Morgan + 8

This is my old man's Morgan +8.

For those that are interested, it has a 4.6 Rover V8 with 275 bhp.

Pics were taken this morning:

Taken with Nikon D70, and various different lenses.

Comments appreciated. Thanks

Nice shots Joe - and nice car. They just lack a little pizzaz if you don't mind me saying - a tad light and wishy washy. Easily sorted though mate - this is just a quick gamma and contrast adjust.

It's obviously a grot day and there's a bit of noise. I tried running it through Noiseware and it's one of those images where you get a smoothing on some areas which looks awful and I'd sooner have the noise, which rather resembles grain anyway, and which I find perfectly acceptable.

Joe - Nice shots favourites for me are the last three. CT's made a cracking job of bringing the cropped shot to life.....

BTW - If that's you driving and these were caught with camera on tripod set to timer

then bloody amazing

Thanks for the comments guys, and the tips CT.

I'm not entirely convinced about what you have done, but I see what you mean about them looking a little falt. I did very little postprocessing on the colours. All I did was convert to TIFF, apply USM and resize.
