Mercedes 500K

Equipment used: Nikon Coolpix 5000

Exposure: 8 full seconds, F 5.8; exp. Comp. -0.3 EV

ISO: 100; Tripod mounted; Window light; black paper as background.

 

This model was manufactured by Maisato and I purchased it in the Daimler Museum (where else!) in Stuttgart. This museum is a must see for any certified car nut (me included)! Of course, there you can see the real 500K itself. I believe that, only 36 were made and now the asking price is around a million dollars. The model is only Euro 36 and a much better value for money :) in my opinion. You cannot drive it, but would you be comfortable going around in a million dollar car?

 

The Indian photographic magazine Smart Photography printed a similar photo by a pro in their April 2006 issue. After seeing this I had sent them this picture which they were kind enough print in their May 2006 issue (page 10).
