Guest Report post Posted August 21 Nicely done. Not every textured overlay would work without detracting from the cars beautiful finish but this one works for me. 1 Share this post Link to post
Clicker 4,369 Report post Posted August 21 Thanks John .... The background was rubbiish so I did a motion blur on a layer and a vintage overlay at just 25% opacity. Oh and I removed the sign on the windscreen .... For those who are interested .... here is the original ... Share this post Link to post
Korky 4,902 Report post Posted August 21 What a piece of kit, eh? If I were to slide into driver's seat, I'd need a small winch to get me out again! A very nice bit of PP work there, suits the subject really nicely. Did you buy it? Korky Share this post Link to post

Denis 1,854 Report post Posted August 22 When I was about 19 I was going out with a girl and our social evenings were spent in our local pub. The landlord said why don't you take her out and I told him she wouldn't ride pillion on my Bonneville. He chucked the keys to his E Type at me and said bugger off somewhere! So we did, and that was the one and only time I ever drove one Share this post Link to post
Clicker 4,369 Report post Posted August 22 What a great story Denis... the question is ... was it the girl or was it the car that sent you pulse racing .....? Share this post Link to post
Hatter 341 Report post Posted August 22 An impressive piece of editing there! I think I had the "Dinky toy" version... many years ago. Share this post Link to post
Clicker 4,369 Report post Posted August 23 Thanks Gareth.... As you can see from the original Photo .... I had to edit and manipulate the image, in my opinion, to allow the beauty of the lines and shape of the car to be shown in a way where there were no distractions ... like fire extinguishers etc . Not everyone agrees with this and I respect that view .... however maybe I should have posted this under manipulated images on reflection.....🤔 Share this post Link to post

The Bonneville came first, the girl a close second as she was a very petite, pretty, blue eyed blond, The E Type ? well lets say I was a bit too young to appreciate it. Too firm a drive, and felt to me to be tail heavy into bends. 1 Share this post Link to post
Clicker 4,369 Report post Posted August 27 I see in yesterday’s press they re going to make the electric version here... to order ...and upgrade existing ETypes for those rich enough to have the cost of a detached house as spare change in their back pocket !!!! Ooops. Just noticed that I’d knocked off a wing mirror during the post processing ... grrrr Share this post Link to post
