Cars & Coffee v.4.28 *opinions please!*

[svt2888]

So, lately I've been getting more "artistic" with my shots and doing lots of close-ups, black & whites, and "aerial" shots. I'd like to know what you guys think of that. Should I continue? Or tone it down a bit and keep it to mostly "Normal" shots?

As to the show...what can I say? Once again we had an excellent array of cars and the weather was PERFECT. This is probably one of my favorite sets of shots that I've ever taken. I said "wow" out loud while editing some of these shots, which is saying a lot because I've taken so many shots at this point that it's hard to amaze my self. As I was editing I kept thinking in a Steve Erkel voice "Did I do that?!"

My favorite cars from the show where the Mercedes Benz 200A Cabriolet which was brought over from the Mercedes Benz Classic Center, and the Jaguar V12 Powered Hot Rod. The crowd favorite was the Brabus SLS AMG. Which was your favorite car from this weekends set? Which was your favorite shot?

The mix you have in this report is pretty much perfect, I'd say. Keep it like this! ;D

As for my favourites this time? These...

[steveo3002]

not keen on close up pics of badges and wheel logos , would rather have a good look at the whole car

if its super rare etc then good pics of the car plus some detail shots

[cairyhunt]

I don't see anything I don't like in the above shots! Love the detail shots and the aerial shots work very well.

Every car you see posted has a bunch of full shots available in the gallery

The links don't work for me!..and truthfully..the multiple images-low resolution-copyright logo doesnt do it for me either..but otherwise their all fine!..cars are an ambiguous subject..i personally just take street shots..and like to incorporate background as well...as it tells more of a story..

Great set of shots, a bit over processed (colour wise) for my taste but that could just be the better quality of sunlight.

By aerial you mean overhead (my aerial shots are from 10m up).

Favourite has to be the silver roadster( V12?)



Is the AML1 number plate on the Virage for real or just the show?

This one is great, atmospheric, good use of depth of field and looks good in B&W.

I like a bit of variation of shots, it tells a better story of the meet, plus I am a fan of arty shots just for the sake of it. Whatever you choose to do, the photos always look great and I really enjoy the C&C threads.

Yup that's what I mean, the overhead shots.

The silver roadster has a Jaguar V12.

Oh and thanks, lots of people seem to be liking that last shot.

Great mix of photos SVT Nice to see some detail shots in teh mix, particularly if they are of cars that seem to be regular attendees -like the DB Panhard.

That Avanti must be an exceptionally late on? Assuming that's what it is.

Probably just for show, thought that could be his California reg no. I suppose. I did see AML 1 (or perhaps 1 AML) on a new Lagonda driving through London towne yesterday however. His bhp did not make up for my superior lane knowledge round Victoria ;D

In 1979..i was with my aunt and uncle in a RS2000 Custom..my aunt being top woman saloon racing car driver at the time [we'd just been racing]..and we were passed on the motorway by a Lagonda wearing AML1..it was nr the MG plant...which Aston Martin was thinking of buying at the time...

That's what I meant his California registration. AML1 belongs to Aston Martin they have a collection of plates they use, including AMV8, which I saw years ago on a V8 Vantage being driven at speed down the M4. Also remember a DB7 Vantage with the reg V12MMM (not an AM car), belonged to a salesman at Morse computers.

Porsche have a few plates as well, 911HUL gets used on they're press demonstrators.
