stuny Posted July 17, 2008 Share #1 Posted July 17, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) The Audi showroom had the R8 (named after a Leica product no doubt, much to the consternation of their Canon sponsor) on a turntable in front of a backdrop of the Park Avenue overpass to get around Grand Central. At this angle I thought the tableau looked like an illustration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

echorec Posted July 21, 2008 Share #2 Posted July 21, 2008 Beautiful shot, looks a bit like an airbrushed product photo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elansprint72 Posted July 21, 2008 Share #3 Posted July 21, 2008 Beautiful shot, looks a bit like an airbrushed product photo. Yea, looks like a studio shot, please don't tell me that you snapped this through a glass window with a toy camera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzo Posted July 21, 2008 Share #4 Posted July 21, 2008 Did you show this image to the Audi showroom owners ? Stuart, I would if I were you. This is seriously good. Well done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share #6 Posted July 22, 2008 Pete - Thank you. I took it with my Mickey Mouse 620 camera (you look thorugh a hole in Mickey's head, click the shutter in the left eye by sticking your finger in his right ear), all through the plate glass window. Actually not. I was in the showroom, but using my Pana version of the C-Lux, which some will say is a toy camera. Gunnar & Tom - Thank you. Ivan - Thank you. I haven't shown it to them yet but plan to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roguewave Posted July 23, 2008 Share #7 Posted July 23, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Stu, fantastic image. You can always tell when something gets a hold on you. Excellent. I love that camera and now my wife has it for herself. I can't even get her to think about the new Lumix that's just been released. "No Thanks!!!!"

stuny Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share #8 Posted July 23, 2008 Ben - Thank you. I was a bit discouraged that few seemed to have looked at this image initially, especially since I thought it was rather nice. And yes, our little P&S gems are wonderful if used within their limitations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted August 11, 2008 Share #9 Posted August 11, 2008 This is a beautiful clinically clean image which would hold its own in any company or application. I know little about the car but you have certainly glamorized it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
topoxforddoc Posted August 11, 2008 Share #10 Posted August 11, 2008 Stu, Lovely shot. Is this one on Barbara's shopping list too. Maybe you could trade a hefty discount for your picture!!! Best wishes, Charlie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share #11 Posted August 11, 2008 David & Charlie - Thank you. I gave a copy of this photo and of the DWK Meister Cabriolet to the people here. The next week I told them our impressions of Barbara's new A5. They gave me a book and a CD. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share #13 Posted August 15, 2008 George - Thank you. I've also been meaning to point out that you've changed your avatar to a much more affordable means of transportation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George James Posted August 15, 2008 Share #14 Posted August 15, 2008 Yes Stuart the Lambo. gave the wrong impression. My actual means of transportation as you can see from my avatar is a Moulton New Series bicycle designed by Dr. Alex Moulton who also designed and engineered the suspension for the original mini motor car.

abrewer Posted August 15, 2008 Share #15 Posted August 15, 2008 Fabulous color and composition of the shot Stuart The only small point I'd make is on focal point: I think you've picked the number on the side of the car (which is fine) but my personal choice usually is the wheel or lightcasing nearest me when I shoot To my eye it just looks a bit soft in the front where I would prefer to have great detail, and it's simply the shortcoming of light and lens in this setting These cars are something to behold in the flesh: spooky quiet with only a whoosh of wind as they go racing by Some kind of accomplishment by Audi what they've done with their racing R8 (and just as well with the road-going car of the same name!)

stuny Posted August 16, 2008 Author Share #16 Posted August 16, 2008 Allan - It's really good to see you back and know you are well. I'm no doubt only one of many looking forward to seeing your latest photos of the Brickyard, the university, even merridian. Thank you, and you're right. I gave it no thought since I was using my PanaLieca P&S. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biglouis Posted August 16, 2008 Share #17 Posted August 16, 2008 Stuart Beautiful car and beautifully shot. Lighting, angle and sharpness are all terrific. Could easily be in a brochure or made into a poster. LouisB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
