Pretty sure I would have a shot of driving that if I had the chance! More comical than 'badly' modified

They don't look that low because it's been exposed according to the meter. The (tiny) scrap of sky is grey, shadows are pretty much non-existent meaning a diffuse light source, meaning cloudy sky. The blurring is only on 'moving' objects (people, plants, boot lids) due to the long exposure, not bokeh, and diffraction is only really a problem at f/32 or smaller (obviously depending on glass quality, zoom/prime, etc.). The fact it's a 800x600 (or whatever) JPG means it's not going to be easily detectable anyway.

Approximate exposure of an object in direct sunlight at f/16 is 1/ISO, and that is definitely not direct sunlight.

If an ND filter was used, it's a pointless endeavour with animated objects in the shot; they'd get better results with a circular polariser and then at least it would remove the skylight reflections from the car bodywork. A graduated ND is great for landscapes or other wildly varying stops of light, a flat ND even when you've really got to get a dreamy long exposure waterfall, but for a static shot? Whack the shutter speed up.

Looks like an ND filter to me, with the large aperture (obvious from DOF) even on a cloudy day you'd have to use an ND filter to get correct exposure at a shutter speed that slow.

There if definitely DOF blur (bokeh if you will) in there, look at he house in the background and the ground in the foreground.

No idea why they would bother; maybe to deliberately blur moving people/etc. in the shot so they detract from the car less?

This suicide inducer just appeared on facelook.



You'd guess by the car that the sense to take the pic in landscape just isn't there

They're actually charging someone to take this away.

The Cayenne looks like the big brother of the Rover 25.

Yikes,that Civic is something else.^^^

It is a Civic ?

[civicduty]

No, I think you can safely say that was a civic.

I know we've all looked at a 4 door Allegro in our time, and thought... "what that really needs is Lambo doors!"

Love it. If I had a choice between that and a Gullwing Ambassador I'd have to go for a targa-top Maxi.

Not a great choice of colours, but otherwise not too unpleasant.
