The Flying B

I came upon this elderly Bentley quietly snoozing in a side street in Belgravia in London. I tried not to disturb it while I took its picture and it didn't seem to mind what I was doing - being a Bentley it was probably used to a bit of fuss and attention from time to time, and it slumbered gently on.

 

Thanks for looking and comments are welcomed.

Pete,

 

I try that shot every other week and have never pulled it off as well as you have with this image.

 

Looking again, have you got a higher than usual vantage point ? You seem to be more on top of the car. At just 6 ft, I don't seem to get over it quite the same.

 

Respect.

What makes this shot for me is that the buildings reflected are not ultra-modern. This has a superb timeless quality. I'm not being funny when I say that it looks like the sort of shot I would approach the company with and offer them.

 

Regards,

 

Bill

To Everyone: thank you for the encouraging comments - they really do help!

 

Allan: I have some more, which I shall post.

 

Rolo: I leaned over the car as far as I could without touching it and ... "ker-chick". I'm short for my height, around 5'6", and don't carry a step ladder, although it would come in useful in large crowds. :D

 

Bill: This B was shot in the wild rather than tethered in a showroom - hence the Georgian mansions of Begravia in the reflection. I shall take your suggestion and approach the company to see if there's any interest.

 

Thanks to all again,

Pete.
