The Beauty of Grey

Just messing around with cars. Fitting for the Daytona 500 don't you think?

This is not a black and white world

To be alive the colors must swirl

I believe that maybe today

We will all get to appreciate

The beauty of grey

The Beast

An old truck I saw one day. Blackened the background using a technique that someone once taught me.

SIlver

This Chevy is in a field outside of Hillsboro, TX. I spent an hour or so in the hot blazing sun shooting about 30 old cars there. During postprocessing I wanted to desaturate the greens a bit and quite by accident I desaturate everything except the reds. I absolutely loved the results so I stopped right there. This was taken with my Sony point and shoot camera.

Coca Cola Classic

Taken in West Texas, I don't really remember what town. There were a couple of trucks in this garage station and no one was around. I used my Sony point and shoot camera and converted it to black and white.

Big Job F800 with Fangs

I found this bad boy one day when I was driving through West Texas. It was in the town of Guthrie, TX parked in the lot of an abandoned gas station. It was a cloudy day and I used my point and shoot Sony camera.
I did a curve adjustment to darken the shadows and give the truck a deeper red tone. A clarity adjustment made the clouds more menacing.
One thing I think is cool is the front V8 emblem resembles Dale Earnhart Jr's old #8 logo.
Did you notice the bird?
