding a subject about which you have considerable knowledge. There are a hundred photographers out there for every writer, so if you can provide copy and pics, you have a big head start on the other 99 photogs. Now I get some work that is strictly photography, but that was a long haul. Most of my magazine assignments are still copy or copy and pics. I'll have to take a look at that grille. I assumed that the magazine art directors went in and lightened the grid one bar at a time, but they might have comped in a grille from another Challenger photo. If the angle was a bit different, the geometry would change. Paul On Jan 9, 2009, at 10:17 AM, Igor Roshchin wrote: Paul, great results, congratulations!

Re: My First Magazine Cover!
Lovely shots, Wendy, and congratulations. I especially liked the cover shot catching the frisbie. I've been trying to get just such a shot of my border collie, who also chases frisbies. But the other members of my family are never around when I am trying this, so I have to throw the frisbie myself, then bring up the camera to track her. But I do have one good shot so far. Joe

Re: Magazine Cover
When I got the Runner's World job, Bill Corbett sent me a detailed email on how to price photo services. I don't think he'd mind if I forwarded you a copy. In fact I think he'd insist! (He's very protective of newbies amongst the sharks of the publishing world.) He recommended a book called "Pricing Photography" bt Michal Heron and David MacTavish, too. Mark Roberts That sounds like a great reference, would you mind forwarding a copy to me as well? Cheers! Brian - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Magazine Cover
It looks like I'm going to shoot a magazine cover next week, if you can believe it. I'm not even sure of the name, but it's basically a military trade mag. Anyway, any advice would be appreciated. From what I understand, I'll be shooting a general in a basic head and shoulders shot, more or less, from the medals up. In the background there's some sort of LCD screen they want me to use. The guy (art director?) said if I had trouble getting the lcd screen, that I could just get a standard shot of him with a plain background, and they could merge a shot of the LCD digitally. I think I can handle that, but any input would be good. I'll be using a 645n, 120/4 and 45-85/4.5. I'm thinking I'll use the AF500FTZ on one side and a reflector on the other, though I guess I could rig a 2nd AF500...guess I'll expose manually for the lcd, then adjust the flash to the general. I'll probably use portra 400nc. He said he didn't need transparencies, and actually would prefer a print... Also, I'm not sure what to charge. I'm leaning towards a 1/2 day rate of $400. Does this sound reasonable? Should I demand it up front? Do I just give them rights to one print? Thanks. tv - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Re: Magazine Cover
Normally, when you are hired for the job, then copyright belongs to whoever hired you. You can use the picture only for self promotion. About how much to charge, I would consider facts such as maganie circulation, exposure and profile. It is not the same to shoot for Time or Good Housekeeping than for a regular highschool newsletter, even though your job is basically the same. If you feel confortable charging $400 (plus material expenses of course) and your client is not gonna be spooked, then do it so. Just watch his eyes when you tell him your fee. If he tries to bargain a lot, then it is most likely they will pay the price. If he outbreaks and falls apart, then he should be looking for a highschool student with a K1000 to do the job. If there is almost or no bargaining, then you have learned that they were ready to pay twice as much or maybe more.

Re: Magazine Cover
Tom, Congrats. I'm still hoping for my first cover (though I suspect my chances would improve if I actually spent a little time trying to get one.) Whether it's a work for hire or not is a strictly a contract issue. It should be spelled out up front, and if they want exclusive use in all media forever, the cost should be higher, taking into account your loss of potential income from future sales. For example, what if the general is suddenly plunged into some scandal or involved in some heroic act? If you no longer have the right to use the image, you lose out. I urge you to examine the document at the following URL: http://www.exactly.net/contract.html for a good basic photographer's contract. Also, the ASMP has a site and a section addressing copyright for photographers: http://www.asmp.org/information/guides/copyrightguide.html should get you there. As to the image itself, I'd be curious about the relationship between the general and the LCD. Get some info on the connection and go from there. One technical note: Watch where the reflector is pointing to keep from blasting the LCD. But you knew that.

It kind of fell in my lap. I'll definitely check out the links. As to the image itself, I'd be curious about the relationship between the general and the LCD. I think it's some technology he developed. Get some info on the connection and go from there. One technical note: Watch where the reflector is pointing to keep from blasting the LCD.

Re: Magazine Cover
If you're not charging at least 100% over "your costs" your giving the image away.

I was thinking I would just charge a flat rate, and not charge for materials specifically. I have found out that the last photog they hired was paid 300 + expenses, and the 'boss' thought that was too much. They actually sent one of their non-photog staff people out with a 35mm to get this general pic, but of course it came out crappy. Now they're coming up on a deadline, and I've got a subject who'll have to sit *again*. Of course, the $300 figure could be misinformation... tv - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
