Certainly different I'd say:thumb: Just wondering what the first one would look like with the car colours and the rest of the shot in b/w.

Are the two red lights (which I can't seem to take my eye off) a reflection or something on the car itself. Love the Vantage, I see a couple of them around Geneva and they're always spotless and the sound is just great!

ooohhh :D

'specially love the 3rd pic

(maybe consider removing the larger of the 2 red reflections and the white one? look like refletions of brake lights and a reversing light? smaller reflections are fine)

V nice

Hi Guys,

Yes the are reflections. Not had time to take them out of the shot yet. Will be doing so shortly and Sti-Frenchie there will be a version with the car in colour and the rest black and white. Only thing is the car is a graphite grey colour but the reflective colours and rear lights should do the trick.

Dare i say it but that's the car that was dirty rather than the sensor :eek: My mate only had the car for a couple of days. Tough life he has. It was a thank you for some work that he's doing on a magazine. He should be getting a bentley continental gt and a lambo gallardo next week. was due to get a merciallgo (sp) but someone stacked it :eek:

Dave - only bought a £7.99 mount out of maplins so far. Not as sturday as yours but i managed to get these and a few other shots. The suspension is so stiff on the aston that these were shot on about iso 1600 at 1/4 sec. anything less and they were just too blurred.

Did someone mention the noise of it? i nearly wet myself. the noise is just incredible. To give an idea of how loud it was, we took the aston and my scooby out to the esc meet the other night and had a little play on the way home. first 2 years to the shift light. well i could hear the aston over the scooby and i had the windows shut!!!

Gutman pug - which aston is that?

cheers. :thumb:

when i have more time i'll do it a little better. there are some good colours in the background where the hid lights are reflecting. may pic out the yellow of the parking bays or get rid of them altogether. not sure yet. what do you think?

Not sure really, maybe crop out the main overhead lights and work on the rest of the pic? I see what you mean about the colour of the car and b/w. Still,gorgeous piece of machinery eh? :)

the lights are very bleached out so they could go which would make the image a bit better. i may just bring the rear lights in colour?

it is a very nice piece of kit. would love a black one.

What you need to do is add a black and white gradient layer over the top of the colour one then mask and delete the car from the B&W one to have proper black and white with colour.:thumb:

very nice car and some nicely taken shots.

shame the car wasn't a brighter colour as the first picture with colour car and B&W background would have been awesome.
