A Porsche for Christmas? Early Porsche at 8am on my Christmas Eve walk . It seemed to be in very good condition.Not best quality shots as are on Nokia/Windows phone.

Don't take this the wrong way, but the weak link is you not the phone camera.

Yes it is a nice car, and yes these are just snap shots but you could have done a lot better just by including the whole car in the picture instead of chopping off parts of the car like you did in the first 2 shots. Also watch what is behind your subject. The cars behind the Porsche are very distracting. I am looking forward to your next selection - hoping to see better compositions.

Did you notice that the OP's shots taken with a phone camera are better exposed than anything you have ever posted taken with your Nikon d800? How embarrassing is that for you? Keep telling you, this hobby was not designed for you. Lol!

Love the car!

I agree it could be better but considering the bright sun and my lack of spectacles for my 70 yr old eyes I was lucky to see anything. I really could not see what I took until downloaded to computer. It was more for car fans than photo enthusiasts. It is why I do not use a camera without viewfinder! If you look at some of my other posts you can see that I can take a photo!

Merry Xmas

I didn't know his age and I apologized. Maybe people should start putting their age next to their locations.

Despite the grumpy photo critics, I appreciate the photos. The vintage cars are special. Thanks for posting.

No problem and no offence taken. A I said it was mainly about the car. What surprised me was how small, and cramped it seemed. Compared to my neighbour's Boxter and a Panamera I regularly see at golf it was small- but then the MGBs and Austin Healy Sprites I see would not accommodate my 6 ft 1 inch frame either.

I think it's refreshing to see some good criticism. Isn't that supposed to be a part of this site? As a beginner, I learn more from a critiqued photo than I do from a lot of numbers and tech language.

Mtcoothaman, fantastic photos. I remember them back in the 50s. Some great memories there. Fantastic photos for the phone/camera you used. Thanks for sharing.

Age has nothing to do with it, he did not ask for CC, you just jumped in with both feet.
