A car pic for a change.

Still surprised by the quality you can get out of this little 350d!!

[edit] removed full size pic, as worried i'll go over my bandwidth allowance

...and that's cropped a little bit too.

I like that - very moody and a good contrast between the car and the tatty shopfront.

me too, not only that but it's another example showing that the kit lens is not as bad as some people would have you believe.

Very Good David.
The moody sky adds a bit of drama to the shot.

Did you know a car reflecting light from its paintwork can fool the AF/metering systems on a camera?

Yeah, heard that before somewhere as well. It was focused manually tho... car was parked... cam on a tripod... if I used AF i'd be the laziest man alive :lol:

Oooh I like that. I really like that.

Matty · 03-05-2005, 19:38

IanC_UK · 03-05-2005, 19:56

There's a few more Mondeos on here if you ask! :wink:

Matty · 04-05-2005, 11:14

lol aye, plenty, shame some of them dont post, Scoff and Percy both have a lot of cool shots they could share

The thing I like about this pic is it's pretty well just three colours.

I had a tussle yesterday morning with a Mondeo ST something or other thingy. It was pretty rapido. :lol:

It may be of interest to you, so I'll post a link to a thread about this pic that's going in the Mondeo ENthusiast Group forums. As I've posted a pic of the RAW file with nothing done to it, as someone asked if it's been excessively photoshopped.. which it hasn't.

Link is

The link leads to a Microsoft Direct X download page. :?

I must admit, I wondered if parts of it had been converted to grey scale, or rather.....de-saturated Who cares anyway, it's a great pic. 8)

Weird.. it works here... i'll try it this way then

That's what's in my browser window.

Nothing was converted to greyscale... Just pressed ctrl+b and dialled out about 3 blue to get the sky neutral, as it looked a bit blue in the RAW.. I think the headlights confused the camera's auto white balance.

[edit].. I tell a lie... the side repeater indicator was... :lol: Almost forgot about that. I have a set of smoked ones waiting to be fitted to teh car, but I'm scared of scratching my paint... 'cos I'm a big girl.
