I have many dreams, mostly ones one can hardly convey in spoken language. I want nature and peace around me, yet I do not want to relinquish digital photography. I have a Nikon D200 with a very basic lens. I had a Canon 30D too, but what a disappointment. BIO I am 55, an IT consultant and tried my hand at diamond digging, computer programming, being a network & computer technician, web designer, amateur photographer, etc. I am a man of the bush and appreciate simple things. I do photography assignments from time to time. I am privileged to live where I do, (map), a rural area in South Africa where I can hear the lions roar just 12 miles (20km) from where I live. I love this site and the artists uploading their work and I don't think any other site offers this varied depth in artistic skills. Piet

well I'm months late, but happy birthday to Harry, and this is a terrific photo which I can see he much appreciated. (He even knew the year—hell, I wasn't even sure it was a car!) (that's not your photography at work, it's my ignorance!) It's a beautiful photo Piet, you've got lots of different light, reflected, dappled, bright, mute, etc; the shadows play beautifully off the car and the bricks, etc; I like that you included some sky in the right-background (nice choice), and the reflection off the windshield is beautifully chosen. Really fine work. A really nice birthday gift too, to a terrific photographic contributor and great commenter and someone who shines like this car.

I love it. Nothing against modern designers, but the cars of those days sure did have style.
