Cars and derelict buildings

This weeks photos revolved around a Sunday car shoot and a visit to some derelict building on Tuesday.

On Sunday I spotted a BMW M2 that I had seen around Lerwick a couple of times, it was was parked up so I took the opportunity to get the camera out and take some shots. I really love to shoot cars but I wish people would wash them for me. The BMW had some beautiful lines on it and some cracking alloy wheels. I used my 35mm lens at F1.8 to crate some mad depth of field.

I also had my 14mm lens out to give out some different angels. With the sun shining it was great fun to see how many different angels to capture

.On Tuesday I decided to take a walk up across a field to some abandoned buildings. In Shetland there are loads of buildings that have been let go to ruin but a lot of the time they are completely empty and the photo opportunities are limited to the out side and some past there best roofs but every so often you find one that looks like the people have just upped and lifted in the middle of the night. This was one of these cases

There was an abandoned garage as well that had some very rusty tools, bottles and even a couple of cars. The house had beds and cupboards in there. As well as some old spice bottles. And vitalite tubs. This is a real dream to find the photo ops are really plentiful so I had a round an hour capturing as much as I could.
