This shot shows the back end of a 1959 Buick Electra 225 which was on display at the 2009 Concours d’Elegance held at Meadowbrook Hall in Rochester Hills, Michigan. The Meadowbrook Concours is always a highlight of the summer for me, since I love to photograph classic cars and this show has them in abundance.
Processing for this shot involved removing blue from the shot, as I found it distracting. It was a sunny day and the blue sky was reflected in the chrome and trunk. I also adjusted the contrast a bit. I finished up by adding a little vignette using Lightroom.
This is the first post to my new blog site and I’m still looking for comments about the layout of the entire site (not just the blog.) Just leave a comment on this post (or the previous one). Thanks!
Comments and feedback welcome.
