I'm a bit of an amateur photographer and when i've got nothing better to point my camera at i quite often turn the lens towards my car, so i thought i'd show a few on here.

Very cool, loving the night shots. What colour is your car? Looks a bit different.

That was my first though, but I've seen tonnes of dolphin grey cars and I never thought they looked so greeny.

Cheers people, i'm pretty sure it's dolphin grey unless the previous owner found something similar but cheaper when he had it re-sprayed. The interior and engine bay aren't much to look at right now but rest assured, when i'm happy with them there'll be plenty of shots of both.

I like that one too, the darkness outside of the cars headlights was pretty eery and i think that shot captured it best.

Took a few more in the dark the other day, i didn't realise till i got home that i had the iso set too high so they aren't great quality.

1) One of the rear

Image

2) Lurking in the shadows

Image

3) A different view

I really need to start shooting it during the daytime :mad:

I've been trying for a few weeks to get the car shot whilst still clean but the weather has had other ideas, the day started off lovely but as per most days off i had one or two jobs around the house to do before i could get out.
And wouldn't you just know it, as soon as i get the car clean and fuelled up the clouds descend and i have a horribly flat sky to shoot against. But i thought, sod it, i want to get some practice in with my processing and i'm sick of re-doing my old shots.
So here's some industrial estate based photos, c&c welcome

1) One from the front

Image

2) A rather fat arse

Image

3) The cars best angle (imo)

That " lurking in the shadows " shot is spot on. Could be an iconic photo. :thumb:

I do intend on re-doing that shot at some point, hopefully with the weather warming up staying outside photographing wont freeze my nips off.

Love the most recent two pics! Amazing! How do you achieve that grainy almost hand drawn effect?? Where abouts in the country are you?

Cheers guys, there's quite a bit of processing involved in my shots and unfortunately none of it is do-able in camera. If you know your way around photoshop and a have a program called photomatix
it's easy to recreate.
