Car Show!

Some photos taken at an annual car show here in Mississauga:

Not sure what others think but as a professional car restorer / builder your processing has seriously masked all the money the owners spent on their cars. The fenders & doors don't match on the first shot & to me only the last shot is worth looking at BUT THAT'S JUST MY OPINION and I may get shot down for it.

I'm not saying I'm a fan of the processing (because I'm not), but I don't see how it could have anything to do with mis-matching body panels.

aside from the 3rd one, i think the others could have been better compositionally.

You've gone a little too far with these, & have a halo around the hood in #1 & 3 as well as some other areas. See the links in my Sig, and...

Huh? I don't care about the work and money they put into it, I just thought the cars look cool lol. But thanks anyway.

lol. If I see that car at another show in a few weeks I'll let him know! To me, HDR is always supposed to be a little over the top; it transforms a regular photo into something more akin to artwork, but that's just my opinion.

Nice cars but way over processed.

Then why waste your time on a car show where the cars are generally hard to shoot due to close positioning & spectators? You'd be better served by going to the closest parking lot or dealership & start with photos of the cars with an interesting background. You may see those cars as something to re work with software but many of us want to see the workmanship.

Umm. Maybe I posted these in the wrong forum then. I don't care two shakes about the workmanship and the restoration efforts, I just admired the classic cars. I really don't care if people want to see the workmanship; comments should be directed at the quality of the shots; I have no problem with that. I wouldn't go out of my way to take a picture of a car. Since this show was a five minute walk from my house, and this is a Canon photography forum, I thought it would be OK to post photos of cars, which were taken with my Canon camera. If I'm wrong or mistaken, my bad.

You are more than welcome to process & display your photos however you want BUT the title is CAR SHOW so I expected to see show cars presented as such.

Very cool cars, love that '55...One of my all-time favs, such a wicked machine!
