Great car on a bit of a grey day.

A great old car very well captured. The soft light has helped the image.

I like Mark's selection of the wide angle lens, and close in, stopped down, to accentuate the "speeding locomotive " look that the car stylists probably intended in the day.
Note how the radiator grille and front wheel are relatively larger than the body.

Thank you! I only had the kit lens with me, and it helped to get in close to cut out all the many people around.

Nice composition. I think the only disappointment is the washed out colours - some of which comes from the grey sky, but some from the 18-55 lens - at least that is the problem I have with it. Bit of a love hate relationship since it is my only lens wider than 28mm.

I've not had issues with colour with this lens. In this case, the grey day did not help. See this photo from the same day, same lens, where I think the colour is much better. https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/12-post-your-photos/280476-machinery-mass...ml#post3046358

Ouch! Well, I think car design went for a loop in the '70's.

Thanks for pointing out this image. Nice reds, but to me the yellows and greens lack pop. Not saying the lens is bad, just that is has its muted tones that I find sometimes take away from an image. I have a similar view of the F35-70, but there the problem is usually fixed by bumping up the contrast a little.

Thanks - I best have a play with my 35-70.

In a day when cars still had style, well seen and captured.
