Portland Headlight
View allAll Photos Tagged headlights,
A bronze(d) headlight of 1907 Duryea Buggyaut (yes, that is the real name of the car) in Boyertown Museum of Historic Vehicles.
A headlight is a lamp, usually attached to the front of a vehicle such as a car, with the purpose of illuminating the road ahead during periods of low visibility, such as night or precipitation.
Kuddel's eyes are so special. Sometimes when it's getting dark, I wonder if they'll go on glowing ...

The soft light on the high ridge is from a car's headlights that must have been coming in late along the entrance road into the Badlands. They started hitting the ridge about halfway into this exposure I was taking of the Milky Way. An interesting add to the scene. A magical place and time to be taking in that night sky.
These bring back memories of my mining days. For my friends that asked, yes, I worked in a gold mine.
Caught in your Headlights
I had to close my eyes
Caught in your Headlights
I had so little time
Caught in your Headlights
I couldn't turn back
I was never myself
I was you
I forgot

I don't remember what car this was, maybe an Acura.
This is why I don't usually shoot whole cars. So many people do, and are very good at it. I prefer to focus in on the little thinks, like the lines, curves, and especially the lights.
This 1960 Aston Martin DB4GT, driven by Urs and Arlette Muller, was sporting a set of black wire wheels at the Goodwood Revival instead of its usual Borrani silver set I've seen it with previously, adding a sense of menace to the car that was previously missing. It also looks like the suspension has been worked on as well, with the car sitting slightly lower than normal (although this may be the combination of wheels/offset/angle of shot that give this illusion).
I've struggled to find any information about this DB4GT, so don't know its provenance, although I think its likely to be a continuation/replica given that there were only 75 genuine DB4GT's produced, 6 of which were in the lightweight spec where aluminium was used along with some extensive drilling of solid parts and stripping of luxury items such as the radio, clock, window washer bottle and bumpers.
A number of standard DB4GT's were brought closer to the lightweight spec after they were produced, but its not clear how extensive this was in terms of fitting of aluminium panels or the drilling of the chassis members.
The DB4GT itself is shorter in the wheelbase by 5 inches compared to the regulat DB4, and features closed headlights abd the larger bonnet vent. In keeping with Aston Martins luxury ethos, the DB4GT's were still fitted with leather upholstery and wilton carpets, something I'm sure was soon replaced or removed by owners keen to further improve performance.
