Cotty stole my thoughts! :)
But when I was taking this, related photo, if I had used a polarizer,
I am not sure if my car (the white one) would have shown up:

(or maybe it would've been enhanced... it depends on the polarization...)

And they were made in Newport Pagnell, a couple of miles from where I live.

Nice, especially the badge shot. If somebody forced me to have a car, I'd want
an Aston Martin. I think they're the car version of a Roberts bike.

In this day and age when everything can be done in Photoshop, and to a
similar extent in video editing and SFX software, I tend not to use any
filters - except for one, and only for video. I h

My comments are based on personal preference. And my personal preference is
based partly on what publications want. Some photographers do like the wide
angle look, but I’ve never been a fan. Here, if you had rotated the car, you

Thanks Paul, I was hoping that you'd respond. It was late evening, but
I realise from your point and looking at the shadow cast by the car,
it was probably parked the wrong way round! 90 degrees rotation would
have had the sunlight illuminating the side. Schoolboy error...

Nicely rendered, but too wide a lens for my taste. It yields a "fat front end"
look. In addition to a longer focal length, a polarizer would have served you
well. Finally, try to shoot at magic hour when the light comes from a low
angle. That will illuminate the car's flanks.

Thanks Jack. Forgot to say that it was Ilford FP4 - probably using a
Z1 and Pentax-A 28mm.
