Skoda Vintage Photo

Photographer’s Note

Participants of the regular rallye of the vintage Skoda MB cars (actually, it is about two-door Skoda MBX cars, but many participants came with classical MB version) arrived to popular city Telc. Because of the portals of the houses on the main square Telc is on the list of Unesco world heritage.

Scan of negative, crop.

Hi Jiri,
Love it, a good combination of nice oldies, beautiful architecture ans stormy light conditions to draatize the scene a bit, all with perspective, a very nice tribute to the Skodas that I'll gadly add to my theme !
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

The sky is a bit noisy but the composition and colors are very nice.

Beautiful colorfull picture.
Very sharp. I always like this kind of black skies.
They increase contrast and make color brighter.

Hello Jiri,
Another excellent shot in your gallery! Very good composition with perfect perspective and quality.
I like strong color of cars which contrast very good from bright buildings in background. Very well framed.
Thanks for sharing.
Regards
Maciek

Hi Jiri,
Impressive line of cars. Strong reds, beautiful architecture and dark sky make an excellent combination.
Strong sharpening brings out noise.

Hi Jiri,

those lighted old houses are great under this grey sky. I love the vintage Skodas too...

Cheers,

Loïc

Very good use of perspective to carry our eye down the street past all the cars. The closer ones in bright red really catch the eye. Your scan has come out well and the noise is not too bad.

Hi Jiri,

Thanks for visiting my "corner"... It hard to chose a picture from your gallery to comment as all of them are great catches!!

This one, for example, is simply beautiful: the colours, the geometry, Pov...

I hope you come to Portugal again and that next time you will visit the Vasco da Gama bridge as well as all the Parque das Nações area!
Best regards,
Pedro

Hello, Jiri!
A big part of history! My uncle was driving that model of Skoda on the cab. Very sunny and funny picture!

Greg

Tons of warm memories.
Skoda was (and still is) the best car ever produced (designed) by former communist countries.
A miles ahead of those dreadful Trabants, Syrenas, Warszawas, pobiedas and the whole list of the worst crap possible.
Only Skoda had the worlds standarts (even though the commies tried to screw this up as much as possible).
Quite unusual photograph, Jerzy!
the colors are...Hmmm...?
Very dominant feature of your baby.

Thanks, brother for nice chat.

Hello Jiri! Oh brilliant composition. The cars are angled perfectly and also parallel the architecture perfectly. The detail in the cobblestones is well seen. And of course the colors are absolutely stunning. A+++

Hi Jiri,

The old Skoda, i remember well, from the 70s when it also drove here. these days the modern version doesn't look at all comparing to these old models, but seeing them back in your picture brings back some memories to the old 70s, also in combination with the old architecture which you show here. I like the almost square format, brings a tight but very nice composition in sight....very nice work.

Regards,

Henk
