That’s OK, mine isn’t always automotive-themed either!

Mine is all the cars and none of the cars at the same time.

Yes this is really my normal desktop.

Trying out some studio lighting that I got for free from an ex-photographer.

Citroën LNA so I can stare at it while I wait for mine to arrive from France.

I would but it’s a little NSFW. Just know it involves an SLR.

It took me a good while to get the theme right. Apple doesn’t really want you messing around in all their stuff.

No, it was Citroën’s super cheap version of the Peugeot 104. It used the same flat twin that was in the Visa.

So much want! You have to do a video tour of it sometime! These are the kinds of cars I love :P

From what I know, the 104 was actually not all that common, or at least, there aren’t many of them left, so there have to be VERY few of these around, eh?

Thanks! I’m fortunate to have an interesting car and a “local model” willing to entertain the experimentation.

The wireless trigger light turned out to be super finicky, so I’ll probably buy a video light for next time.

Your pics have much better composition!

Not my pics, sadly...just found them online somewhere and liked ‘em! :)

I’ve got a DSLR that I was given as a gift, but have had very little time to play with it all....last time I had it out proper other than one or two shots here and there was way back in the winter to do mini photoshoot of my car...still learning about all the settings on the camera and what they do. My big thing that day was just getting to grips with what to adjust to prevent my pics from getting washed out! :(

Yup all about experimentation and getting a feel for the camera and the lens :) Enjoy!

Yeah, I’ll do a post all about it soon. The 104 isn’t that uncommon, relatively. The 3-door that the LNA is based on is a little less common. I was surprised at how many LNA’s I came across while looking for one. They’re definitely not everywhere, and it is a forgotten car, but they’re still some around. They do get cannibalized a lot for their engine which people put in 2CV’s, and it’s hard to find a rust free one. It has an all-time great interior.
