Classic Car Photo Guidelines

We can put up to 3 pictures on our web site of your vehicle. It is best to send a picture of the right side, left side and the engine or any other special features. We prefer digital pictures (1024x768 or higher please) to be sent to midauction@aol.com and please put your name and bike name in the title.

When taking pictures, please take the following into consideration:

Background - Place your vehicle in a setting free from any other vehicles or clutter. It is best to place your vehicle in front of a plain colored background such as a garage door or a wall. Try not to have anything other than your vehicle in the pictures.

Location - For best results, shoot pictures of your motorcycle OUTDOORS. Natural outdoor lighting is the best and will help to enhance the details and beauty of your vehicle.

Proper Angles - A picture of the both sides of the vehicle is essential. Prospective bidders like to see both sides of a vehicle. It is also very important to show the whole vehicle, PLEASE DO NOT CHOP ANY PART OF THE VEHICLE!

Image Quality - To advertise your vehicle best, we request high-resolution images. Digital images are preferred as they maintain their clarity in all forms of advertising. Pictures should be taken on the highest possible quality setting and use a tripod to aid in taking the clearest picture possible.

If you are submitting 35mm pictures (Digital images preferred) please see if your photo processing lab can put your images on a CD in addition to making prints.

Below are a few examples of acceptable and unacceptable pictures.
