A bit of spare time on my hands, so I shot this....

[The Moose]

Not having a lot to do this afternoon, and with the perfect opportunity, I thought I would snap some shots of a 964 RS Lightweight. Didn't have time (or couldn't be arsed!!) to give it a wash first - forgive the dust etc! Thought you might like to see them!

Lovely car in a great setting. A disappointing lack of weeds in the block paving too

Sorry

Will try to do better next time

Superb. The car's not too bad either

Where is this? What a nice location

Very nice pictures of the car, love the red with the setting.

That's very kind of you to say.

The location is my parents front drive in south Buckinghamshire. Not a bad little place tbh.

Wow amazing, I could just imagine what the house looks like!

Excellent photography

Fabulous car, one of my fave Porsches!

The house must be EPIC.

MTR

Wow! to the car and the setting.

Your car then Moosey? I'm so gutted I missed the boat (money-wise) on the RSs.
You're folks must have made a lot of money in whatever they done/do!
I've seen smaller driveways into hotels.

One day.

The old man's too!!

I do enjoy driving the old girl though. There is something about climbing in the tight Recaro SPGs (tight for me anyway ) and feeling that chunky steering wheel in your hands as you turn the key...

It could be worse

I note it's the cheaper end of the types of block paving on sale at the moment...

You're right - granite sets are bloody cheap at the moment

Nice car!

No bias..

[SteveM46]

Nice camera work too - what did you use? And any tweaking in Photoshop?

And of course gorgeous car; the dust adds a certain something, like it was a bottle of vintage wine!

[The Moose]

Camera Body: Canon EOS 5D (Mark I)

Camera Lens: EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM (IIRC!!)

In order:

1st shot

Exposure 0.077 sec (1/13)
Aperture f/22.0
Focal Length 24 mm
ISO Speed 200

2nd Shot

Exposure 1/8000 sec
Aperture f/4.0
Focal Length 24 mm
ISO Speed 200

3rd Shot

Exposure 0.033 sec (1/30)
Aperture f/22.0
Focal Length 105 mm
ISO Speed 200

4th Shot (cropped!!)

Exposure 0.001 sec (1/1000)
Aperture f/4.0
Focal Length 80 mm
ISO Speed 200

All have had fiddling in photoshop (well, a Mac equivalent) and one had a big old crop too.

I've received differing comments about the dust - on reflection, I quite like it too! ( although prefer a clean girl )

Sorry - had missed this first time around. They're currently both out of work, and have been for the last 5/6 years. Although I don't know the full ins and outs of their financial position, I do know they are currently claiming benefits of some sort. That's what having 4 kids does I guess

Great info, thanks. I've got a 550D that I'm still trying to get to grips with, but I love the sharp vivid colours, particularly in the first shot, and wonder if that's the quality of the camera or some colour saturation tweaking. Either way, picture postcard images, really lovely!
