Bit of a photography rant here, sorry

That pic of Dino's car is the perfect type to add a bit of blur top and bottom, and arrive at the 'model car' look:

Nice shots man!

Ammo I feel your pain, nowhere is there a greater case of 'the emperor's new clothes' than the art world, it's why I've never given a toss whether the industry like me or not, I'd much rather just deal with appreciative customers and earn a living doing what I enjoy.
That said, like you I get really pissed off with the galleries fawning over an unmade bed or a single layer of bricks, just for publicity. I just think in a way you can't blame the person exploiting the system, blame the idiots that buy it!
Your pics are in a different league, if his are selling for that price, get in on it. At least you would be giving the customer value for money

Seriously Ammo get yourself out there and even charge half what that gimboid charges and give real quality to customers, you will have repeat business and could even get some work for the tracks themselves. There is a lot of bum droppings out there and like you I have deleted better pics than that, I'm firmly a hobbyist though and only use a bridge cam but even my own pics get more vetting than that. You're justified but a victim of your own modesty, charge some money for this and get yourself some good income dude, it's worthwhile and if I could get away with it I'd have a few prints off you to decorate the house, my mrs would NOT approve though

Coincidentally I need to pm you or catch you on FB etc and talk about some stuff, chat soon buddy

Especially if as I think you've said before you're out of pocket with travelling for work etc. Milk it for all you can bud

Id pay for Nitin pics.

Can you do timed pictures over say 3 months and pics taken every 2 mins.
Im just thinking of a 4th Gen, the rain and the elements and the progression it takes as it stands still over 3 months.

Be more entertaining to see the progression of your Type-S over the last 2 years, oh wait there hasn't been any
