Pretty as a Picture

Postby PaulC1959 » Mon Dec 26, 2011 10:20 am

Some of you may have seen this already but for those who haven’t I thought I would draw your attention to it!

On Piston-heads this week’s Picture of the Week is an Alpine A110 competing in a previous Monte Carlo Rally complete with snow and much tail outieness!!! I know there is no such word but I like it for this, see below,

http://www.pistonheads.com/doc.asp?c=172&i=24932

The picture is downloadable in several sizes for use as a desk top or just to gaze upon.

No not rude words :lol: so please dont moderate me :lol: These old Hassleblad cameras are highly regarded by pro photographers. I believe. They used to use them to produce 2 and a quarter inch transparencies, ideal for producing a large sheets of different shots as they could all be viewed easily at the same time when choosing the best shot for reproduction :wink:

Psn not sure on the correct spelling...i'll just blame the phone :oops: 8)

I.expect someone who knows about photography may correct me my spelling :lol: :lol:

The car shot reminds.me of of watching the rallying on Tv as a child in the 70's ....very very sideways....proper job :lol: :P

Si21 sorry about the boring camer bit ....another useless snipit :oops:

Found this on the internet. I love the French feel of the picture, a typical street scene. Mind you I don't know who the guy is but my money is on Richard Hammond's granddad! LOL

If he's resting his elbow on the roof he must be Hamsters much shorter grand dad :D

Really, the guy must be all of 4ft tall...

Maybe this is an optical illusion, he might actually be leaning on a car parked 15 yards behind the A110? LOL
