Avery Creek UMC Car Show, Part 3

Still More...

This a nice shot of the pin striping and logo for  the 59 T-Bird.

I am not sure what this holds, But it looks really good!

Now this is the power Plant, Custom Built. Off to the bottom left was the battery, But I removed it because it interfered with the balance of the shot.What do ya' Think?

Finally, I have finished working the Car show!

 This is the engine of a Vette. I liked the chrome and red juxtaposition enhanced by the blue go the body. I did a Little enhancement of the shadow areas, but nothing more.

This car has the name Bad Penny, I think it is a '57 chevy. I enhanced some of the colors, but did nothing else.

Here is the engine. On this one I worked the sky a little.

These are the pins that hold the pins in place. I pulled some color out to make the rust vs. chrome pop!

I learned a little from this shoot. Mostly, I need to talk with the owners to get information about the history of the cars.

So, what do you think?

Corvette!

I was cruising Craigslist to settle my GAS needs. I found a guy that had a tripod for sale that was in my price range... (.50 cents or less!) He had one that was only $25. This is perfect because I want to mount my flash on it for portraits. We made arrangements to meet at the local Foodlion.

I showed up there and saw there was a car show going on...at sunset...with the sun shining on all of that chrome...

My buddy and I made the deal, I think it was good, but all I was thinking about was getting over to the cars, so I don't really know yet, LOL.

I need your opinions here. Which is better?

The first image has a little blur in the background...

While the other is straight out of the camera.

Both have a little work done with the White Balance, but that is all. It is a subtle difference, but one that could be important .

So, please leave a comment on which image you like better!

Thanks olc
