I really like the haze around the car to accentuate the dream mode. Can you do one for a Morgan 2+2?

Awesome picture. Great perspective. I like the haze as well, and the color is beautiful!

Thanks, folks. The "haze" is just a vignette. In Lightroom 2, I used the Post-Crop Vignette slider and moved it to the right which gives a white vignette. Most of the time people go the other way with it to make a dark vignette in order to direct attention toward the subject. Using a white vignette gives a different, more dreamy feel that I though worked well with this image.

The perspective was achieved by getting down low and using a Sigma 10-20mm ultra-wide angle lens very close to the car. I was less then two to three feet away. Getting that close causes an ultra-wide angle to exaggerate the perspective cues.

I saw some Morgan engines at the auto show, but I don't think I saw any Morgan autos. I did see some Sunbeams which were beautiful. And some Lotuses. And an old Triumph roadster with a rumble seat.

I love the colours, this MGA is in stunning condition, the photograph just makes me want to have been there to see more of the cars.

Thanks for sharing
