The auto industry has been hit hard and solutions are being sought in smaller, cheaper models. Rumour has it that Ford is bringing out something called the Model T.

Nice! I like this shot a lot!

Nice conversion too.

How did you get the graduation on the reflective surface?

Thanks Andy. I was using my external flash to bounce light off the ceiling. The angle of my camera and the inability to direct the light exactly where I wanted meant that I could only light either the top or the lower part of the image. The result is not unpleasing though so I stuck with this version. Cheers.

Quite the opposite from unpleasing, it's great! It just adds something to it. I guess you were going for high-key? I don't think it would be as good if you did. The graduation just adds something IMHO.

Best of luck

Now that's what I call original thinking, It's probably the new 883. Go Harley go.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.
