The Sunday Challenge - Car Badge or Logo: Macro(ish)

Austin-Healey cars were produced from 1952 through until 1972, when the 20-year agreement between Healey and Austin came to an end marking the end of an era.

This shot was chosen specifically with the challenge in mind. However, I've added a few from the autofantasia archives into the notes that might have made the grade had I elected to use an image I'd previously uploaded.

Thanks Sami. Glad you like it although I realise it isn't quite as macro(ish) as some that have been posted.

Ha ha, great minds eh? my first image (that I've not put up) was exactly this crop on a same colour Austin Healey 3000 MkIII, and in your notes you've the same angle and crop on a jag mascot and badge that I did . . . .

JOOI did you touch up the red in the badge? the one in mine was rather corroded

I know, I was struck by how similar your Jag shot was to the ones I normally take of that car ... great minds indeed!

As for the red, I did dodge it a smidgen, but to be honest it made little difference ... the badge like the rest of the car was in stunning condition!

Great elegant shot, beautiful curved lines with the straight vertical ones and in the center the red logo

autofantasia ^club has replied to Wierd Folkersma ^club

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement. I just wish the verticals on the lower grille were a little straighter ... don't know if that was how it was fitted or some distortion through the lens?

Color me very impressed too! I love each one of your photos. They are just gorgeous. The grill on this beauty reminds me of a harmonica. I love how clean and clear this photo is and the great colors. This was a very fun challenge you gave us Paul. Thank you!
