.... location is awful!

I know - that's what I mean.

To be honest the shots were taken to advertise the car - not with this thread in mind

But thanks for the other kind comments, because I really have never tried to photo it at all properly. This was an experimentation to see if I could light it and shoot it half well technically as much as anything else. The other issue I always have is what a D2X (and my processing)seems to do to blue (and purples). The crystal topaz has always got the better of me you see!

Bloody Hell - that's a nice looking car

[gary71]

You know, I think you should buy one!

[beano500]

You'd have to be a fool to part with one

A couple of my efforts from when the weather was sunnier and warmer.

Corr that Trev really is gorgeous and you have perfect lighting too. Only critique is composition (if OK?) crop it so you JUST exclude the rear wheel & arch, unless you have the full car pic?

It's a quick composite bodge of Beano500's car in a stock background, I loved the lighting, but didn't like the fencing in his original shot! (top of the page)

[beano500]

Who's fencing my Tuscan? - haven't even sold it yet! Tch!

I'm off looking for venues, 'til it goes then.....

[paul911]

Gotcha ta, still ace though

Question for clarification, does it have to be our current steed, or can it be a past steed as long as owned and photogprahed by us during ownership

Ah - and what happens if we manage to sell it during the course of the month?

[beano500]

And another try....

Grand Union Canal in Harefield?

Blimey - give that man a cookie!

How d'ya know that (and so quick!)?

Spot on - lane/towpath opposite "Coy Carp". Spur of teh moment, while out scouting for local good shooting spots. Where else should I be trying? I've lived in the area for 7 years and don't know any good spots!!!

This has to be the single most difficult subject for a competition on PistonHeads

Some amazing cars & pictures on this thread

Is it worth entering our spooky Puma?

^ Yes, I think it's a great little car, though I'm biased, and nice photo...
