Blown '37 Willys - A Beauty with a Beast!

[PhotosGuy]

The Beast is the engine, of course! :D This is Rogers '37 Willys, & it's a real beauty. I don't think it's possible to take a bad shot of it.
It's running a 427 Chevy with a 6:71 blower, & a Ford 9" rear end.

... I think we have to have a chat about creative photo editing.
I have never really done much more in PS than doing colors and cropping... from the old school, did only the basics printing in the darkroom. with all this creativity in PhotoShop, I would have to learn a bit.

What exactly is that for a color??

Very nice shots & PS work Frank. :D

Gotta wonder how the driver can see where he's going. Maybe he only makes left turns.;)

I just added a thread on removing backgrounds here (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=82876)

Lee, not sure what you're asking, " What exactly is that for a color??" The car? (Don't know). ;)

Thanks, guys!

So, Lee, did that link help?

that boot could hold a lot of luggage :D:D Only you would think of that, Marie! ;) (Blimey! Must get poor gas mileage, too!) :D:D:D

[PhotosGuy]

Late breaking news: you can have this car for only $65,000!

[garbidz]

Dirt cheap! For the price of a Boxter one could get THAT!
(Very well processed picture the first one)

Thanks. It has been my favorite, too. I blew it up to 12X18" & matted it into a 16X20" frame.

Crop the image to the best advantage to make the subject look good, & then fill in the difference in formats with acid-free cardboard. Most art/hobby stores have the materials. Michaels will cut mats, & there are lots of places online to supply them.

I really like this series because not only is the car beautiful, there's no border. Some may like it, but the transparent border you always put on your photos kinda annoys me. Nothing against you, understand.

[PhotosGuy]

Some love the border, some hate it, most don't care. A true "Bell Curve"! :D
I don't like to crop the other cars out of the background, but still want to put some emphasis in the featured car, so it's a compromise which will never please everyone. Win some lose... ;)

Very nice Frank!
