This week I did quite a lot of car photography, but my favourite was not a car at all! It was a classic Harley Davidson bike, a beautiful, sleek machine; belt driven (instead of a chain) and with abundant chrome.
There’s now two “Car of the Week’ possibilities this week – and I’m not exactly sure which one I will award my coveted ‘Car of the Week’ first place! I like them both – and they’ll both sell fast, with professional imagery luring clients into the showrooms!
Here’s my car of the week – it’s a ruggedly beautiful Landrover Defender:-
Classic Landrover, style, and an engine that could tackle anything – I reckon nothing will stand in the way of this beauty.
AND – as a bonus, – here’s my RUNNER-UP!
It’s a neat wee BMW 218!
And this week’s winner is this fabulous BMW140i …
Photographed with the equally fabulous Fujifilm X-T3 F=56mm, f/4 @ 1/25th sec, on ISO1600

Photographed for a client, on a wet, miserable day, with the Fujifilm X-T3, F=52mm, f/6.4, @ 1/30th sec, on ISO3200.

This beautiful new BMW 116d sports the new design of the latest One Series, and cuts a dashing figure against its white background…
The key of course, is to slightly underexpose the white car, and overexpose the background by at least two stops. So, ideally the camera should be on a tripod, and the shot bracketed, and later combined in Photoshop. Best practice too is to use a light meter to get the correct exposure on the car.
