The subject of this topic is "Images" not "Photos". This photo forum has lots of 'photos' but very few 'images'. By "image" I mean a shot where the setting, lighting, the angle of view are more important than the car itself; a 'photo' shows something, an 'image' sets a mood. (Am I a romantic or what?)

I don't claim to have any photographic talent but here are two (crude) attempts at 'image' making of the 280 SL. Some of you can do a lot better I'm sure. I'd like to see us make and post more "images".

(In this photo forum, I'd call the second attachment in Gerhard's 05 July "Color Codes" reply an "image".)

OK - here's a romantic photo of my car at the body shop, just before receiving its new white coat (I hope this works):

Let's try this one then...
Those type of pictures usually come out better in black and white though..!!

Richard,
Is the Medieval castle behind your car the place where you and Doug do your weekly board meeting?

Reply from Richard:
Bob: Doug (Kim) and I do not have weekly board meetings, we sometimes have bored meetings!
The castle is an attempt by a 19th century US millionaire to duplicate a European style in the US. There are a number of these "castles" in Newport, Rhode Island; and along the Hudson Valley in New York. The one behind the car is one of several along the North Shore of NY's Long Island. This one is on the Sands Point Preserve, about 25 miles east of NYC.

Richard,
Hello. In your "mbsunset.jpg" image, it appears that there is a large tree growing from your parcel shelf! It's personal preference, but I don't like to see things lined up, symmetrical, or otherwise geometrically aligned in photos, excuse me, images. It will be interesting to see how many aspiring artists we have!

How's are these?

Good idea Richard!

I hope this attached picture reaches the level of "image". It's not a 280 SL, it's a 250 SL close to a lake (maybe you could edit the subject of this topic to "Images of Pagodas" or similar, in order to open this interesting topic also to 230 and 250 SL). I took this photo during a meeting of the recognized Spanish MB Club, in the Pyrenees of Aragón.

Best regards,

Hi all,

Always enjoy seeing new "images" here. Is it an idea to start a photo archive with lots of detailed pics for the owners restoring their SL's. I am planning to start this fall (October) and could use some detailed pics to see how things should be. Bought myself a nice book at De Slegte (The original Mercedes SL by Laurence Meredith) for only 7 euro. Lots of good pics and a chapter on restoring SL's.

Upping some more "images". Hope you all enjoy them as compared to the original pics the quality decreases significantly.
Avg. size of original pics is 1MB.

Maybe it's just a "photo", but I think the lighting that comes from the beautiful forest La Fajeda d'en Jordà (Olot-Girona-Catalunya-Spain), covering a nice group of classic Mercedes cars (with 3 Pagodas), could merit to be in this "images" topic.

I like this image taken about aweek after I bought my Pagoda. In a way, it shows how happy I was and a kind of nostalgy of the sixties,my 230 sl is a -64 model,aa image in a mood of "come on , let's twist again":

In march, when the snow was melting, I took this image of my pagoda surrounded by the trees:
http://membres.lycos.fr/kulta2004kulta/230%20ds%20sapins%20redim.jpg

and this one has in the background a valley between the 2 mountains that reminds the shape of the pagoda roof, don't you think?:

Here is a couple of shots of a car that I ended up buying off the net wihtout even seeing for real...... I was lucky , the car exceeded my expectations , however , I probably would not take such a leap of faith again.
