Bleeding

Been doing these over the past couple of weeks. Last one is incomplete adding a backdrop to it as I can. Drag cars, salt lake racers and gassers are on the list to do...

Auto Worx

Been a while since I uploaded anything so here goes. Finding it easier to upload to Instagram (@spokesnpistons). Did a shot of a Peterbilt truck, first time trial.

 After finishing the above shot , I thought it may work with a backdrop.... I ended up with what you see beneath. I also chopped the roof. Was going to channel the body but thought better of it. Maybe next time. Car show on tomorrow, so hopefully be able to upload some photography.....

Inbetween

This is some of the stuff I have been doing in between other projects... Would like to push this further but see what happens

The lead sled is a work in progress, currently building a backdrop for it. But works both ways

progress shot of the Studebaker, I shot this at a car show, was fairly stock so I did what I thought would suit it.

New worx

 In between work projects, I have managed to create these. This first one is actually a panorama with the idea of playing "chicken" behind it.....This was inspired by watching old car films of the '50s. Fun and games.......

Cafe Racer

These next 2 are an example of where it all starts and where it finally finishes.....I go to car shows and with all the distractions, reflections and people around, it sometimes makes it a task to create a backdrop and then to cut out the image. No not lazy , just doesn't always work out to the original plan, so with the images that seem deemed useless, I come up with the image you see at the bottom.

CHARGE!

 Being a collector of diecast cars....Thought I would shoot this charger and see what I could do with it. I have an array of Kustoms, hot rods and muscle cars that have been shot and waiting to be shot. Can get the lighting right, no reflections..... No pain in the ass "ipad photographers" getting in your way when your'e at a show trying to add to the collection.... Well this is a start, tomorrow a car show, so will have to endure. Doing this gives me opportunity to shoot and keep sharpening skills, in the midst of shooting for others.

Hellbound

These are couple I have been working on. Hopefully get to do some test printing . See what they look like. If these recent images end up being available, they will only be A3 and A2 sizes.

Plymouth finally finished......

I have finally finished the Plymouth image I posted previously... It ended up as 2 variations.

Although not a great difference, still can be interpreted into a couple of stories.

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
