Ibn Saud's cars

King Abdulaziz (15 January 1876 – 9 November 1953) was the first monarch of Saudi Arabia, the third Saudi State. He was referred to for most of his career as Ibn Saud. (Wikipedia)

The foundation had his four cars on display. The gallery was closed, so this was shot through glass.

His two other cars and his portrait:

Nikon D800 ,Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED
1/100s f/5.0 at 52.0mm iso3200 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

I was a child when he came to Dhahran where I lived. I don't remember his cars though. You would think I would since all Aramco cars were painted bright red. Well that was many decades ago.

Another beautiful pair of wheels! V Chris is right, there is no indication that you shot thru glass. :)

quite a nice collection; no obvious sign of being shot through glass, windows must be cleaner than ours!
