Superb shots, mate. superb! I love the "colour" of them - really good tone. How did you achieve that? Is it duotone?

[jagdpanther]

Thats some negative camber on the rear of the bug


Very good shots!

[GiorgioGT]

loving the swamp cooler

Thanks guys

Tony, the B&W conversion was done using gradiant map, curve adjustment then some level adjustment

Great photos mate, I'm not really one for beetles but Lucie is

[hawkaye]

not keen on the shadow behind Lucie on this shot:






















Other than that they are amazing, top work, and superb lighting!

[nick_bbb]

Thanks everyone

Why do I use models and cars? I'm trying to plug a niche in the market that isn't there, Fahsion Automotive :lol: Erm, like cars, like models

Not sure about that flash shadow myself either to be honest.

Got a few more here...

Not a fan of the black border but great shots otherwise - esp like the grain on the facials (8 & 17). PS effect or did you play with your ISO settings

ISO to the max, plus cropped slightly so shows up even more

These are great, I always like your photos Nick - however I don't agree with the comments about grain, I don't like it.

In 8 and 17 is that natural or artifically added? It looks artificial to me, and I don't think it adds anything to the photo.

Wonky bottom teeth wreck #23 but really good other than that.

I thought they looked quite cute!

Nice photos.

Cool photos, what's tied to the side of the roof rack?

[bernie_eccle]

Quality images as always but left wondering whether I want to see some of them in colour. I can't help but think that there must be a riot of colour in the shots? Perhaps that would detract.
