Hyundai Veloster

Here some shots of the Hyundai Veloster.
If you compare the left with the right side you will notice that the doors are different in lenght. Thats probably because the Veloster will get a smaller rear-hinged rear door on the righhand side to make the entry in the back seat easier, just like the Mini Clubman.

Enjoy

The Ghost.

This car really did exist as a prototype.
Normally we see photos of the upcoming cars in several shapes, first mules, then the real prototypes in different stages of camouflage. And if none of us professionals get some shots of the car, then it’s always some tourist of car fan that gets some photos. But in this case, the new Ford Focus, all we got was the mules. No one and I mean NO ONE got some shots of an actual prototype driving around.

So where the heck where they testing? Did they really do some road testing or did they just test inside closed and secured test facilities? Well, the Focus was revealed at the 2010 Detroit Motor Show but will first hit the show rooms in 2011 so maybe they start the road testing now.

That could really be that way, so when I noticed this prototype I had to shoot it even if it’s already official. Just to proof that it actually existed. They must have been driving this shit somewhere otherwise it wouldn’t be so camouflaged.

Audi 3 - Canon 1

Audi 3 - Canon 1
Other than that you can’t really describe it.

We noticed the new Audi A7 hiding under a cover and decided to wait a moment to be able to shoot it when they would leave. The moment took 3 hours and it got dark. But that’s no problem, just pull out the big flash and the extra battery pack and the problem is solved.

Checked everything and it all looked ok. Then the moment we have been waiting for, the test drivers came back, took off the cover and wanted to drive away. I ran forward and started to shoot. No flash? Next shot, no flash. What the heck.

One more try and the same result. I quickly shut the flash off and then on again and see, then it worked. The problem was just that the Audi guys weren’t in the mood to wait for my flash to work properly and pulled off as quickly as they could.

So that’s why 3 shots are crappy and only one is good.
