Yes that is sublime. Did you use a fill flash or all done in post? Or multi exposure? Lovely. And what's the location?

Fabulous shot and lighting. It is often said that great car photographers are also great landscape shooters

A few more pics from the classic and sports car pub meet held a few weeks ago at the Griffins Head pub in Papplewick, Nottinghamshire.















For info, the next meeting is this coming Wednesday 4th May 2015 from 5pm onwards if the weather is good!

Thanks! Two exposures - car / sky, with a gradient. Shot near home Leigh-on-Sea (handy for those 5am starts!)

Didn't go, but sadly I'd handed the keys back a week ago frown So either someone from Caterham, or another media type

I took this in 2010. Two very similar VW "splitties" at Hurworth Classic Car Show near Darlington. I cannot remember how come there were two such similar vehicles together, I'm sure there must have been a story but if I found out, I cannot remember now!

PP confession - the sky has been "tweaked" also the vans were covered in some sort of flying black beetle which seemed to be drawn to the lemon yellow paint, I've painted most of them out!

Estate.


Brown nylon interior.

Cool, nice work! Only thing I'd do is bring down the brightness of the car a bit.
