Ghost In The Machine

High Key experimental photo.

L, what lens did you use for this? I like the perspective and the toning treatment - all comes together rather well. It does not hurt to have a subject with such character too! I do not mind the large 'wasted' space at top of frame. I think you might find a few others will. One major negative (for me) is your very prominent reflection in the bumper. Was that intentional? M :)

ps... your reflection, plus the other cars, I forgot to add. M :)

Much appreciation for the critique! The reflection...well quite unavoidable...but I like how it adds a small signature to the photo...I tried so many angles on this car and it was hard because there were cars parked on either side of it.

 

I used Canon's 17-40mm f/4L 17mm, ISO:400, 1/125, f/11 Canon EOS 5D

 

Cheers,

This image works. That is totally cool. I like the way the image is cut diagonally between the white space and the subject. Wonderful detail in the car. Just great.

Looks like something straight out of a dream or perhaps a Stephen King novel. Fantastic texture on that car and I like the contrast from the worn rusty pain and the shinny chrome bumper. The white space works beautifully here to isolate your subject. Could use a little more USM but otherwise I would not change a thing. I would hang this one on the wall, Cheers, Mauro.

the reflection in the bumper gives this shot umpf. like it alot.

Well done :) I also like the reflection, kind of another image inside an image. A little bonus :)Would you mind telling us how you accomplished this? I really like the results.

Thanks for the comment. Initially the image was slightly overexposed. I tried to fix it in the RAW converter in ps, but then the image just fell flat...by pure coincidence I pulled the exposure slider higher to the right in frustration...and walla...serendipity.

Simply fantastic!

Wow! I could totally see this huge poster size on my wall. Great shot,angle,process everything!!

wonderful!

I made a 11x14 print matted to 16x20...looks sexier than this small web image! Thanks!
