whole car: long opening of the lens

Simply stunning - both car & arts!!!

Steven,

Very arty photographs,

Now be honest your trying to rent the car out for the opening scene of a Belgium horror movie and in the next shot a bunch of zombies are running out of the woods.

wow loving the photos! especially the one of the lights

Steven, I'm sorry but I'm going to go out on my own and say that in the first picture, I actually feel the photographer has managed to make the Aeromax look unattractive - this is actually an accomplishment as it is the first time I've thought that.

The angle give a perspective that throws the proportions off and leaves the front end looking too thin and waif-like, when compared to what appears to be an overly ample rump.

I see your point, and agree,
but then you looked as an A'max-owner,
everybody else is stunnend by the light-effects,
and the body continuing under the rear-end

also I should change the F-setting to get better results

think it won't be the last night out with maxie for shooting piccies

The ambiance and lighting effects are excellent (I love the glow on the ground from the rear lights and the way the trees look like they are actually in daylight), it is simply the angle that I don't warm to. Personal preference and I like that you are trying to capture different images of the car.

think on a summer-night,
PJH and I will have a go, bringing pc with us to adjust on the spot

Steven,
I suspect you are going to send the hit squad to South Wales after this but I'm somewhat of the same opinion as Simon regarding the first photo.
It looks out of proportion and the overall balance and 'flow' of the A-Max lines is lost.On the other hand, I'm not the most artistic person in the World, so it may be that I am missing something here

Apologies because I really am a fan of the way the car looks

No car, or woman for that matter, if I might be so bold....looks good from every angle.
In this first shot, the view 'up the valley' between the wing and bonnet is the thinnest part of the outline, and is in the distance, so affected by perspective. The angle of the front wheel makes it look like a dragster front wheel, which also fools the brain with the perspective. That photo taken in daylight with the front wheels straight would look better....... I think.......

The Trad shape is very dependant on the width of the wings. Before I had 'the Trad' sussed, I couldn't understand why some looked great in photos, and others didn't. In my view, a lot also depends on the type of hood fitted, and I particularly like the easy up factory oblong rear window. I don't particularly like the three windows, the oval single window, and the odd shaped hardtop window.
Eye of the beholder eh?
