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

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.

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.......

Hot Rods and Helmets........

Over the past few weeks I have been trying to figure out how to do posters from images I have taken...... The minimalist thing is good in the correct environment but I needed something more. I was looking to create a wallpaper. Something I could have printed up to a couple of metres in height..... Well, I think I like this one. It will need test prints etc but it may just work. I have added some progress works, nothing spectacular, change of colour and stages. Also, decided to add a helmet poster I had done. Again something different. These posters are what they are and nothing more. It's keeping me active and separates me from the camera.

This is the end result.....

And the helmet...... There's something that I like about this one, don't know what or why.

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

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.
