looks good :-) the angle on the 2nd shot is more pleasing to me than the first, the first looks a bit more random.

I've always liked Morgans too.:) I thought I heard somewhere that they originally had frames made of wood.:eek:

#2 is a great shot, I like it alot.

I like the first one. I always like the shots that show different elements of the car (hood, headlight, fender) and yet it's still easy to identify the car.

Wow, these are both really cool! I like both angles, the first isn't one thats usually seen. The Morgan's lucious curves reallly make it work.

The Morgan Aero 8 (I think) is the longest running model of any car manufacturer, and I think they are still made of wood frames?! But I might be wrong on that one.

The Morgan 4/4 is the model that is the longest running model, it started production in 1936 and is still in production. The Morgan +8 (which is the car in the pictures) Is basically a 4/4 that has been widened a little and had a Rover V8 stuffed under the bonnet, started production in 1968
Aero 8 is the newest Morgan (production started in 2000) with the more modern bodywork and the BMW V8 under the bonnet.

Contrary to popular belief, the chassis is made of steel, but the framing that the bodywork is attached to is made of ash wood

Thanks. The Aero 8 uses the 4.4 V8 from BMW correct?

The black and white conversion on these pics are nice. Please tell me how you did the conversion

Thanks, Peter. I used a channel mixer adjustment layer in photoshop (check monochrome) and then adjusted for something like 20/70/10% on the RGB sliders. Then I added a brightness/contrast adjustment layer and increased contrast about 10%.

voila.
