Elena found this
wonderful location that restores and sells classic and customized cars. We had some time and decided to visit the
place to discover the challenges of photographic reflective surfaces such as
cars.
We learned rather
quickly that challenges were a bit of an understatement. We ran into hot spots,
color casts, reflections of the camera or worse…the photographer. Detailed pictures revealed dust, paint chips
and those damn reflections. Overview
pictures revealed cluttered backgrounds, unflattering juxtapositions,
emphasized our location was in landscape bowl.
Elena truly created
lemonade from lemons and I made a gin & tonic.

Russ, love the VW Bug light. Especially appreciate the reflection in the paint. Well done.
ReplyDeleteCarol, Thanks for the encouragement. This outing would have been a total disappointment had it not been for your classes. There simply wasn't an overview shot but by moving in and taking on the challenges of detail shots, we had fun and came up with some shots.
DeleteMaybe it did take a lot to get here, but these are all very cool!
ReplyDeleteSharon,
DeleteThanks for the kind words. We had a good time doing this.
