This week put a Lambo on your laptop...

It might be raining outside but if there is one thing that can be guaranteed to brighten up your day, it's a (bright) orange Lamborghini.

This, as you've probably guessed, is a Gallardo Superleggera, and we think it will make a great addition to your desktop.

Stunning car ( ) and stunning photography

My new desktop background.

Great photography

Keep them coming.

I already have dozens and dozens of wallpaper sized pics of the latest Astons/Lambos/GTR etc. What would be really cool would be wallpaper sized pics of stuff that's much harder to find, such as the PH hero cars, try finding a worthy pic in decent size of an Integrale or 205GTi or something like that.

[VladD]

Great car, however, the one thing I didn't like about this Gallardo was the rear lights, and the fact that they go "up and over". They've fixed it on the new one though so now all I need to do is get some money from somewhere.

Prefer this:



Guess where I nicked that from?

Ok, so who at pistonheads had access to a time machine to take a Gallardo back to 80's?

That photo looks like a 20 year old happy snap. Very little detail or deffinition. In fact that is the single worst quality photo that I have seen in a (usually good) aray of photo's of the week so far. Can we have a decent quality photo or at least less messing with the 'shop to reduce the size / quality next please?

[CypherP]

Oh stop whinging and put it on your desktop, job knockey!

Or better yet, buy one for yourself, and then you can look at it as closely and as defined as possible, courtesy of your own retinas

Better looking than the LP560.
The Supperleggera in Orange is God, in motoring terms, as far as I'm concerned!

There are worse things to trade up to, eh?

I'm with munk, thats a crap shot.

[papercup]

He's right, thats a crap picture. Its all fuzzy and you can't even read the word 'lamborghini'.

Are we really that short of good quality shots?

Here's one that i got from the RX-7 forum, a guy borrowed a £25000-odd Hasselblad camera and took it in an underground car park. Its been my wallpaper ever since. But i do own one....

EDIT: it looks jagged as the browser has resized it; right click and save it to your PC; then it looks alright when you open it.



Here's the other one he took.

I assume the colours are supposed to be like that, it's either cross-processed or digitally made to look like cross-processed film. Could do with more depth-of-field though, or at least focus on the lambo badge...

[flattotheboards]

Another nice PH pic of the week.

[trackdemon]

Blimey, dont shoot me! I know its not sharp & obviously I'm not happy about that - I was hanging over the edge of the level above so couldn't use a tripod & couldn't get shutter as fast as I needed. What can I say, this is the one I was asked for....!

[Arun_D]

Gotta love the pointless whinging and the 'my wallpaper is better than yours' hehe

So it's a bit grainy, either use it as your desktop or don't. Nice Superleggy, nice setting, nice photo.

One of my favourite Trackdemon shots of one of my cars

Hoon around some of the rest of the site - some good stuff from meets.

This from last night



Not top notch photography ie me with a cameraphone

but some decent snappies taking decent shots if you care to browse enough.

Because when you were featured as the PH picture of the week it was so much better...

Hang on...
