...to take photos of?

I wasn't over the moon with these shots but I was just scouting out some photo spots for when the Westfield is on the road, and practicing a bit as I've not done much auto photography

Did you crank the green up using photoshop?
Nice photos anyway, interesting car in an interesting location.

I do think



would look better if you crop the dark hedge to the left of the car off tho.

Like this:



IMHO of course.

Yeah, just upped the saturation a little

I quite like your version actually, annoyingly a little way down the road there's no bushes, but it narrows and it was quite busy (all the back roads are here).

Nice, I like the side on one best.

By the way, want to buy an exhaust?



Just kidding, don't think it will fit your car

that's pretty cool - it makes it look like a macro pic of a model car

Actually it will fit my car, I've been toying with buying that exhaust for some time, makes it sound like an M3.

But alas the Smart is being sold before the end of the year so I don't want to spend any more on it.

Not too far from the truth

Pic looks good Justin, the shot was taken on the lowest f-stop I could go to get some nice DoF but wasn't really enough.

I like it but I didn't think it was that good.

Very nice photos mate! You've really got the green surrounding coming out rich and crisply, gives a really nice contrast to your car! shots 3, 4, and 6 stand out for me. They have a huge amount of depth to them.

Good going mate
