I was just thinking last night. I need to buy a Suzuki Swift and take some photos of it in London.

I love this one!
 
That is a very nice shot TVR&Ferrari_Fan but at the same time it doesn't sit well with me. While it's a great shot you can't really tell it's taken in London. Don't misunderstand me by thinking that i don't believe it's taken in London because i do, but you can't really see it. And that's the whole point of the theme (i think).

Anyway, Moglet is the judge but i just wanted to get this out there cause i see it a lot in other competitions. Again, don't take this the wrong way, it's nothing against you personally.

:lol: Sorry about that, I was at my girlfriend's house all weekend and only had access via my phone, I totally missed the explanation bit!

The reason I picked it is because my friend had a Swift Sport and he recently had to get rid of it, which is a shame as it was an awesome car. I want you to help me relive the days of cruising about in it by shooting the car in London. I know I live in Birmingham but the closest I could get was a UK city! 👍

I don't think, I will change my entry. And for one very good reason the main subject of any car shot is the car.

But if you have too much scenery, then it starts to take away from the subject.
 
FINAL ENTRY



*Click to Enlarge*

Sometimes, insanity prevails. Sometimes, taking it a little to far, is more fun.

All I'm going to say is that it has 299hp and it now drifts.

 
Final entry



A big thanks to Moglet for choosing this car and location. It was much more fun to shoot than expected!​
 
Love the theme Mog, big fan of the Swift. I will do my best to make an image worthy of this great little car. 👍
 
Great entries so far guys! 👍 Nobody has yet used the colour of my friend's real car though! :P
 
:lol: Not quite, no! It's a manufacturer standard colour, and there were only 3 colours available in the UK until recently so that should narrow it down!

I prefer the Raspberry Pearl :grumpy:

Black / White / Silver ?

Actually I prefer this car in White, gives that little extra contrast to it. My colleague has the black '09 Sport version, and he asked me to drive in it and don't hold back... I looked at him like this :crazy: and after test-driving it with 6500 rpm I suddenly looked like this :drool: !!
This is a really fun car to drive in real life 👍
