PAW 2008, Week 08

Tel Aviv is infinitely fascinating city. I have kind of ongoing project trying to photograph entries of the old buildings... Here is one of them.



And sometimes a car passes and it turn all the heads. In the full size image I could see that the word on the side of the car is "Excalibur"... Probably you can tell me more about this car, dear reader.



Both shots were made with SMCP 43/1.9 Limited at f/4 and f/3.5 respectively.

Both shots made with SMCP 43/1.9 Limited at f/5.6 and f/8 respectively.
