We were invited back to the Bedford Embankment cruise by Bob 1 and Bob 2 :-) Good shout lads, many thanks! They turned up this month with their "other" vehicle (like one is not enough?) finished in the low profile EasyJet colour scheme! A real tangerine dream if ever there was one. Accordingly, we began with this vehicle and as they took one of our favorite poster prints off us last time, we spent some time trying to capture this one in this briliant setting to tempt them again! The long portrait shots with green trees, blue sky, bright moon and the tracks of the flies around the uplighters are my personal faves. But if its an arty shot you prefer then the town bridge over the rear end with a starburst on the door mirror should appeal to you maybe :-)

There was some brilliant paint on display providing some excellent reflections of the leafy and colourful setting. Some of the creases in the panels, under a typical sky, would be lost but not here. The VW is a great example of this. The reflection in the door panel of the Blue/Silver Ford Pop is pretty good for 10 o'clock at night :-)

We also captured some "ghosting" as people got in the vehicle, walked past or as the vehicles moved away. Not everyones cup of tea but we try to show the subjects in different ways other than run-of-the-mill stills of course. I am very happy with the "magazine" style shot of the rear end of the Thunderbird with the two guys looking across as they walk past. It almost looks staged!

Some of the images I have duplicated with special graphic effects as I like to see what technology can do to change the appearance of the subject. Oh yes! And unlike last month when Love Mae was asleep in the truck as I busied myself around the vehicles, she was suitably impressed to want to stay awake and take a few of these shots as well. However, she did end up like most others there and talked most of the time!

As before, if you would like any of these images on disc or in the form of a 20" x 30" awesome print, drop us an email at info@clevercaptures.com and we can sort this for you. We did bring down a sample poster and we are pleased to say that was snapped up by the vehicle owner :-) We are so happy that you enjoy looking at our images as much as we enjoy capturing them! Many thanks one and all :-)

ENJOY!

Peter & Love Mae
