Lost the love of photography
Ive done very little photography for so long that I was considering selling my kit. I took some photos for the insurance on the cooper S a few weeks back but to be honest camera phones are sufficient these days and literally not used the car for a year. I was asked on Thursday to take some photos of a 1964 MGB roadster that is up for sale at work so I charged the camera’s battery. I believe it was exported to California and brought back to the UK around 10 years ago where it was rebuilt around a new heritage shell. The car has, I think, covered around 1,000 miles since it’s rebuild and is stunning. Once edited I will upload one or two photos. Have I got the photography urge back? Not quite but let’s see how that pans out.....

Totally agree that phones take cracking photo’s but once a photographer then you’ll always be interested. Every hobby or profession falls into that “lost interest phase” but it will always return to bigger and better things.
I’ve been taking photo’s for over 60 years, lost interest once or twice, but the keenness always returns. I’ve just bought another Nikon D5000. Looking forward to your photo’s.

I hope you do Mark.
Camera phones are generally pretty good. Even someone like me can take and edit a decent photo. The difference though when someone like yourself uses proper equipment is like night and day. Keep it up |

Thanks for the comments guys, I’m been looking at a new camera body but that’s not the answer at the moment. I feel the MG shots could of been so much better but it was 10 minutes on the carpark outside of work, it was far too damp to arrange taking it elsewhere which would of made a huge difference.

Looking good from where I'm sitting.
As you say, a different location would have been great but you have done good with what you had to work with I think the only thing I would do is clone that pylon out in a couple of the shots

I agree about the pylon, I missed it just above the roof.

As already said, great shots, and the pylon is easily rectified.
For some reason, I always struggle when taking photos of the back view of cars - I would be more than satisfied with those shots . Cliff Edit: Just looked at the rest of the photos on Flickr - very impressive to say the least! I particularly love the shot of the keys in the ignition .

When I fall out with it, I load up some film and shoot a roll of Ilford on just my OM10 with a 50mm attached.
I find that digital removes some of the construction of an image so I place limitations and challenge myself to do something different. I’d shoot a batch on landscape shots using the 70-200mm for example. |
