Amazing pictures!
Its soo refreshing to see some genuinely different cars. Even a pic of a Bugatti Veyron is boring these days lol

Great photos, i really must go some year.

[TvrJohn]

Great, went a couple of years ago, images bring it all back.

Is there any webcams so we can see and more importantly HEAR ?

I will post some of mine later, but for now can you help me with a problem I've spotted.

On a few pics, like the one below, I've noticed that there's dark areas at the corners of the pictures



Why is this happening and can I get rid of it?

Many thanks

Rob

It's vignetting: all lenses will be darker at the corners to a small degree but that looks like something is physically preventing light from reaching the edges of the frame. Likely causes on an SLR camera: using a non-standard lens-hood that's too big, using multiple filters or any sort of filters or filter holder on a wide-angle lens, using a lens designed for small-sensor digital cameras on a large-sensor or film camera.

It's an Infinity. Gorgeous.

It's a stunning mix of Lexus/Maserati Gran Turismo looks with a gorgeous cabin.

I decided there and then that this would be a car I'd buy many years into the future. It's beautiful.

(Which says alot as the thought of buying a new car normally petrifies me)

It only seems to be on the shots using the 18-70mm lens on my Sony a350. I've got a lens protector and a polarizing filter on, but the dark areas don't show up on all pics with this lens. I've now taken the lens protector off, so hopefully this should stop the problem. The lens hood is the one that came with the lens and is only small, hardly worth using tbh.

Really annoyed cos it has ruined some nice pics.

It'll happen when you're at the wide end of the lens (18mm). When you're zooming in, you won't get this at all. Can't you just crop out the corners?

Yeah, I'm sorting them out in PSE now. I think most of them will crop out, but with some others it will take away too much of the pic and spoil the effect.
I'm still on a steep learning curve regarding DSLRs and photography in general, but learning from my mistakes.

Lovely pics!

I haven't even started sorting mine yet, just dragged them off the camera!
