Certainly prefer the colour shot.

Nice car............Nice shot...

 

[ChrisF15]

Thank you Mark.

Thanks for the colour shot. One of my favourite cars, although I'd rather have a roadster than a coupé (hence Mrs Nod having a soft top XK8!)

IMO the B&W shot still works but a bit of added grain and maybe contrast to make it look "filmier" might improve the conversion.

 

[ChrisF15]

Thanks Nod for your advice was going to look at doing something with the b&w shot. Your wife's XK8 is another great car.

 

[Nod]

For some reason, Jaguar decided that the XK8 (like the XJS it's based on) isn't a sports car but a GT. Outperforms and handles the E-Type, even if it is left standing on the looks front! Can't say I particularly like the look of the F-Type but I wouldn't say no if someone offered me one as a gift...

defiantly the colour one for me.

Agree ,the colour shot. Good quality shot. I worked with a 21 year old many years ago and his parents gave him a new one of these. Ugh.
