Tokyo Nights: An Alfa Romeo 8C At Tatsumi

To me, the perfect picture has always been about capturing a subject in the right place at the right time.

You can fabricate and set up an image as much as you want to make it stand out, and it will look special. But in my eyes, nothing quite grabs your attention like an snap taken out in the ‘wild’. It materialises in front of you, and you’re usually presented with a very short window of opportunity to get your camera settings just right and grab it. At Tatsumi Parking Area over the weekend, this moment presented itself.

I had just enough time to run to my car, pick up my camera and get the shot before the elegant Alfa Romeo 8C left. No time for tripods; no time for lights; just a single chance to capture something special. This is the essence of Speedhunting.

Beautiful car, beautiful photo! but Sorry Dino, was that uploaded correctly? It looks vertically stretched.

Gotta love Tatsumi PA !
Going to Japan in a bit, wondering if Tatsumi PA is accessible by metro/train/bus ? It looks more easily accessible than Daikoku...
Anyone knows ?

Be honest, you took like 75 pictures of it in 15 seconds - and then had to adjust your pants to hide your chubby.

@Hisothiro Only by car, it's a little rest stop as you head away from Tokyo towards Urayasu/Chiba. It's on the turn off to route 9, the road splits on the left and as you go up the entrance is on the right side before the left hander in the distance

FunctionFirst Something like that...lol

How much was the photo touched up? I mean, is that red pretty accurate to how it looked in person? I need that paint code, that is too beautiful.

CyborgGT i cannot remember the color code, but i know it is a $5,000AUD option on the Giulietta!
But believe me, that is the legit color, it is phenomenal in the flesh!

The best looking car designs that last really are the shapely ones...

Nice pic. It is still one of the most beautiful models to come out of Italy the last few years. Are you doing the RE Amemiya Super Chantez or SA22C any time in the future? :) speedhunters_dino

The wheel matches that body perfectly.
Love this thing. Great picture and luck thx Dino.

Dino - you have done it again - the warmth of the streetlights perfectly tone to the blurred yellow, white, blue and red of the lights in the towers behind and the warm glow of the red of the Alfa - Perfect shot !
