Hi guys, need some assistance with dealing with the new site. I still am not happy with the current site as of now, and im laying the basic groundwork for the new site. Hopefully i get it right this time.

What i need from you guys is :

When you are free / or you happen to send your car in for servicing :

Could you ask the workshop's i/c and check whether you could take a photo of it's exterior? Try to explain you're from this car forum and would like to do some 'free' advertising for them.

There's no need for interior shots.

Tips for taking photos of exterior shots.

Try to avoid taking photos with flash as they tend to brighten up the picture and not give a realistic / 'warm' photo.

If possible, try to take the entire shop with part of the building that it's housed in.(not just squarely the workshop and nothing esle) So people have a rough idea on where it's situated / and in which building it is located in.

If possible, try to capture more than 1 angle of the workshop. It's great also if you could capture cars in them or something.

It's good if you could describe the shop on what it sells, opening hours, contact persons, website and all points of contact.

This a good angle to take workshops from.
