I saw a similar (or maybe same) Miura - same size, colour, platform, etc - at an AUTOart dealer - and asked him what make it was - he took it out of the showcase, spent many minutes poring over it only to tell me embarrassedly that he didn't know the manufacturer. There was a half-price sale on - and the regular retail was $70.00 - but I skipped it to my eternal regret. Would have been just $35.00 - enough money for a couple of days gas in my real car.
Seems like this is a mystery Miura! Shame you didn't pick it up. It was in the museum's gift shop, exatcly like that, no box, no nothing, just a Miura on a stand and a price tag. There were a few other cars as well, and I can't remember for the life of me what they were. I think there were a few Ferraris and perhaps a Porsche, but the Miura caught my eye first. I just had to get it with it being my favourite Lamborghini!
photonriderChecked out your album - super cars in there, girl, some real gems - plus I see you're enjoying your photography big time! 👍 No distractions there, heh heh.. . . .
Thank you! Yeah, it was nice to get my camera out again. I haven't used it nearly as much as I've wanted to since getting it for my birthday last year, the weather just doesn't want to let me go outside! Those photos I posted at the beginning of the year were just a one off! Guiltily, I did get distracted even taking those photos. As you can probably see, some of them have quite good lighting, whereas others are a lot darker. The lighter ones were taken when the natural light was quite bright, and then suddenly my photos become dark as I've wandered off somewhere and then come back once the sun has nearly set.
Good effort at photographing these. If I may give you a tip, they're all underexposed. They need at least 1 stop of over exposure and if you can get them away further from the background it will hopefully fade away and be less recognisable as a (non-ironed ;sly bed sheet. Give it a try.
Yes, I agree with you. I wanted to use the natural light, as I hate taking photos like that under artificial light, but as I said to photonrider, I got distracted and unfortunately came back when the natural light was quite dim. I'll put a few in GIMP and see if I can lighten them up.
My 'set' was very DIY. We're decorating the living room, so the curtains are down, so I draped a curtain over the edge of the bed. Unfortunately I didn't have barely any room to move back as much as I wanted to, I was literally hunched over the camera with my back to the wall! I'll try ironing my backgrounds next time.
AMG.It's a lot better though than most of the pics I see here where there has been no effort put in to photographs models in a good clutter free environment.

Thank you!

Not so much of a Holden fan myself, but nice find! Was it expensive with it being signed?
