Racing fans will have the opportunity to acquire a unique work of art that combines a moment in racing history and an iconic feature of childhood at the Bonhams Goodwood Revival Sale, which takes place this year on Saturday 15 September, 2012. The piece, measuring 6.35m wide by 3.3m tall, represents a life-sized model of […]
I’ve always loved Aston Martins and regard them as one of the few truly iconic British Classic Car marques. Over the years I have had the opportunity to take photographs of several Astons, but the DBR1 is one car that I suspect I will never get to photograph. Not unless I win Lotto next week, […]
The UK’s Daily Mail newspaper reports that Herbie the iconic VW Beetle is up for grabs at an asking price of £96,000. It may look like any old Volkswagen Beetle to some – but this little car was one of the Hollywood stars of its day. With its famous red, white and blue stripes, and […]
After spending several hours last weekend at the Monaro Club Show and Shine, I thought that I’d go back and have a look through some previous photographs of Holden Monaro classic cars. Like many cars I have photographed over the years, this 1976 Holden Monaro HX GTS came through a friend of a friend, and […]
The FE FC Holden Car Club of Victoria celebrated the Club’s 25th anniversary with a Club get together and BBQ at Caribbean Gardens in Scoresby on Sunday 26th August 2012. I was at the venue checking out the Monaros when a very nice FC sedan arrived and I thought it was going to join in […]
We’ve added a few more photographs to our Red Car Collection. As we’ve mentioned before, we think that red cars not only go faster but for some reason they seem to come out better in photographs. For this reason we will be continuing to take photographs of red classic cars and subjecting them to a […]
Sometimes the “conventional” Classic Car Portrait style photograph doesn’t quite convey exactly what the photographer is trying to achieve. In these situations at Classic Car Photographywe take some close up Full Frontal photos of the car in question. We find that our Full Frontal photographs often convey a real sense of power in the vehicle […]
Some time ago we created a special Red Car Collection gallery in our Automotive Artwork category devoted specifically to red cars. Everyone knows that red cars go faster, and we think that they photograph better too. Our Red Car Collection is unlike most of the images that we feature at Classic Car Photography in that […]
Ferrari Classiche recently took delivery of one of the more interesting cars ever to leave the factory – a 275 GTB4 that originally belonged to American star, Steve McQueen who took delivery of the car in San Francisco when he was on the set filming Bullitt. The new owner brought the car to Ferrari Classiche […]
Historic Winton – Motorcycles and Sidecars – is one of the few events where I get to see historic motorcycles and sidecars in action. Obviously the main focus is on historic and classic cars, but it is great to see the bikes and sidecars out on the track as well. I’m not a bike rider […]
There is a lot more to motorsport photography than having a zoom lens and a fast shutter speed. Using a combination of camera settings and technique, I strive to instill the feeling of motion that goes with cars moving quickly. Wheels spin and backgrounds blur as the car goes past! I also like to shoot the "white of their eyes" as the drivers concentrate on doing their job.
