Pub lunch yesterday - old car in the garden...

[chris.mapey]

All C&C welcomed.

Went for a pub lunch and found the Roller in the garden, and an old Cortina estate in the waste ground next door!

The Marie Celeste of the dogging world....

[_dobbo_]

Nice B&W treatment on these.

[Marc W]

Nice shots. I notice there's an old van in front of the Cortina too. Did you get any more shots?

[jackal]

what a great little diorama to stumble across

may I ask where this was ?

If you are in Suffolk - it's the lovely garden in the Chequers, Kettleburgh (near Framlingham)

Didn't have chance to get many more shots, my 3y/o was adamant that the slide & swings needed to be played with rather than Daddy hiding in the nettles taking photos

I like number two

[Carolineccb1]

I like number 2 too - it looks like it's lurking.

I thought the wife had stopped you doing that?!

I like the nettle growing out of the radiator - might be worth a closer look?

I like 2 & 3... for some reason has a bit of "Christine" to it..

First shot does nothing for me I'm afraid. I think it's because it's too well hidden, or perhaps it just doesn't have the presence of the RR?

Cheers for that Podie - I'm a bit ambivalent (no that doesn't mean I can hold a camera in my other hand as well;)) about that one as well - I feel there "is a photo trying to get out" but I didn't get it that time

I know what you mean about the "Christine" feel - I'm going to have a "reprocess" of number 2 and see what I get...

I don’t like sounding negative, so hope that came over OK? No 1 might work a bit better in colour? It may just have too much foliage in the way.

As for No 2 – try using the gradient slider in Photoshop to give a much harsher B&W conversion and see if it comes alive.

[chris.mapey]

Not negative at all, as I put at the top all C&C welcome... If I want my ego feeding I can show them to family members who will coo at them - I have the skin of a rhino (Simpo's met me & thinks I have the build of one as well )

I'm going to have a go later tonight when I'm back at home and have access to PS etc.

Cheers

Chris

[Podie]

Chris... let's see 'em then!

Sorry for the delay - I had to do a run to Stansted yesterday!







Cheers for looking

Now they *really* work for me.

Shame, thats a Shadow II as well

The colour really lifts #3!

I know - it's actually in quite good nick and the interior looks great. Why let it rot under a tree?

Offer to buy it from them, then flog it as a restoration project?
