Scirocco Central

Hi guys, here are a few pics of my new pride and joy. Some taken at the Severn Bridge, others next to a reservoir and some on the moors. More can be found at http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/polts23/S ... directlink

I sure enjoyed driving to the locations and back - what a car.

Cheers

Fantastic photography skills!

Which camera did you use I'm guessing it was an SLR, ace exposure (photoshop too) it really shows the colour

Cracking pictures of a very nice car, No4 is an absolute peach...

Cheers guys.

CTRnutter, yes SLR. It's a Nikon D300 with various lenses and a bit of off-camera flash here and there.

poltz23 amazing shots, where is that road in no4, i ask as the clan are from aberdare way

I have a Canon 400D very amateur compared to yourself! but it gets the job done, look forward to seeing more of your pics in the future

The 400D is a fine camera. SLR gives you amazing flexibility and control over the shot - just get stuck in!

Andy, the road is on the moors between Llangynidr and Ebbw Vale, not a bad road to drive either! It's next to the A465 Heads of the Valleys road, it's not a million miles from Aberdare (16 miles in fact!)

amazing shots the second to last picture looks like your bumper is off colour, is it? or is it just the camera thats making it look like it is?

Very nice pics mate!

Now that's what I call a proper driving road!!

Is that the same road Top Gear took the Merc CLK Black Edition to?

Road is shown 2mins into the vid

excellent photos! had a look on amazon and yes, the nikon D300 is most definitely out of my price range!!

Ryan, it's just the way the light caught it, thankfully!

Just watched the vid, the road looks very similar (very well spotted that man), but I think that one in the vid is more towards Brecon, very similar terrain, brilliant roads around there. The one in my shot is only a few miles long, no cafe etc.

Damn you certainly know how to make quality shots, just looked at another on Picasa - the only night time shot (photo 7) - you could easily make your own wallpapers!!

poltz know the heads of the valleys very well, i'll have to remember that road next time i'm up that way, almost tempted to a do a detour on my way back from cardiff tomorrow to see it

Great pics, red roccos are the new white!

Amazing photos!

Simply stunning!

Polts - Is that the road out from Blackwood to the A465? That is some road too if it isnt the one you are on about. If no traffic gets in your way its superb! Just watch the sheep lol!

Cheers guys.

Blackroc, no it's just north of the A465 at Ebbw Vale, but similar to the one out of Blackwood. Damn right about the sheep!!!!
