Nice shot and color manipulation. The blue chevy really stands out against the monochromatic background.

it's like when u fall for someone, u may not even always know exactly why, but u do... my eyes fell instantly for the tone and feel of the image. as i explored i saw homages to my childhood (long story) and to my linage. special capturing and editing. be proud. i can see this framed and hangin'.

Hopped up my mom's 66 Biscayne 250CID w/194 cyl. head, truck 2bbl manifold & card, marine 6 cam for over 200HP. Buick 6way power seats almost killed electrics at night. Fun car that she complained about for years!! Nice shot. Brought back memories..Is that a 396 or 427 icon on the fender.

What a photogenic car, and captured brilliantly. Add me to your "tight following", You could do a video on this technique, and I'd watch it.

Thanks, yes it's possible. It has been replicated many times "in real life" so why not.

I can't say I would do this to my car, but if I were you I would buy the owner a beer. Well done Linda, outstanding photo!

It's a track racing vehicle so it's special made for that purpose. However, this is a fully working replica of a famous American race car. Got my neck whipped when I got a ride in it. 500+hp does that to you. :-)

WOW, that was my first car. Many memories on hot summer nights in Central California. The daytime wasn't bad either. Thank you for sharing.

Location
In Fristad, Sweden by an old mill (not seen in this photo, though).Time
Around noon, little before. It was early May in 2015.Lighting
Just natural light. I used the angle from the best of my knowledge to get the best light to show off the car. Also I had no direct sun as it was overcast with a few glimpses of the sun.Equipment
Nikon D7100, 24-70 mm, circular polarizing filter and handheld.Inspiration
It was during a magazine photo shoot. It was published in august/september-something of 2015 in Power Magazine, Sweden.Editing
Here I did. The actual magazine shot, no. I remove the background color and turn it into sepia. It works exceptionally well with clouds. It gives it a dramatic look. Then I enhance the details, sharpen shades etc, kind of HDR.In my camera bag
Now I have a D750 and D7200. When shooting this photo I used a Nikon D7100. I always carry 24-70, 70-200 and 200-500mm along these days. A tripod, camera light (Manfrotto LED8) & remote release.Feedback
When photographing vehicles it's 90 percent about angle and the rest light. I prefer shots from low to the ground. It helps the feel of "big" or "great" that I like to express when I shoot classic cars. Here I could sit low to the ground in a small ditch and got a very good angle looking up.
