It's second day out, & I drove up the road to take a snap.

I don't have photoshop unfortunately, so this is straight off the camera (again! rolleyes) - the light was bad & I didn't take any filters with me, but hopefully it came out okay?

What's the verdict (CRINGE)



Hopefully I'll get out to take some shots of the other new beast this weekend

Thats very nice and VERY clean!

How are the rear arches on your Vantage? Mine look like they've been pebble dashed

Car looks spot on, the light is great for it and the reflections really do it justice. I think the background COULD work well - the blandness of the colour in the trees and the gravel really makes the blue stand out!

The smallest thing though that (if I may) suggest? IT lacks impact; perhaps something even as simple as turning the car maybe by 15 degrees anticlockwise, and the wheels a further 10 degrees anticlockwise would give the shot a bit more "oomph", becasue the rest of it looks great (not exactly those numbers but just to give an idea what I mean )

I say this as a complete amateur with rubbish car photos in my repetoire

It has just had a coat of Supagard It was so shiny, I couldn't resist!

The rear arches on the Vantage are fine - that's because I haven't driven it yet!!! Mr Blondemoment won't let go of the steering wheel!

Looks really good. I have a blue car to shoot soon and I'm busy keeping a look out for rapeseed fields. I reckon the colour contrast would look really great against your Megane too (especially if you can find somewhere that looks vaguely French).

Not at all Ms B!!!! Please be gentle, first pics with my new cam. Looked for something blue to match the paint (bad idea!!!) and then something to emphasise the small size of the lupo and the corgi car wheels!!! (yep - you guessed it that didn't work either....), my photoshop trial ran out so these are straight off the cam too







Could someone graft steve carters brain into my head so this lark is a bit easier???!!!!!!????!!!!

And very nice car BTW, I think your shot was great!
