Thought the photo of Rico's car deserved a place in our collection of "Images"

I like Richard's "image" vs "photo" idea.
It reminds me of the "film" vs "movie" discussions I have with friends
in the entertainment biz.
Possibly this older shot may fit the definition of an "image".

May be cheating a bit but I kinda liked what Photoshop did with a Pagoda image when "texturized"

P.S. Yes Jackson, your posting is certainly an "image" and deserves a place in this collection.

They are not "artistic" but I love these two images:

This one got nice reviews from the instructor in my photography class

(I would like to apologize if I overloaded the server with extra "uploads" it took my several tries but I think I finally figured out posting pictures with my Mac!)

Note the orange peel behind the plate, totally absent on the well-prepared paint elsewhere. Amanda, plug those holes around the licence plate somehow.

Aside from that nice IMAGE; I love the dappled shade/sun on the car.

I like the play of light on the trunklid and the sharp focus - good shot!

I think Amamda's car is a Euro model - the rear fog light, chrome trim between the bumper blades and the wide license plate mounting holes point to this. Personally, I'd get one of the wide chrome European style license plate mounts behind the California plate and mount some German auto club badges on either side of the plate. That'd use the holes, hide the paint and dress up the car, all in one shot!

Thanks Mike, those are good suggestions. It is indeed a Euro.

Beautiful shot! Why are the sun visors gone?

dtuttle123 · « **Reply #68 on:** June 16, 2008, 04:59:54 »

Darn! Thought you wouldn't notice on the sunvisors! I could make up a great story on how artistically they would mess up the shot, but truth be told, I had taken them off to do some cleaning of the chrome. Can't get anything by you guys!

Edward Hopper was famous for his paint and watercolor images of coastal Maine. He did deveral paintings of this light house. He also was famous for depicting many of his subjects as if one were viewing them through a window. He even did a few watercolors of cars along the Maine coast, but I don't think he lived long enough to have done one with a Pagoda. Neverless, My first thought when I saw this image was how much it resembled a Hopper work (for instance, one of hallmarks of Hopper's style was his use of bright colors and stark contrasts; another was to paint the telephone poles, but never show the wires that linked them) - good work!

dtuttle123 · « **Reply #70 on:** June 16, 2008, 17:52:44 »

Mike - great pattern recognition with Hopper's work - it is striking similar when you go back & forth between the two images. I'm sure he also took down the curtains in his window (i.e. the sunvisors) when he painted his art!

Beautiful! Except for the sky or lack of it--great shot, nice detail (even at the very reduced 80K limit here)perfect time of day, perfect reflection and shadows, nicely exposed...don't post them all here John we want some surprises.

OK, so how did you drop the car in position on the grass without leaving tire tracks (or, do you live in a climate where that you can leave an open car out on the lawn for several days to let the grass grow up around the wheels without worrying about dust or precipitation accumulation)? ;^)

Must have just been springy grass. I just backed up into position.
