VW at the beach

[impaul]

These are my first attempts at taking pics of my VW with a DSLR. It was a bleak day down at Boscombe pier a few days ago.

They are also the first pics i've ever put on talk photography!

I know the light is rubbish but there's never any surf when the suns out!

I yried to make it look a bit lighter in this one

Not sure why i left the door open in this one?

Loving the van On day I shall have one, one day....

Shoots? Your right a bit dark and I think the raming would have been a little better if you had stepped to the left whilst keeping the front end in shot and missing all the parked cars behind??

They could all do with some more light, but hey... this is the UK after all

I think you'd have been better reversing the van into the space, then you'd have had the sea & beach as a backdrop, rather than a takeaway, either that or parking sideways across 2 spaces to give yourself a bit of space.

Yeah, i guess i wasn't really thinking about taking the pictures when i parked, but i had all the space in the world to park sideways :bonk:

always the way mate, I always think of good stuff that I could've done... about 20 minutes after I've left

They're a good start though, well worth revisiting

I love these vans!

Yours is absolutely stunning!!

I so want to get my hands on one and get snapping... such a fantastic subject matter!!


Good start, as mentioned above! Although, I can't help but want to see it on the beach if possible!

Please do more! Can't wait to see more of this VW1

Great looking van though - just made for the beach and surfing

Thanks guys, unfortunately im away working in Reading at the moment and the bus has to stay behind in Bournemouth I'll take some more pics of my adventures in her next time im back. Not sure i'd get away with driving onto Bournemouth beach though!

Or pushing it back out when it gets stuck....

What a lovely van, in cracking nick

I'd have been tempted to use a mich narrower Depth of Field, resulting in a blurred background, as (esp in 3) the surrounding intrude, making the composition a little busy.

I hope you take more of this fine beast, there is loads of potential
