Howdy friends!
On my way home from work tonight, there was this beautiful sunset - and as usuall I had my camera with me - aaand I really felt like shooting a little, instead of just hurry home. My way home from work doesn't really offer much to shoot, so I just pulled off from my route and drove through a industrial estate - but naaa... nothing of interest. So, in desperation I thought perhaps I could snap a few pics of my car against a nice sunset sky. So I stoped in the middle of the road and begun shooting - and it went on from that. When shooting, I felt that the pics were gonna end up a little dull - I mean - it's a Volvo V70, not a Lamborghini - so I figured I should try to add a little drama, to create a "scene" and this is what I ended up with.

    Thank you! :): thumb.gif I felt a bit hesitant to post this pic, since pics like this oftenly ends up with a heated debate about guns and violence yada yada. I don't LIKE violence, but I can destinguish the difference between fiction and reality. I like action movies, and in the spirit of that, I created my own action scence. :):

    Very creative, Matty!
    If you don't mind my asking, how did you do the "cobweb' on the passenger door glass? Just borrowed it from some other image, or ne_nau.gif ?
    Thanks for sharing! thumb.gif
