Thanks Ember. Without feedback, it's impossible to learn. Certainly I am eyeballing it and will get better in time. The most scientific approach would be to use a pair of Kellison sticks to set the perspective perfectly.

Like that one.

Just needs some cobwebs and dust and it's perfect.

Love the pics from Tamworth, especially the old car dealership on Addington Street. Your pictures bring old town settings alive again. Love your whole way of setting up these shots. That head shadow you pointed out could just be cropped, eh?

[whitworthnut]

Thanks Retro. Yes in some cases I had to photoshop the shadow. Not a big deal. Don't tell me you are from Tamworth.

Haha! Caught you, eh? No actually I'm from Toronto, but I know Ontario pretty well and know Google Street View even better. It wasn't that hard to find the street and the buildings you photographed. It does look better with the Ford shadow on it though.

Cheers.

Picked up an already built white kit Spirit Peugeot...threw some black paint on it, a little weight in the front, and boy, does this thing ever go!

Nice job Doug.

[Ember]

I like the black on black. Not sure about the orange wiper arm though. :)

[fotodoug]

The wiper arm is just overexposed...it's red like the light covers.

[Ember]

OK. I thought the wiper arm and headlight covers were dayglo orange.
