1951 Jaguar Mark V Drophead Coupe

I would like to share this beautiful 1951 Jaguar Mark V Drophead Coupe.
For me this car shows car design at its best. Style, luxury, class, craftsmanship, machine power and speed all in one artwork on wheels.

This is a an 10 exposure shot using the FDL Technique.
Shot at Gallery Aaldering

Agree, Thomas! A beautiful, fat, rakishly elegant machine. Make mine a FHC, thanks.

Interesting images you post with the FDL technique - the gloss all becomes satin finish (satin chrome definitely not 1951-cool!) but as you point out, the trade-off benefit is the explicit portrayal of all those voluptuous curves that leave us petrol-heads drooling. You do it very well, and your composition and editing are always spot-on.

A nice change from Epic Iceland on FS...

Well said!!! Thank you!

The image matches the same excellence.

Hi Thomas. FDL is new word for me. Please share more about it if you may. thanks.

Hi Vijay. In short:
'Focused Diffused Lighting'
For this shot I used a standard speedlight with a beautydish and shot this through a couple of diffusion layers; milky diffuser cloth on the beautydish and also a standard white diffuser panel. By shooting at a high shutter speed the background is black and you can focus the light on a selected area on the car. And by this I mean just the reflection of this softened light on the car.

Hi Thomas. Thanks a ton for sharing. Can I summarize this image as outcome of (1) Softened light on various parts at higher shutter speed (2) multiple exposures (3) composited together (4) post processed for BW (5) Given effects.

Absolutely appreciate your photographic creativity and skills for such superb work. Gradient and higher contrast expresses the richness of this car. car design, shape and finally the emblem enhances the same.

thanks again.

Something like that. Thank you!

These is perfection! i love the shoot!

Thank you so much Silviu!
