Thanks for the opportunity. Do you think anyone would object if I put Fearless John tribute stripes on my Mustangs, or understand? -- Frank ess |

I see no problem with that, other than it is normal to reserve tributes for the dead, or near dead. ....and on a Mustang? -- Regards, Savageduck |

And they often beg for more space in front of the car IMHO. 6-wheel Tyrell. Hmmm. -- Bertrand |

If you are in anyway "green" this might not be for you. ;-) http://homepage.mac.com/lco/Sites/LagunaSwH/index.html Wow. Some evocative shots there. My favourite: http://homepage.mac.com/lco/Sites/La...447_large.html This would have been my favourite except there isn't quite enough depth of field, Even so, it comes close: http://homepage.mac.com/lco/Sites/La...174_large.html In both cases, what makes the shot is the thoughtful and well-chosen composition. Very impressive, and the whole album gave this grey-haired former petrolhead (motorsport enthusiast) a lot of pleasure. With subjects like these I tend to avoid extreme wide angles (anything wider than 28mm on full frame, say 18mm on APS-C) because cars of that era were rarely photographed with ultra-wides *in that era*. So some of the shots, while technically beyond criticism, are slightly less evocative than they might be because of the focal lengths used. I liked them a lot. The Troll won't. ;-) Thanks for checking, and the comments. If you check the EXIF, you will find the 1930 Alfa Zagato GC-1750 GS shot was @ 38mm (57mm FF equiv.) Here it is pulled out some @ 24mm (36mm FF equiv.) http://homepage.mac.com/lco/filechute/_DNC3951w.jpg -- Regards, Savageduck |

Here it is pulled out some @ 24mm (36mm FF equiv.) http://homepage.mac.com/lco/filechute/_DNC3951w.jpg Thanks again, a lovely shot and as crisp as could be. I apologise for not making myself clear about the too-wide shots. I wasn't referring to either of the two I highlighted, whose angles of view were perfect (I just prayed to see that lovely Alfa through an aperture two stops smaller!). Here are some examples, where the wide angle was IMHO a little too wide: http://homepage.mac.com/lco/Sites/La...240_large.html http://homepage.mac.com/lco/Sites/La...530_large.html http://homepage.mac.com/lco/Sites/La...350_large.html (do you have any shots of the exquisite Bugattis in the background?!?) http://homepage.mac.com/lco/Sites/La...406_large.html My point is that, while these are shots that look perfectly normal in 2010, when extreme wide-angle lenses are in many people's camera bags, they don't evoke the spirit of the cars' heyday. In the 1960s, for example, a 35mm lens on 35mm film was considered wide enough. So it's not in any way a criticism, just observing that some of the shots might have been even more evocative if you had chosen a slightly longer focal length. I understand what you are saying, but you shoot with what you have. I got all sorts of Bugatti shots, and Lagonda shots. The main reason I tried getting those Bugatti project car shots by going wide, was just to capture the jaw dropping spectacle of what was there. -- Regards, Savageduck |
