If you've got the gift as a photographer...

I like this one...

...I took shortly after getting the car, hence the "Happy Tag" (temporary plate).

Bob-'67 Heaven-I have a couple photos of your car at Cruisefest, a couple of straight overhead shots from out of my hotel window (when you were washing your car Saturday a.m.), and a couple others. They are all 1-2 MB each. I can send them to you PM, or burn 'em to CD, but I think you might like the overheads-really bring out your fenders. Like standing on a boardwalk and seeing a lovely lady on the beach catching rays...:naughty:

Hi Rick,

I'll PM you to get those photos.

Forgot about these

It's actually steel.

I was referring to the front fender, not the antenna at the rear. :ugh

In this case, I like the shadows.

Taken today, the first day of winter.

Lose the utility poles, or keep them for effect?

lose em, they look like they are growing out of the car......

Obviously, I've got to work on my photo technique. Others are taking better photos of my car than I am.

My thanks to RodsnRides (Rick) for the following shots. I really like how they turned out......but then maybe I'm somewhat biased. :gap

In this last one, I had just washed the car and hadn't cleaned up the interior yet. If I'd known they were shooting from planes, I'd have been neater.

Bob, when you take photos of your car( or anyones car for that matter) you don't want things growing out of it, like telephone poles or fence posts or the like......Down below are before and afters.....

Also, when you have the sky in the shot, if you put a polarizing filter on the lens you will have a tremendous sky background with very rich blues and the clouds will come alive....otherwise they are washed out......

Also, almost all photos coming out of a digital camera are not as sharp as they can be....many of the photo editors have sharpening capabilty (I use Photoshop, use the unsharp filter) that will bring out detail in a photo otherwise left unseen (easier to see difference with a photo bigger than the 80k photo this started out to be, say around 500k or bigger, then shrink down).

or you get rid of that fence altogether and that makes for a cleaner photo as well, now our eyes are focused on the car and not being diverted by the fence at all....

 

[firstgear]

don't worry, I cleaned your interior and the ground around it.....left your hat there

 

[67HEAVEN]

Herb,

Thanks for the clean up. Do you do house calls?

 

[Zblast]

That pic's even better if you get rid of the light area at the top. I noticed it when I was scrolling down.

 

[Jake Ruiter]

Bob if Firstgear comes by your place to do a house call ,could You send him by my place also. Wouldn't mind a little cleanup before Christmas also. Lol......Jake

 

[MsSchroder]

For the next thread: I would like to see: Photoshop Wizardry.

I am just learning how to do some things, but it takes me a looong time.

...don't take pics of your Vette in da grass unless your at a car event.​
