Volvo 480's at night

Here you can talk about the joy owning a Volvo 480 brings. Non-technical discussions take place here, like what is the difference between an ES and a S version.

Volvo 480's at night

Post by piper1st » Thu Dec 06, 2007 9:05 pm

In Dan the 480 mans good buy postthere are some photo's of Ursula at night ... i've copied them in below ...

Image

These photo's look ace and got me thinking how you don't see many photo's at night on here ... and i'd like to see some more of 480's!!

Now that the nights are here again, it shouldn't be too hard to find an opertunity ... saying that ... i had a go myself (see below) and it's not as easy as you think ... my digital camera wasn't up to much as all, infact my mobile gave better results!

I suppose i should start off, so here's mine ...

I think the old style where the two lower bars are red is better (IMO) funny how things change over the years!!

exactly ... it's not really surprising, it makes a lot more sense to take photo's during the day, especially on nice days, but I really like the photo's at night, something different i suppose!

thats a good effort!

Beautiful sky there Kev...would have looked nice with a 480 in it! Some good photo's there. Night shot's are nice if you get the right composition-the skies can be very moody with light pollution etc. I did get a couple of the car next to a carriageway at night so the car's stationary but the lights of the cars going by are blurred...Get an SLR and you can become very experimental with your photos!

Found another one too-as i noticed both of mine were from the rear of the car...
