Hi all,
As you might know, I'm rather interested in digi-manipulation of pictures
to create spoofs, or protos of what might have been. Longer-time
subscribers may remember the A8 Avant spoof, which I did for Dutch AutoWeek
in '99.
Anyway, I'm working on two such projects at the moment: a proper V8 Avant
(front view is finished, working on the rear view right now) and by special
request on a type 44 two-door Cabriolet.
I'm making the latter on the base of a photograph I've taken a while ago.
While the exterior proved easy enough to make (a two-door 44 looks
extremely good!) the interior is somewhat harder to recreate. The
photograph I'm working from has too many reflections in the glass to show
the interior properly, and trying to enhance the quality leaves a rather
unnatural result. None of my brochures or press kits show a type 44
interior in that exact orientation, not even a close approximation.
Therefore, I need the help of a list member with a digital camera and a
(preferably early) type 44. I would like to send the base pic I'm working
from to you, and receive a couple of pics from you in the same orientation,
one with the front door open, one with the rear door open. Some (though not
too much) light in the interior would be handy, and daytime shots are
preferred. If you'd like to cooperate, please get back to me and we'll
discuss matters. This is a fun project, and maybe with your help someday
this car will actually be built!
TIA, and regards, Tom
PS I'm always open to suggestions for future projects...
