discovering a hobby

If you have been following my blog, then you will be aware that ... of late I have become terribly bored ... if not anything else. Blogging, blogging, and blogging ... music, music and music, IPL, IPL, and now, no more IPL, driving, driving, and driving ... well the ususal stuff.

Yesterday, while rummaging through the old model toy cars I had, Hot Wheels, Maisto, and the sort ... I had this bright idea of photographing them up close .. to make them look like real full size vehicles. What I ended up with, was a huge collection of 125 amazing pics. Here are 6 of the coolest looking. Do click on them to experience them to the fullest. And let me know, how you like them!!! 

this one is an 18 wheeler, and an automobile carrier. The bent front portion adds a nice touch. Photographing this was difficult because it required the right combination of close-up and distant focusing. As a result, the front part got slightly blurred.



this is the super-star in my collection. The limited edition 1:18 model Michael Schumacher Ferrari, it catches the winning moment of this legend immediately after the Canadian GP 2003. Every nook and corner is authenticate to the minutest detail.


the historic super-car of the 80s. The Lamborghini Countach. Lamborghini's first "super" car



the chic and cool Smart Citycar. Please DON'T confuse with the Nano.


the hybrid Toyota Prius minivan.


I personally don't like bikes much. But loads of people do. This Yamaha R1 is just for them.


Do comment!!!! I'm trying to embed a presentation in my blog to give you glimpses of all the pics I shot ...
