Yes
I've been out playing today in the ice. Came across a piece of road with huge frost on the trees.

And rigged the cameras to the MX-5 and remote triggered.

Best of the bunch was:

Really liked this one as well.

Really nicely done. The splash of red really works well with the greyness of the day/background. Great angles, too.
 
-6 in that dip with the frosty trees at 11am. Blooming cold! :D

Thanks for the comments.
 
Ah one of Blackpool's finest!

Can only echo the above comments in that the contrasting colours work really well! (y)
The rig shot is a tad blurry though, think I would have bumped the shutter speed up slightly to compensate for the movement.
 
Yeah the rig stuff really didn't work. Tried to go for around 1/15th sec to get the movement but with both cars bouncing it turned out to be difficult. 2 cameras mounted separately in different positions and still most shots were blurred. Thought I'd try the chase car route with remote triggers, perhaps I need a less bumpy road. It's just finding one that's quiet.
Mind you, no pole to clone out.
when it warms up the plan is to shoot handheld from the mx5 with the roof down.
 
Very nice. The red looks amazing against the background.

Also love a good TVR personally, as said above - very brave taking it out in these slippery conditions :p
 
Love the red against the frost.

PP works really well in the 2nd one.
 
Dammit - that's me in LUST again !

Love the look of these cars - especially the unmolested ones like this.

Wonderful backdrops there and great angles. No's 4 and 6 would be finding their way into frames if it was up to me.
Well done.
 
Thanks. Really lucky with the location. We picked a quiet road from memory and as we dropped over the hill on the way we just had a christmas card scene in front of us. Headed into the wooded area to find this really cold area with frost about 10mm long hanging from the trees/bushes/ telegraph lines.

Ice warning on all day. It's fine driving these cars in this weather, you just have to be sensible and remember because it's sunny doesn't mean it's not slippery.

There's a van parked on the center of the vodaphone roundabout this morning in Newbury who forgot that lesson.
 
Great set of photos and good man for taking the cerb out in less than sunny conditions :clap:

I love the editing on the first few, The car really pops
 
Honestly - apart from taking the green level down just slightly, there's not much processing done on the first pics. It really was that cold. I knocked the green down on the grass as it was just slightly distracting. There's a -0.2 exposure gradient applied from the top to the car just to knock the over exposed sky down a little.

The moving shot has had the hedge edited. The hedge wasn't that high and there was a distracting blured house in the background so I brought the hedge up higher which helped the pic.
