lambroving Posted August 14, 2006 Share #1 Posted August 14, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) A German from Munich bought this car as a bag of bits in France and spent a fortune lovingly restoring it. At least he received his reward. It really WAS superb, much better than new. MP .58, 35/2 ASPH, f4.8@125th, 100UC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

meatboy Posted August 14, 2006 Share #2 Posted August 14, 2006 I am often amazed at the patience some car restorers have. William, what scanner do you use? Thanks Tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambroving Posted August 14, 2006 Author Share #3 Posted August 14, 2006 Tim, These are commercial hi-res. scans from a large Agfa processor. They usually require little manipulation if the operator is attentive, which is a good thing since my PS skills are very limited. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrewer Posted August 14, 2006 Share #4 Posted August 14, 2006 Beautiful natural colors William. You certainly know how to get the best from your film, regardless of brand or speed. Why did you decide on the angled composition? Was it to get everything in or just for some variety? Curious, is all. Thanks for sharing.

fotografr Posted August 14, 2006 Share #5 Posted August 14, 2006 "Why did you decide on the angled composition?" Allan--It wasn't intentional. This was after several pints. ;-)) At the risk of starting the digital vs film war, I must say that in my opinion, the image quality of this--and all of William's posts--is always among the best shown in this forum. The detail is exceptional, the colors are bright and true, the depth and texture superb. Considering that this is all accomplished using film, I think this tells us something.

lambroving Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share #6 Posted August 15, 2006 Allan, The purpose of my visit was Morgans and things Morgan and photography was mainly secondary as I was also chauffeur. Ron did most of the shooting. This venue was not at all photography-friendly as there were far too many people milling about. Ron resorted to his 75/2 mainly to capture details. On the Sunday I had brought only the MP .58 & 35/2 combo because I didn't want to be weighted down. This car was with about 10 concours winners and drew hoards. I came back several times to shoot it and finally waited several minutes for people looking at the adjacent car to move. Nothing would move them, so I took a chance with this angle to exclude them and shot one frame. Nothing too "artsy-fartsy" intended. Do you like the shot? BTW, I sent Brent another shot which I've not posted and I believe his comment applies particularly to that one. I'll post it over the weekend. If that one doesn't "rock your sox", I give up! Brent, Thanks for the comments. I miss the textures with most digital shots. God help me if my local processor ever retires! BTW, no pints this early. We had the pints later here... The Leica Users Gallery :: MOG 2006 :: LUG245 You can see Ron chatting to the landlady about the menu. THIS is a real pub in Swithland near Quorn. The 4/4 is parked next to a TR-6. Funny how the Brits love open cars in a country where it rains so much of the year. On the other hand, that must be the reason! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
