Artist's Comments
+ I'd say it's been long enough since I posted a car shot, wouldn't you? 
Here it is, a 350z shot in St. Augustine, Florida. Jenseylove and I were standing outside an art gallery, talking with the owner, when I saw the car approaching from down the road. I didn't want to distract or bother anyone, so I set the focus to about 15 feet and kept the camera to my side and my finger on the trigger. Once the car passed by, I snapped the shutter and prayed I didn't aim too high or too low.
+ No need to comment on the straight or non-straight lines. I did what I could to fix what seemed tilted. Ah well. I removed a radio antenna that stuck out from the back of the car. At first it didn't seem too bad, but once I removed it everything looked a bit cleaner. Too bad I can't do the same for the "car bra" in the front. That black cover just, yar, it'd be nice to have a consistent shiny element from front to back. Not much I could do.
+ Yay St. Augustine!
+ Editing Process :: I didn't know where I was going when I started, so the process here could be simplified, I'm sure. :: 1) Colorized b&w image to a steel blue tone. 2) Duplicated layer, set properties to Multiply and opacity to 75%. 3) Created third layer. Set properties to color, opacity to 37% and filled with pink flesh-tone color. And there you have it. Rinse. Repeat.

CommentsAwesome shot! My fav car captured at its purest.

 LOVE the contrastNice shot! Your car shots are awesome! *drool*
-- It ain't over till the fat lady sings this is the most effortlessly cool photo I've seen for a long time!
 loving the contrast and colour choice... -- Break free from your deviantart addiction >_>Nice photo, nice car
-- General Digital Photographer Paris | Provence | Spain [link] And there we go. Pretty subtle when I compared them to each other, but...I like it.
Yummy yummy! I love the tone. I really like how there's very few straight lines here. The wave in the brick... the wave in the pipes.... all compliment the lines of the car. Nicely shot from the hip!!!
