Cleaned the Clio and took this really like the photo

Personally, I think it's an awful pic.

Bad light, too much clutter surrounding the car etc. Looks like it's been taken off some 6mp cameraphone

I'm going to a rally stage in a few weeks so keep your eyes peeled for the photos from that

Tonys · Aug 27, 2013

Really like that shot of the Willy.
Car looks absolutely superb too.

Habitual · Aug 28, 2013

What Tamron lens did you use?? Quality looks immense.

Brazo · Aug 28, 2013

From exif a 17-50 2.8. Used to have one myself, good sharpness once stopped down a tad.

Gavin. · Aug 28, 2013

I'm looking for one of those myself at the minute.

I bought a second hand Tamron 17-50 2.8 VC a few weeks back and it's a beaut. Really impressed with the IQ.

Gavin. · Aug 28, 2013

I'm bidding on one, hopefully i'll pick up a bargain.

I know the feeling, I used to like the odd one or two of my car on my drive etc, they were crap photos looking back at it now, but to me I just 'kinda liked it'.. Guess that's what this thread is about.. It's not like it's a competition.. All about what it means to you. Car looks clean mate. Keep up the good work and get practising..

Niall · Aug 29, 2013

I second what Luke said, when I look back at some of my old work it's shocking how bad it is compared what I thought of it at the time.

Cheers mate ! I thought it looked okay only been taking photos a short while but I do quite enjoy it , never aiming to be professional or anything just enjoy it in my free time ! I like the photo and the idea was to show clean the cars came up ! Oh well thank you

Cracking BTCC pics above.

I went to Baden Hall for the Safari Comp. This was my personal favourite.

This was my best panning from the day IMO.

Comp Safari at Baden Hall 2013 by Tom Cash, on Flickr

1/80, f/7.1, 55mm, ISO 100.

Yes, 55mm... I was rather close!

It is indeed as said the 17-50mm f2.8, the non vc version tho.
All the pictures taken here Dunkirk and Gravelines, France was with the same lens.

I keep looking to upgrade it to the Nikon 24-70mm, but im really not sure why as i cant see it being much better.

^The only problem with using selective colour in that is that you’ve got the reflection of the grass on the car and it makes it green at the edges.

One from the Yorkshire Dales today-

Rob · Aug 29, 2013

Is that not just the flip paint?

Niall · Aug 29, 2013

No Rob, because the window has the same reflection if you look closely.

I’ve just noticed another problem - you can see the background in colour through the windscreen, that probably occured when you went around the car with the path and everything inside it will be the colour layer, so you just need to use the eraser on the colour layer in that patch where you can see the background colour through the screen

Ah only just noticed that, will have another play around sometime. Cheers

Like the sheep shot Niall. That lens produces some lovely images.

Obviously nothing to do with you.... :rasp:

Niall · Aug 30, 2013

Haha

but yeah it's good, really good. I can't wait to shoot some Motorsport with it to see how it fares when it comes to that.

Habitual · Aug 30, 2013

It'll be epic man. You won't need IS at all for motorsport either, which is good.

Tonys · Aug 31, 2013

Loving the church shots Aaron.

Ay Ay Ron · Aug 31, 2013

Cheers for the comments guys. I've lived within 5-10 miles of it all of my life and have never bothered to shoot there. Need to go back at night.

I noticed a lot of dust spots on my pictures! Need to clean the sensor before Italy on Monday.

Ay Ay Ron · Aug 31, 2013

Managed to get a couple of shots of the Vulcan earlier from my garden ( 4 Miles from the show), was too tired to get to the air show today but will be going tomorrow. I'd forgotten how bloody big it was!

Heavily cropped.
