    Concours D'elegance Paleis het Loo

    As you guys might know,i was on the same concours as the one featured right now. These are my pictures. In the next couple of week i will upload them. It might take some time,but it is worth it In total i took over 300 pictures. I have marked all the pictures(anti-theft) and reduced the quality to fit the size limit. The resolution remained the same.

    Enjoy,
    S.

    #1,2 and 3 = Ferrari 250 GTL
    #4,5 and 6 = Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint

    Most your angles don't really work with the car's lines. Bend your knees a little to get a better prespective on the car too.

    nice in theory, but the whites ropes and the way the cars were parked sometimes made shooting a tat complicated...I am personally not so happy with the UCP report either...

    Can you please name the cars? (the UCP coverage could give you some clues, and in case of doubt, ask me). If you need to know what a car is with a Dutch license plate, check on the site of the Rijksdienst voor het Wegverkeer, you check on APK date....

    Lesson one: Always rename your pics, or open a directory with the name of the specific car in case you have many pics...It will greatly help you to keep organised.

    When I've been at shows, I just remove the ropes and lay them on the ground.
    I'm going to eat breakfast. And then I'm going to change the world.

    if you look on the bonnet of the Bentley ? (post #6) you will see what it is....there is a nice sign. Next lesson, always take a picture of the identification plate if present....
