Old Muscle Cars

GMC Yukon by Studio M (Automobile Photography).
This is my friend's newly' purchased GMC Yukon. I feel white cars contrast better than darker color cars with this background (Like the RX-8). The order and colors of the containers is different each time I go there. So it depends a lot on luck to find the right combination for the background.

Corvette - End of the Day by Studio M (Automobile Photography).
View Large On Black

This shot was taken at sunset time. I had to choose between many versions like the original color version and complete black and white. Again I decided to go creatively nuts and left only two colors in this shot. Red and Blue for the taillights and sign.

Desaturating colors in Lightroom is more effective than doing it in Photoshop CS2. For the blue I simply used the elliptical marquee tool to cut the colored sign from another version of this shot and pasted it here. I'm quite happy with the results.

This is a 3 exposure HDR, also a Double HDR done as separate detail enhanced and tone compressed HDRs from Photomatix. which made removing unwanted artifacts and noise easier. I'm beginning to use this technique quite frequently.

Mustant GT (Dark) by Studio M (Automobile Photography).
I mentioned before that the front view on the new Mustang GT is quite awesome and appealing to me. This is a photo from the same shoot back in July. I used Lightroom and Photoshop CS2 to edit this photo. Most of the work done was by darkening the mood and atmosphere to show this car like a quiet beast waiting to be unleashed.

Back in February of this year, it has burned down in the process of dismantling it and I believe by now completely removed from the sea.

This was taken just before sunset.
The car here is Corvette Stingray 1976.
