A Day Shooting Cars

By rsiggins written 6/22/08 5:13 PM, published 6/22/08 5:17 PM

This was a new experience for me.  I'm ususally out in the woods taking nature/landscape shots.  I was asked if I would take pictures for a car show at our church and I thought this would be fun.  In addition to the normal people, cars, and people with cars shots I tried to take some artsy photos.   All were shot with my Tamron 17-50mm on a Canon XTi.

Steering Wheel I wish the wheel was turned so the emblem was right side up.  I don't think they would have liked me getting in and turning it....

Bel Air I cropped and then pumped the blue saturation up a bit on this one.

Sailing Off The Edge Of The World  The original had very little color so I went ahead and converted to b&w.

Inside  This was an experiment.  I bracketed three exposures and then combined them as layers in photoshop.  Kind of a HDR effect.

A Light Reflection Lots of chrome around.  I had to remove myself from the reflection.

 I hope you enjoy these.

    Done with a nice eye for detail.  I like these a lot better than the usual car show shots.  Nice job.
