Oh and thats what you call a proper RS500!!!!!
Thanks FlashNot keen on numbers 1 + 2, the lighting is too harsh and number 4, that's either a lamppost or a very big aerial......
I like numbers 3,5 and 6 though
Thank you.nice set one off my all time fave cars....
Ah, glad you like them haha .All rubbish
Thanks, It's pretty clean for the mileage, still even has all the original windows, even the windscreen.Nice set, no 10 works best for me. Its a well kept motor that ay
Thanks.#10 for me too, but all great pics of automotive porn!
Thanks Gary.This was my poster card from the eighties..............
Not so keen of the earlier shots, but do like 10 and 12 - i like the lighting effect on the paintwork.
Not bad for a twenty odd year old car!
Gary
Thanks KiwiSome corkers in there for sure. Loving number 12. The low stance you shot it at makes it look mean.
I like the way you have shot half of it in number 7 but would have preferred a better backdrop than the fence.
Awesome set mate. Darth Vader would be very happy with that Cosworth!
#10 and 12 for me - lovely aggresive stance accentuated by the composition.
Oh and thats what you call a proper RS500!!!!!
Thanks Wilko.A Proper RS built by Ford. Thankyou for sharing them with us
Thanks Luke, I thought this type of location would suit the RS500 well. I'd say that choosing a location is the hardest part of automotive photography.Not sure on the location mate...I think I find it hard to take to shoots of old cars, as legendary and rare as this one may be
Can't honestly offer how I would make it any better though, like I said, maybe a diff location?
Thanks,
Luke
Thanks, What angle am I missing?Nice set mate, interesting locations.
Can't help thinking you've missed an angle
Mick
ThanksGreat car and lovely photos.
ThanksNice Cossie!
Thank you.#3 for me I think, cracking set mind. Not a bad looking example for the miles. I reckon you've done the old girl justice though
Cheer PeachThat rolling shot and number 11 are MMMAAAAAAADDDDD lovelovelovelove massive car nut here lovely jubbly!
Thank you.Some stunning shots in there
And what a GORGEOUS car
I've always wanted one of them...........
Lol, thank you.My thoughts exactly,none of this aftermarket mocked up BS like those Focuses! (excuse the rant but I'm a blue oval purist I'm afraid)
Nice shots by the way.
I would sell limbs to own one aswell :nod:A great set overall - I would have sold limbs for one of those 15-20 years ago, although I was lucky enough to have driven one once....
Thanks, I don't think they are that good yet but I will get to that standard.3, 10 and 11 for me
A couple of those look like they could have been on the sales brochure.
I'm the same as DekHog and would have sold body parts for one of those (probably still would now)
Thanks for the crit.12 is absolutley stunning. My only crit would be that it seems a little "lop sided" with the girder on the left, and nothing to balance it on the right, but that's just in my mind - might actually look odd with one on each side!
The whole set is great, and an awesome subject
I had a Lamborghini Countach on my wall under the San Fransisco Bridgewould still look good printed out and on a teenagers wall lol
It's not a track or rally car.
Am I reading this right???
What do you mean by 'grimy'? Not heard that term before.Im afraid there's something not quiet on the money for me. However they do have something, 3 & 11 are a bit more dynamic& are the best for me. It's not a track or rally car, the street is where it would look 'right'. Some how though the background's not just got it. Also it's been said before Black cars are best either gleaming or mucky. Some of these look 'grimy' Just MHO, not far off right, but not there.
Thanks Snapper, really appreciate that buddy.3, 10, 11, and 13 for the win...
I like how your coming along Dal, some stong images within this set. The location does'nt bother me as much as others.
Yes you are reading it right. The car I photographed IS a street car NOT a trackcar, BTCC car, or a Rally car so his comments are correct.Am I reading this right???
I guess so :shrug:
Interesting statement considering this car (not in the literal sense) spent many a happy time competing in the BTCC and Lombard RAC rally.
As such I think it would look right with many a background
I mean it's a 'street car' rather than the full 'motor sport item' - still not explaining this well ! (not covered in ads, with cage etc) If it were, it could be pictured sliding around a 'track' & look more at home.
A bit like the Audi in Ashes to Ashes, where there were some impressive images of it in an urban environment. (it looked at home)
Maybe it's showing it's age, the paint just not gleaming. (a bit grimy -mucky?) Please don't misunderstand, I like the car, just somehow the pics don't wow me. Frustratingly they're not far off & Im struggling to see what would do it for me other than the points I observed. Hey ho, I've various pics of cars I wouldn't post not because they're bad, just not a wow, nothing not seen before.
