Got a little carried away with variations..........

 I reshot a helmet that I had lying around today... Trying to keep shooting 'til the next project pops up. Anyway these are the results of that shooting experiment. There is another design but not sure if I like it or not.

The Mazda, was a car I shot a little while ago and had not done anything with., so it became an experiment

GSX Buick

Did this today in between other shoots I am currently processing.... Another poster but it's teaching me things at the same time.....

cafe racer

Here is just a quick one I did, minimal simplistic enough.  Just wanted something easy on the eye. This also comes in various colours. May do a small series of various bikes and angles... Time will tell. Now to get on to some of the shots of the DC3 plane

Umm.... a couple more poster prints

So here are a few more poster designs that I have done. A variation on the Porsche, 
just trial and error. As far the "Suzuka 80" is concerned well I hope it says what I think it says in Japanese...... Thought I would give that a try out as well.

As far as photography is concerned, finally picked up the camera again, to document a resto-mod of a small plane. Going to play around with those and see what happens from there. Also had the opportunity to do a few shots of a vintage DC3 aeroplane.... 

Going to make these available..... Once I become computer literate.....

Posters..... maybe

As mentioned in the previous post, I have been recycling some of my, what I thought was useless imagery..... These are just a few more poster prints, I have done. Just using whatever works in my favour, would like to do a few more Australian muscle cars.... See what turns out. It may seem that the images are slightly pixelated...... This is not the case in full resolution.... Damn you pixelation!





Somehow this one found it's way in .... Like I said, nothing is sacred

New Year

Although I haven't done much over the past few weeks..... Pretty much haven't touched my camera. It keeps looking at me and I keep walking away. I have heaps of work on paper, now to get cracking and just do it. Within this lack of inspiration I have tinkered with old imagery and catching up with stuff I had done last year. Although I am no graphic designer, I have been doing some "vector imagery" on the basis of images I had already shot. They are going to vary from Porsches to muscle cars..... Nothing is sacred.

Over Saturated

A few images that I have plucked from here and there.... All of recent events, just trying to keep a variation of sorts going. Tried out a "panorama". Also a couple shots from the mischief makers shop.....

weekend bash

This beetle I shot a while ago just came up in my stack of files .....
Got to another show over the weekend, was a bit of mix up of cars and bikes which was different. Haven't had much time to process in between weeks so I decided to experiment with black n white or sepia.... Desaturation for those who want to be picky. Anyway, trying for a slightly vintage look......





Trying to figure out how to make some of these prints available in a limited run.....Watermarks are always removed and will be numbered....Any ideas?

city dwelling

      
This was shot from a hotel window, pouring rain nowhere to go. You can probably see the rain belting down in the contrasting areas. Sat there looking at this building for a while, then did various shots, felt this had the feel that I was after.Again trying to keep processing to a minimum.



When the rain did stop, was able to go out for a while and just shot random things that  caught my eye.The shot underneath, is a doorway of a vintage camera shop. The owner has old cameras in the window but always seems to be closed....I've been passed that many times never been open... 

The green shot was done from the hip....Walking past who knows what and I just tilted my camera and pressed the button.

Beats me as to what this is.....Just liked it. It's hanging from a ceiling tucked away in some sort of arcade. 

 This last shot was referred to me by a mate who shot the same building but in a different way. I didn't want to shoot the same shot, was grateful in finding out where this actually was

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.....

Wheels and tyres

 Playing catch up with some of the places and shows I have been to. Next few weekends are going to be car shows of varying kinds...... May throw something else in the mix as well.





This bike is a rare Australian piece. Some may see it, although most will not.. Hint    check out the forks and the tank.......

A little reprieve.....

These are just a couple of shots that I did...Not as intense as the previous work.. Car shows are back on so may create a variation of imagery that I feel like doing rather than having to do....
