My fave non Clio/Renault Pics from the day.

I've figured out most of your locations but where is this? I can't think of anywhere that low! Judging by the powerlines it's heading up Avon Rise maybe?

Cheers Dan, was a very quiet day by Come standards but some of the cars made up for it. There weas some nice stuff on display to, but I was to lazy to change the lens to shot the static stands.

Rich, have you considered using a filter to reduce glare and too much brightness on a day like yesterday? Without wishing to be overly-critical I notice you have a lot of burnt out areas on the side-on panning shots, exactly the same as I was experiencing. I'm not really sure what to look out for but anything to reduce over-exposure for what are relatively slow shutter speeds in such bright conditions might be helpful.

I have a Nuetral Density filter which I may try but it's probably a little dark (ND4)

Very nice pics mate

especially this one

Is the clio KTECs turbo? Why does it have to be covered in shitty stick on plastic bits?

lol, it's a rolling advert for their products I guess. Agree though, it looks pretty awful!

 

[Dave S2K]

[ChrisE]

Lovin these two!! :approve:

 

[ChrisE]

You've got some talent with the camera matey!! :approve:

 

[Jonaldinho]

Awesome pics mate :approve:

 

[Rich]

Cheers Guys. Yeah shame the KTEC car looks the way it does. Like others said it is an advert for there business to sell parts.

Chris - yeah the sun was annoying me, the backgrounds did not lok to bad on the screen. I really would not know which filter to buy.

I have Hoya UV Haze filter which is nearly clear so douubt it would help. The info I have read on the filters seems mixed some find they can cause glare even with lens hoods on. Will do some more reading.

You should have - My mate has a Spah and 3 door cnat waint for them boith to be back on the road. Big soft spot for them here. Had an Escos lined up before my 182 but the insurance wanted a garage and it wont fit in ours as we have a work bench at on end.

Thats the lot I am afraid as I was only there for a few hours yesterday afternoon.

 

[Norris_309]

the same mate has also now got a saph cossie very tidy one. he is selling that now too lol..
he seems to go through cars like nobody's business!

nice car but can't really bring myself to pay the insurance & running costs of that, not at the moment anyway. (would be nice as a 2nd car i think)

 

[Norris_309]
