You could have just taken a few steps back so the car wasn't at the corner of the frame and being distorted

So, finally bought a Z4 (35iS)

Not a great pic, will try and get some better ones soon.

Numberplate on the ST looks ridiculous.

Dont see the point in why people do this,remove the number plate and put on a sticker,Same as people removing the numberplate from the front of the car and putting it up on the dash..WHY

Would a traffic camera even pick up that sticker/plate

It can aid airflow on some cars, but it looks like the upper portion of the grill might be solid anyway.

I believe traffic cameras only read the rear number plate anyway.

I did but that one has vanished

Both cars are tucked up for winter now after a good clean, but took a couple of photos the other weekend. Still love the interiors of both cars when they're cleaned up:

Few in the fog:

Stunning pics and cars! What location did you take the pics? I like the last one with the old school diner in the background

What do you drive while they are tucked up for the winter ? :eek:

pepp77 · 13 Nov 2016 at 20:12

The tree pics look like Greenwich Park. I think the diner is in docklands.

NickXX · 13 Nov 2016 at 20:36

Yup- it's Greenwich Park and Trinity Quay Wharf. I don't drive much day to day- so use my gf's Mini during the winter if I need a car.

Did a bit of off roading in my cousins' RS6 and we thought we'd clean it up before he got back as a thank you for letting us average 2MPG in it

I'm not claiming to be a photographic expert or a pro valeter(?) but it scrubs up nice either way; before:

after

P.S. not remotely precious about the numberplate on here, but we also shared this on a farming website frequented by ****** so we thought we'd do our best to remain as anonymous as poss

Jumper118 · 14 Nov 2016 at 18:28

did you take those pics with a gopro or did a fish jump out the sea and put its eye balls on you lens?

[TW]Fox · 14 Nov 2016 at 18:35

All those photos and not a single one actually shows the car properly.

When will the fad of taking ridiculously arty photos just go away so we can all enjoy looking at cars again?

Will Gill · 14 Nov 2016 at 18:39

Hehe, it's parked outside my house right now, lemme know what you want to see photos of

Tis not a fish eye lens, ultrawide 14-24

shifty_uk · 14 Nov 2016 at 18:52

Lovely Gill. Sorta agree with Fox, let's see that beast from some decent angles

Akagi · 14 Nov 2016 at 18:57

Just normal 3/4 angles, side on, from the front from a slightly elevated position, etc. yknow...

Will Gill · 14 Nov 2016 at 19:02

Where is the fun in that?

Akagi · 14 Nov 2016 at 19:05

In fairness, picture #9 is alright.

Joe T · 14 Nov 2016 at 20:27

I cant believe Fox is criticising someone else's photography!

[TW]Fox · 14 Nov 2016 at 20:29

I think the difference I'm just terrible with a camera, Will Gill actively set out to take photographs that bad

T0pPredator · 14 Nov 2016 at 21:46

For my first ever attempt at light-painting a car I'm pretty pleased! A lot of room for improvement though..

Anyone else got any experience of doing this? Hints and tips welcome.
