Just wondered what people thought of this shot I've taken of an Austin A30 currently sat in my garage?

I like it too. It has a kind of dark look to it (dark as in evil) - in a good way... and it's probably just me but the headlights, grill and bumper make a face a bit like a troll...

Nice one

Perhaps I've been influenced by John Carpenter's Christine!

Maybe - but in a good way! A very English version, using an Austin. Very cool!

I like it too but at first sight it doesn't look quite level?

And there I was thinking it was Stephen King's Christine .
Read the book not seen the movie.

I like the photo.
My brother had one for a while as a spotty yoof. It had severe tinworm though .

I agree with Mike, its not quite level

I like it. I thinks its something to do with the horizontal perspective that is making it look not quite level.

Good shot nevertheless, what colour is the car? It looks beige or similar on my monitor.

Gwyn - very true; I had forgotten it was a Stephen King book before the film!


I think the front bumper droops to the left slighty, giving the impression the car is not level. It is beige in colour.

Sadly, the car is not mine; it belongs to a local car museum. My father in law is restoring it for them, and I've donated my garage space to the project (gives me an opportunity of shots like this!).

Top shot Bob, lots of character. Be prepared with a very large black ink cartridge before printing this in A3!

That's a great shot Bob. Great light, and love the perspective. Perhaps crop some off the bottom? Would like to see it bigger

Very nice. Think you should skew it, to correct the 'droop', even if it is technically correct.

Love the shot, looks meaner than in real life
