Automotive Appeal

Over the past few weeks car shows have been a reprieve from the ongoings from everyday life. I have tried to keep these shots at a minimal processing from the original image as to improve my photographic abilities. A bit of black and white is a small effort in comparison to the Lamborghini, which has it's own story. I retouched this shot that's for sure but it is debatable as to who shot it. I was assisting and did some shooting of the car myself..... The mystery lies within there. The process in Lamborghini was laborious to say say the least. Then people ask as to why retouchers and photographers charge so much. People there is a lot more involved in doing a "shoot" rather than grabbing an SLR and pointing and shooting..... Anyway, that's a topic I would rather not talk about. I also attended my first "Japanese" modified car show on the weekend....They will be uploaded soon enough but it was cool to see something different.

 This is the Lamborghini, I mentioned before. I did not receive the original file, it was sent to me "tinkered with". This is just a sample of what I did in about 4 hours of photoshop........ This thing was shot at a car wash and it was freezing that night.....
