R75 (a bit picture heavy)

I played around in Photoplop as I was bored, some treatments work, some don't....hey ho, each to their own i guess :D

Anyhoo it's my new R75, fresh from the detailers and snapped in the few hours before it rained and ruined the finish. The car will never look as good ever again :(

Anyhoo I think if you click on the image you can scroll through many pics I snapped, if it doesn't work let me know. I'll post a few copies of some of them directly on here for those that don't want to go to Flickr.

It's the Sainsbury's in Urmston (Manchester)

There was only one Gateshead car park for me....the legendary Shepherds of Gateshead 'Get Carter' one :)

:lol: Aye that's true enough!
 
Beautiful car and great photos
Some a tad over photoshopped, but each to their own as you noted.
Odd you go to all the bother of blanking the reg out then it in full view on one ;)

Edit:
you might want to lock down your Flickr account as all 90+ pages are public
 
I have open access to my Flickr account as the 'regulars' at the Water Park like to see themselves larking about on Jet Skis. Nothing to hide on the site :D

Thanks for the 'heads up' on the number plate, it's not a big deal, but I normally blank the plates on my cars if I post any pictures of them. Probably more of a safety thing with my previous cars (M3 etc) which were a lot more common and much more likely to be nicked (hence cloned plates are of use)

I couldn't resist fiddling with the saturation on a couple of the shots (or was it more?) as I was bored going through all the photos, :D hence there is an annoying leaf which I removed on a couple of the photos :lol:

Some of the shots were taken with a proper camera and a fast lens, so there is a very short depth of field too. The car is now filthy as it's been out in the rain for 2 days and it will never look as nice and shiny ever again :( Oh the joys of living in the North West of England.
 
If you’re happy to leave Flickr open then great. So many folks aren’t aware.
Just the over edit on some shots, perhaps make them look a bit fake. Background on some like the staircase sign. Tbh though lovely photos and car
 
Nice photos 👍.
Bah, gum - Shepherd’s - I remember getting the bus through there wi’ me ma from Sun’lun and marvelling at the mosaic on the building frontage.
Didn’t they also have some place along Church Street near St Mary’s?

Back to the car, I wish mine would come up as clean-looking after two minutes in Photochop 😗

I'm fine with it being open. I have a couple of albums that are not for public consumption on there ;) Mostly it's naked men lounging on the bonnet of my cars....only kidding....or am I?

I wasn't trying to make everything look as 'in camera', mainly because I had about 10 minutes to take some photos in a busy car park and I managed to get a break when the shoppers were leaving and before the boy racers moved in for the night :D I was trying to make a couple of shots look like they were model cars, a sort of diorama if you see what I mean. Anyhoo, it's done now and the exhaust look all rusted up after 2 days rain :D

I've just realised what you meant by the staircase sign, but funnily enough, this is 'as shot'. It's simply the wide aperture and distance from the car combining to give it a reasonably heavy bokeh effect :) I only used Photoshop for the numberplate removal, as I find it a bit of a faff, hence I use Lightroom for photos as it's much quicker - and easier for "bears with small brains" like me :)

I remember going to the floor with all the toys on it, at Christmas time. Also, the abandoned restaurant at the top of the car park...who thought that was ever going to work :D
 
I recall the corny Tv jingle about shopping with the whole family (or summit like that…) but the only rooftop restaurants where I’ve been are in Belem, Brazil and Madeira 🙃
Rooftop in Gateshead usually meant you were escaping from the polis? 🙄 😂

Christ on a bike - with a tone-deaf voice like that he’ll make it to next year’s Eurovision final. 😆
