Nice. The HDR makes a nice image in this case. My Dada had a late 50's Belair, followed by a Ford Fairlane, followed by a '65 Mustang. The worst part is that I had a real shot at the Mustang back in '78. On Mon, Jun 4, 2012 at 5:40 PM, Don Guthrie shark50...@gmail.com wrote: As I remember Ken

Thanks for looking and commenting. Let me say, I wish I had your style. When I took the photo I envisioned the HDR version and took the appropriate exposures to process. While I like the BW version the HDR was what I saw when I clicked the shutter and it turned out the way I hoped it would

Thanks Steve, the Fairlane was my 1st new car. My brothers 1st new car was the '68 Mustang he seriously considered putting it on blocks for 10 years but decided there were better places to invest his money. Oh well. Message: 2 Date: Tue, 5 Jun 2012 07:34:48 -0400 From: Steven Desjardins

Well I wouldn't exactly call that a great design but it is certainly timeless. My dad had a 53 but it was a 4 door. It was on that car I performed my first oil change found out when they said XX qts of oil, they meant it. Nothing like foaming oil coming out of the breather. Nice capture, I

Nice Don. The dialed to eleven version is not my cup o' tea, but its a gorgeous car. I believe one you photographed is a '52 however. The '53 '54 are a bit more rounded. On Mon, Jun 4, 2012 at 3:43 PM, Don Guthrie shark50...@gmail.com wrote: My 1st Car was a '53 Chevy. When I saw this chevy

The hdr version is especially striking. The background was nice to you. It's hard to get a shot of a parked car without some crap getting in the way (wires, lamposts, other cars, pedestrians, ugly backdrop. This one works to make an overall wonderful photo. Cheers, frank What can be asserted

It's only dialed to 9 1/2 ;) but I do respect your position. Yeah my brother agrees this one is a 52. I later owned a Pontiac (with a straight 8) of this same vintage and I may get them confused. My memory gets older every year. Message: 11 Date: Mon, 4 Jun 2012 16:20:06 -0500 From:
