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...

Lead sleds

Continuing the panoramic work.... Did this Lincoln Zephyr and tried out something different with the little ford coupe.... The Castrol bottle was something I shot and put together last year, just thought I would put it to use.......

Ending one and starting on another 2.......

So I have finally finished the panorama from the last post, I think..... It has stirred up the thoughts for doing another 2 panoramas in Chevrolet and Chrysler. See what happens. Also added is the steelie I used for one side of the is image. There will be various colours available on these... Just got to get organised.

progress for a panorama

This is the beginnings of a panorama. been working on this for a while, trying to figure out what stuis and what doesn't. The other thing is with what else to fill the rest of the image.
Anyway this is progress for now. Also playing with the idea of colour.

Flat out

So I have been flat out for a while, between working and going away had no chance to do anything. I have just found the time to do these pieces. Two I shot as aerials from the plane I was on, couldn't sleep so found the opportunity to take a few snaps. Also never done aerial photography before. The other is of a Buick I shot earlier this year, decided to do a Sin City style image with this one.

 Felt really small after taking these shots. I shot the aerials with a 10-22mm wide angle lens...

I like this one as it has that sombre feel. May print this up see how it comes out

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.

ASRF car show

So I went to the Australian Street Rod Foundation charity event on the weekend just gone by. Ended up being a huge turn out, all sorts of cars, bikes even race boats. Saw a genuine "barn find " Buick, some of the images below. I say genuine because it seems to be a fashion at the moment that anything in  garage is classified as a barn find..... This one still had the dusty smell of an old barn. Anyway these are a couple of shots I took while being there. It's nice to get back to photography, although still having fun with the other stuff I'm doing. There are still a lot of  images to go through, just got to figure out what to do with them

Been a while

It's been a while since I have posted anything..... Haven't been doing a lot of my own stuff been working on other projects. I have managed to do an image, done both in a panorama and a standard size. It has opened up the idea for another image. Got a couple of others that I have yet to finish, due to lack of ideas. This first image, I shot it at a car show, saw it once never seen it since.

The Buick below was shot at a car show also, finding it tedious to separate the car form the backdrop thought I would do this.... Was using photoshop initially but now using illustrator, hell of a difference, no pixelation in full res.. Self teaching Illustrator so forgive me.......

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.

Chevrolet c10

I came across the photo of this old Chev from afew years back, along side was the pinstriping.

Been a while

I have been busy for the past couple of months, shooting my current series. Away from bikes and cars, well there is one shot with a car but anyway. The series concept is of a and about a psychopath. Bringing various genres of photography together to portray this person.....There is about 50-60 images so far and I have yet to shoot my model which will tie everything together. I am then going to cull it down to a maximum of about 30 -35 I guess....Watermarks have been put on the images as I have found my work stolen and butchered in the past and worst of all claimed by scum bags as their own.

This is just a sample
