Evora Picture & Video Thread

[snoboardr]

Yeah I nearly got run over by an old bat in a Honda Jazz when I was lying on the road taking that. It's in the middle of nowhere on the bend on a single track lane. Nobody told me there's a posh farm shop and deli only about 200 yards around the corner. It was late and pitch black when I first found the house.

The first one really is a cracker, nice.

+1. Really nice pictures.

Had a bit of a play with my new 10mm lens and then PS.

Looks a bit squished?

That's an optical illusion created by shadow in the lower mid-section removing the detail of the bottom half of the car. Compare with my one side-on at the derelict house which also makes the Evora look much higher and "stubbier" than normal. Or at least it is in mine, I didn't edit the photo other than an iPhone filter.

In the Evora DVD that I'm sure Bibs will be only too happy to sell you if you don't already have (or a second time if you do!) the Lotus designers explain some of the design "tricks" they used to make the car look lower in the mid-section than it really is.

I'm in that DVD doncha know, signed copies are available

The "squished" effect is probably caused by my 10mm wide-angle lens. It's not quite a fish-eye but I was still able to get very close to the car for the shot. The only PS work I've done on the pic is to blur the back- and foreground so the Evora is emphasised (and the moss on my driveway is de-emphasised!)

I was moist with the anticipation of seeing a video of a recent "Supercar Weekend" in the Scottish Highlands that Dexter was on. He gets quite a lot of screen time in the full-length cut of the video that was made. Anyway, I grabbed a still that I quite like. Merry Christmas.

Ummmm, didn't you forget to mention something in that post Jason?

Don't encourage him, Colin.

I didn't think I particularly mentioned very often that <deep breath> Dexter is the world's only factory-painted full matt black Lotus Evora (of any persuasion whatsoever, but specifically Evora S).

Apparently I seem to have got myself somewhat of a reputation.

Quick clean over the weekend, not the most interesting location but as soon as i move it off the drive the damn thing is dirty 

[Bibs]

Thanks for the welcome guys, i've been a long time lurker, having previously owned Evora S, i just never got around to posting.
