Haha, I'd dropped Mrs. 8bit off to do the shopping but our youngest was asleep in the back of our car so I drove around a bit. The Lancia was parked up with the owner sat inside waiting at the shop when I went back to collect the wife. When she came out of the shop I popped over and had a chat with him and asked him if I could shoot his car sometime. Top bloke, he has some other interesting cars so I'll hopefully meet him again for more shoots.

Awesome!

Right location for a 6 times WRC winner! smile

Thanks! Yeah anywhere else wouldn't have seemed right, and we totally lucked out with the weather. Doesn't look like Scotland!

Nice pics - what camera/lens was being used?

Cheers.

Nikon D750 with the kit lens (24-120/f4 I think)

Do you have a Flickr or a Instagram LaSource?

I also shoot with a D750 and its nice to follow others with similar kit smile

Plus, very much enjoying your shots.

That's nice to hear. I am on instagram @tanhan01
It is a bit single track and mainly just cars I drive on circuit, in pitlanes, or on the way to trackdays, etc biggrin

Lots of stuff I haven't posted there...I guess I need to start posting!

Hmm...it does have some challenging angles(!)

But still funky in its own way.

Thanks for the clip.

I’m impressed, these are some of the best car pics I’ve ever come across in a forum. They all look so sharp with rich colours and a dramatic sky; was any post-processing involved?

That is very kind of you. I feel there is so much still to learn.

Yes there is some post processing - usually just tweaking through lightroom, raising shadow details, bringing out some of the details in the sky, etc. I think post processing is kinked to personal taste...some people may find the post processing attractive, others less so. Someones ones own taste changes such that you see something you did a year earlier and it looks all wrong smile

On that note....here is today's offering...
