This was a snap shot I got at a local classic car meet. I thought it was rather effective, can I have your thoughts please !

Great view of an old car. What can I see in the front bumper? It looks like the sun which might be better removed. Is the photographer in the reflection too?

Great shot BB, really like that.

Thank you very much !

I also did a "one click fix" edit called "old photo" which gave it a grainy sepia finish.

Should I post that up aswell ?

Yup.


Btw where was this show?

The Ferry Tavern, a small pub along the banks of the Mersey in Penketh, Warrington.

Wasn't that good to be honest, about 15 cars and not much atmos.

This was also before I'd edited out the background stuff, it seems to fit in more in this version.

I'm loving the effect in the last shot, how was this done?

The mono edit is better and it's a cracking shot. Well composed and super contrast.

^^ Thank you !

The sepia version was done in "The Gimp" It was simply a one click pre installed effect called "old photo" I dont know what it did other than convert to sepia and add some grain, but it took about 20 seconds.

I must admit, I prefer the mono version (without tax discs) :)
