1957 Ferrari Testarossa - NJMP

brandon9585 · 30th of September 2009 (Wed)

I have this picture I took at the Ferrari Challenge a couple weeks ago at New Jersey Motorsports Park. I was really thinking about getting it printed at my University's art department and hanging it up in my room. Are there any suggestions on making it a little bit better? I think it looks good but I know others have a better eye for retouching than I do.

Maybe fool around with it and see what it looks like in black and white - could look great, but the pic looks awesome as is!

Great shot, nice pan job.

You should print it! And it doesn't need anything done to it. Might do a sharpen pass and see what it looks like. Oh, and it would look cool in B&W (maybe a bit of sepia) but since its a Ferrari I vote for color. Love that red!

Thanks for comments. I've tried in black and white and I do like it but I think I like the Ferrari red more.

What about colour and B&W?

Noice, yeah definitely a candidate to get printed, maybe on canvas? I really like the shot, it's very nice and sharp, colours are great and the car is just beautiful, one of my all time ferrari favourites, must be a real treat to see one on track.

- Maybe try a high contrast B&W....

It was. My ultimate dream car was there too, the 250GTO. It sounded like armageddon on the track. Unfortunately I only got one decent shot of it and it came off the track pretty quick. The pair of 1978 BB512's were the loudest with the flat 12 cylinders. I was thrilled when one of the private mechanics said I could come in the garage and take pictures up close. Here's a few others from that weekend.

I think I'm going to get the Testarossa printed in color this week. I'll work on a black and white though.

That's funny - I have a very similar masserati engine pic. I took it at NJMP earlier this year, weird coincidence

its just a littel too cropped (unless thats uncropped) IMO.
