Classic Landie

Rough Edges · 16 Jul 2010

Was asked if I would like to shoot a classic Land Rover the other day and jumped at it..

Both have had some small tweaks in PS.

This one had some light painting and ND grads were used through out.

Nice shots, i think the second is just a tad dark but that could be my monitor..

Btw, you missed the 'classic' shot of a Lawn Rover.......... With the bonnet up... :LOL:

Man, I love those rovers. Loving the first shot btw.

It isn't a 'classic' it's a series 3, but thats just me being picky! :razz:

I have a series 2a 109 from 1963 currently in many pieces being restored.

Anyway, good shots but I feel the second one is a tad too dark.

Prefer the first one.

But "classic"?
Only as it's a leafer and not on coils.
If you'd had bonnet open, rivet counters would appear from the woods. :LOL:

I think of the Series 1 as The Classic LR.

But then I own a Willys Jeep.

I do think the shots are a bit too dark, and I like dark.

1st image is most excellent.

I would love a short wheelbase 3.5V8!!!!!

Thanks folks for all you comments, it may not be a proper classic, Not quite the early series one..... but was an everyday vehicle and was used for green laning too...

Having owned a 90 V8 County, yes they are great fun but
if you go out and play off road...single figures per gallon

I'd say it's the right shape, but not a classic for me. It's too new, despite being the same as a '72 series. Saying that my Imp is a '76...

Image wise the second looks a wee dark here too, but I like the first.

I honestly wish I'd not made my 'not a classic' comment - I was just jokingly splitting hairs. People - stop discussing your opinions of what constitutes a classic landrover please! Give the guy some proper crit/advice if he wants it. :nono:

OP - I am sorry, didn't mean for it to go this way!

You wouldn't we have a Long wheel base and it is very thirsty !!! :LOL:

LOL.. like any thread they do wander a bit.... No worries.. I would say personally anything over 25 years constitues as a classic and cars as little as 15 years are now being consdered officially as classic... Hmmm...

Now the second of these images was very dark and moody looking and I brightened it up. Even though I had a ruddy great torch on it

:bonk: I look forward to trying again with the old girl...
