Photo Of The Month - August '08 - TIME'S NEARLY UP!

Mon Jul 07, 2008 10:34 am

Ok, that gives me a week to get off my arse, find my camera, read the instruction manual and come up with something that has previously been done a million times

Mon Jul 07, 2008 10:41 am

Hmmm... something like that! :lol:

Any shiney e30's want to be the victims of my new camera and super wide angle lens?

Mon Jul 07, 2008 5:09 pm

I'd love my car in the Wimbledon shot please - it would look awesome and would apply to the AELTC rules, ie All White!!

It is an old photo with my old BBS wheels on it. I don't have many good photos that are up to date. I will have to take some with my Nikon D80 - it should get a few good photos with it.

Sigma 10-20 by any chance? & you've got E30s - it's about the photo this month, not the car...

Mon Jul 07, 2008 5:22 pm

Tokina 12-24, got better reviews than the sigma.

My touring is proper rough!!!

Been out for a quick snap. Light in the wrong place really, so couldn't do what I wanted.

I'll process them and up load anyway.

If the weather is the same on Sat, white fluffy clouds, I'll have another pop.

Good stuff. If you could clearly label them as your entry (be a shining example to everyone else!), it's no problem to change that if you take more!

Mon Jul 07, 2008 7:33 pm

I might take mine out and take a few pics of mine in this thunderstorm we are having in Kent.
Hey its summery isn't it

Mon Jul 07, 2008 7:43 pm

Might well make a good picture, & what sums the British Summer up better than rain?!

Mon Jul 07, 2008 8:17 pm

Perhaps one of those beading shots that detailers love so much.

There is a meet on the 12th July, Ill take some pics there if its sunny.

"Diamonds at the End of the Rainbows"

Taken at Herne Bay, Kent looking back at Reculver Castle on the evening of Monday, 7th July 2008 (a new photo).

They came out shit mate. The light was terrible. Either lovely sky, shit car or lovely car, blown sky. I'll try to rescue one...

My CS3 just broke, getting a new one....

Tue Jul 08, 2008 5:04 pm

Seeing as noone is following the rules. Here is a photo I took a few days ago:

No e30 to look at, but the river Nile instead

I just liked the sky aspect of the photo. Loved the colour.

Tue Jul 08, 2008 5:43 pm

CS3 fixed and running.

Here's my £400 turdmeister:

The light was all wrong so I've fumbled through photoshop, much akin to a teenage virgin boy trying to operate a bra clasp.

Tue Jul 08, 2008 6:27 pm

No disguising the fact the car is a skip.

Tue Jul 08, 2008 6:47 pm

It's a bit tatty, but very much less rusty than most sports!

Tue Jul 08, 2008 6:52 pm

touring FTW

Tue Jul 08, 2008 6:55 pm

Not mine!

well one of them anyway!

Tue Jul 08, 2008 7:11 pm

My entry - One of my turd, taken on a lovely summers evening. Not exactly a summery shot but the sunset is on the glass behind.

Tue Jul 08, 2008 7:59 pm

/\ Very pretty car, even with Jerry's stripes!

Where are you based?

Thank you for the compliment, just can't drive it at the moment as I've broken my leg. I'm based not too far from Cambridge near the Suffolk border.

Tue Jul 08, 2008 9:28 pm

Sorry to hear that you've broken your leg.

Which one? I was lucky when I was in a full leg cast for it to be my left leg. I drive an automatic, so I was still able to drive my car with a little adjustment with the seat everything was okay.

All the best for a speedy recovery :winkeye:

Tue Jul 08, 2008 9:59 pm

I dont have summer pics of the car yet,

these however, were taken at sunrise and sunset about 2 weeks (midsummers day) ago at anchor off the coast of rotterdam...

Hope you like them, Chris

Wed Jul 09, 2008 12:20 am

Looking good Maurice. I do miss that car

You clipped off a bit of the rear bumper

and did you even light the car at all?

(seeing as you correct my grammar)

A bit over zealous with the crop; tow bar removal! I'm shit with potato chop!

No light on the car at all. It's the west face of the hill fort. Need to be there about 8am ish for proper light.

Plus I don't own a speedlight, or have the nous to artificially light it correctly, so rely on sunshine!

Grammar corrected
