Car Photo of the Day: Hits and Misses

Filed under: Car Photo Of The Day,Cars,Photography — chuck goolsbee @ 5:07 pm

This one is a “miss”. Blurry. Lens flare. Vignetted. Car cropped wrong.

I was attempting one of my low-angle “hero shots” while we passed this Series 1 E-type coupe. I missed. I usually delete failed photos like this one but I saved it for one, and only one redeeming quality, which has nothing to do with the car, but instead something about photography… or maybe more about the photographer. Can you spot it?

  1. A) I don’t think it’s a miss, at all. It imparts motion and fluidity, essential elements of good action car photography. A slight crop to eliminate the vignetting, and voila! I think it’s a good, if not great, foto.

    B)My guess as to why you saved it, is 65E’s reflection in the lower flank of the *prettier* coupe. It shows precisely how nuckin’ futz you are,mdoor flung, open arm hangin’ out. Certifiable, ye is!
