A gorgeous Bentley in the nearly perfect setting, well I took these two photos in a hurry because it was damn cold.









Edited to add a couple more close-up pics smile

Gotta say I agree on this one, that really isn't a nice looking Bentley...

They should have named it "Kardashian" rather then Bentandgoes or whatever it's called.

I realise it's going off topic, but I find myself so incredibly frustrated that Bentley, whose modern designs have all had an elegant simplicity to them, if not always cohesive, have created this with its myriad of contrasting lines, curves, and both convex and concave surfaces. It's a gushing catastrophe!

(All in my humble, aesthetically unqualified opinion, of course. wink)

Do you use the Hasselblad for those?

The shot of the SV chasing me down was on the Hasselblad, the rest were on my Nikon D800. The Hasselblad isn't quick enough to get steady shots of a car flying sideways towards you

Nice set. The front view SV and chasing 911 R look great.

This is by no means intended as a criticism, because those shots are awesome. But, out of curiosity for someone like me who knows jack about photography, are the shaded lines that are visible in the blue sky shots simply what you get with digital cameras? Or is it through posting onto forums where something happens to quality etc?
When I've tried tweaking my own images with PS etc. these lines sometimes become more apparent and I don't know whether that would be acceptable to those who do know something about photography!
