In their September 2012 issue, a German car magazine will feature an article (written by myself) on my 131, the "Ineptitude". Yesterday they sent a photographer to take some pictures, and I took the chance to shoot some amateur pics myself, from a similar angle as the pro did - however, without his professional tools and artificial lighting. Here's some of my humble attempts (scaled down) - I am quite curious how the pictures in the printed article will look. (By the way, while I took 60 pictures he took around 600  Shocked, static and dynamic ones)

Great pics Robert  Wink Cheesy

Didn't the original Fiat 131 brochure feature a Sport/Racing car next to an aeroplane? Or maybe that was the Supermirafiori and the Sport was on a ski slope.... (I'm getting too old to remember  Undecided )

The Super was next to the plane with a couple of executive types.

The Sport was parked on the ski slope next to some late 20's trendy skiing yuppies.

Great Brochure for a great car. They were making the S2 a very aspirational vehicle. The CL in the same brochure was parked outside a couple in their 30's large house that they were visiting for dinner.

The S3 132 Brochure was on a similar line with the 132 being parked next to a nice boat in one of the shots.

Very nice Robert. Well done!  Cool

There appears to be a lady who has wandered into one of your shots. Was she lost?  Wink

You are right Theo, it was a Ski slope, sad as it is I have a print of the advert on the wall of my office.

Another one, this time a teaser for the article. The photographer's not only good at taking pictures but also a photoshop pro it seems:
