PESO -- Chartreuse Coupe II [BW]
One more PESO and that will be enough for a while. I decided to do a BW conversion on the Chartreuse Coupe II that I posted a while ago. Of course that would have removed the reason for its name so I made a few alterations. http://www.mindspring.com/~morephotos/PESO_--_chartreusecoupeiibw.html and the original, in case anyone cares: http://www.mindspring.com/~megazip/PESO_--_chartreusecoupeii.html As usual comments are welcome, but may be totally ignored. -- The more I know of men, the more I like my dog. -- Anne Louise Germaine de Stael -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
Re: PESO -- Chartreuse Coupe II [BW]
The black and white conversion looks nice, but I'm not a big fan of bw with a splash of color photos. Personal preference. Nothing wrong with it. That said, I prefer the original. On 2/22/07, P. J.

PESO -- Chartreuse Coupe
I couldn't fall asleep so I decided to post a PESO. I took this last Bastille day, really beside the point but a it seems an interesting tidbit.

I don't know, the restoration removed any identifiable badges. I didn't speak with the driver. Paul Stenquist wrote: Nice shot. The hat makes it. Is it an Auburn Speedster?

Re: PESO -- Chartreuse Coupe
Looks like a roadster to me. Probably a fiberglass replica of an Auburn Boat-tail speedster. Hum..? A closer look tends to make me think it is a restoration. -- graywolf http://www.graywolfphoto.com http://webpages.charter.net/graywolf Idiot Proof == Expert Proof --- P. J.

It needs to be a bit in front of the driver to get the entire car in acceptable focus while rendering the background as sharp as possible for what I wanted to achieve , and even though the car wasn't moving very fast there's apparent motion blur in the taillights at full resolution. However I touched it up a bit and the problems aren't as noticeable at web resolution. As usual comments are welcome but may be totally ignored.

Re: PESO -- Chartreuse Coupe
Nice shot. The strong contrast and saturation work very well with the subject. I love the hat. A more unusual angle makes this very enjoyable. -- Best regards, Bruce Thursday, August 24, 2006, 11:46:23 PM, you wrote: PJA I couldn't fall asleep so I decided to post a PESO.

Re: PESO -- Chartreuse Coupe II
It is a nice angle on the car but, the background is rather busy and it looks to frozen - not sure if it is just parked or driving along. The driver position seems to indicate movement, but the image does not. Also the saturation and contrast are a lot lower in this one. I like the first better. -- Best regards, Bruce Friday, August 25, 2006, 9:03:39 AM, you wrote: PJA This is a bit more timeless.
