Spoiler edge

Had a run over to the car show at Tatton this afternoon - thanks for the alternative directions Pete.

 

As well as lots of classic cars there were quite a few modern ones too. Sorry to relate, but I can't remember what make this is from. It's the edge of a rear spoiler. I focussed on the screw to the left and shot more or less wide open.

 

The car was a light metalic colour, so I decided to convert to b&w to try and emphasise this.

 

Hope it's not too Autotrader, or too plastic :-)

Ha! Someone who knows how to use DoF in car shots- not that one can tell this is a car.

 

I like the treatment you have given this Steve.

 

Glad the directions worked out, we we getting soaked on the Welsh coast whilst you were taking this!

 

Cheers,

Pete.

Thanks Pete, the centre of Knutsford was closed for resurfacing, but I managed to bust it :-)

 

The weather wasn't too good at Tatton either, overcast nearly all the time with showers.

Just a couple of technical criticisms...

 

The hard-radiused edges of the spoiler are not at all aerodynamic and would never fly in competition. Also, the exposed screw-heads and indents are a poor substitute for properly welded seams on the inside of the wing, or at the very least demand a substantial helicopter-taping to make flush.

 

Oh!

 

I thought this was the Car Forum!!!!

 

 

Beautifully done, Steve. It's a delight to see you venture into this genre. We're all the better for your efforts, I'm sure.

 

Thanks.
