Bentleys on Parade

[Dark Star]

Don't know what to think about these. While we were at the Low Wood Hotel in Windermere the Bentley Drivers Association turned up for a weekend jolly. I found it difficult to get some decent (in my mind) pics as they were parked in amongst the regular guests cars :(...anyway here's three I kinda liked. :)

Very nice indeed, beautiful cars, especially like the 2nd shot - the pattern of the grill and the deep paint finish, look brilliant, also smooth tones and gentle DoF all make this a really nice shot for me.
There is a slight problem though - that muppet whos got his people carrier parked right at the end (hope its not yours:eek: ). Despite that great shot, I would have a go at cloning it out though.

Thanks - that was the general problem - isolating the good 'uns from the dross - and it wasn't car - the car park was so full of Bentley's that I (a paying guest!!!) had to use the overflow car park 500 yds down the road! Gasp!!!!

2nd and third are both really nice. FIrst looks like it might have a wee bit of shake on it?

Thanks Dod, so it does, all hand held (with one eye over my shoulder trying to avoid half a dozen Bentleys looking for a parking space :eek: )

Very smart. I love shooting old Bentleys. I usually make it to he Bentley Drivers Club meeting at Silverstone each AuUgust. Great cars. :)

They did look very smart, I should have hung around, as I drove away from Windermere the older cars were setting off with their drivers decked out in appropriate garb for a day driving the 'old girl' in the countryside. Would have made some nice candids.
