Thanks

posting this 2nd one as a link only because when I tried to get it down to 100K it looked dreadful. So its a 210K image.

First pictures with a new camera, or car??

I love the first one, very nice indeed!

I like this shot, particularly with the lines of the car and the clouds, both connecting to a "disappearing point" on the horizon (I think that's what they call it!). I suspect the purists will advise removing the white lines on the road surface, particularly the one that "appears" from the front on the car. Nontheless, this is a great shot. Would have loved to have taken it, and to have the motor!

Just remembered; it's the "vanishing point" ...

First pictures posted on here. Sadly not my car. The one in the link is.

Thanks for the comments - hadn't even thought about the white line - so this is proving useful already.

Wow!

How did you retain the detail on this side of the Porsche; a filter of some sort?

Very nice. The white lines don't bother me but they'd be easily removed if you did want rid.

The GT3 looks beautiful in that light, the reflection on the bonnet, the way it all closes in on the vanishing point...utterly wonderful and a nice desktop background

Unfortunately I didn't have time to get the tripod out or else I might have taken two shots at different exposures (sky and car).

In this case I just took a few shots at different exposures. I then just tweaked the exposure afterwards differently for the sky and on the car. The sun's obviously blown out in this shot but I think it was the best compromise exposure of the ones I had.

I probably had an ND4 or ND 8 graduated filter on but I can't remember for sure (d'oh).

Thanks for the comments on composition - I knew it looked sort of right when I took it, but now I know why (the vanishing point thing) so I'll have to try to look out for that in future.
