  1. did you get permission photograph my cars…;)

    1. LoL – I didn’t think anyone owned them – half of them are parked like they’ve been abandoned 😉

      1. I’m gonna have a word with that new chauffeur..hheee! nice post..;)

      2. You just can’t get the staff these days 😉 Thanks Gerry 🙂

  2. Love this post. When I was a kid, my dream job was to be a cab-driver, so that my job would permit me to drive 24×7. Although the dream job got replaced with something else, but the love for cars is still the same. It’s a different thing that I do not have my own car and also I do not know how to drive. 🙂

    1. I can’t picture what learning to drive would be like in Mumbai or Kolkata – I’ve seen plenty of film of the traffic in those cities on tv! I’m sure you will learn when you have the need to learn 🙂 Of course, my dream job when I was a child was to be a train driver. Sadly, when I went to work I opted for the better pay of Telecommunications. If I had followed my dream I’d be earning up to £20,000 more a year now (pre-tax) but I’d also have all the anti-social hours and other issues. Money isn’t everything 😉

      Glad you enjoyed the post 🙂

  3. Nice cars, and nice effect. I especially like the effect on the Anglia which makes it look like a magazine illustration from the 50’s.

    1. Thanks Binky. The Anglia was Cream but the effect of the HDR conversion has been to make it look almost like gold. It’s clearly someone’s pride and joy 🙂

  4. Shiny!
    But… no Pinto?! 😉

    1. LoL – No Pinto… don’t think they were imported into the UK due to EU safety requirements – exploding cars are only acceptable if due to terrorist/military action rather than a standard RTA 😉 I have got a shot of a soft-top Mustang but it wasn’t in my HDR conversions.

  5. Some great effects on these Martin. The car in the black & white shot looks like it’s made of chrome. That’s my favourite, very nice car

    1. Thanks Tony – I quite like those Maserati’s. Sadly, my wallet would only just stretch to a 1/48th scale model at a pinch 😉

  6. I think the yellow jobbie is winking at me —
    He probably does it to all the girls!

  7. Wonderful use of HDR! You creatred a nice effect that brings out the character of this automobiles without screaming “special effects!” Thanks!

    1. Thank you Doug for your kind comment 🙂
