Description
The Montclair TimewarpWhen Mercury made some of the badest cars around, when the lines were designed and Chrome reflected it's wonderful colors. When Rock & Roll was just being born, and tailfins were the norm. Welcome to the Montclair Timewarp!
HDR processed, selective vignetting, custom retro color curves, selective dodging and burning.
All I can say is that I am ordering a 24x36 print for my wall! I love how this one came out!
Thoughts welcomed!

Beautiful specular highlights! If I may ask, it looks like you punched them up somehow in post... how? Tone mapping? High Pass?

I love the combination of the retro feel of the antique auto with modern style processing, saturated color and abstract cropping. It works very well together

Holy Crap Awesome!
Sometimes the car pics that you upload just blow me away. This is one of those times.
I was actually thinking about your gallery while I was away at the autoshow on the weekend and wondering when you were going to post some of your amazing car photos. What a nice surprise to see this in my inbox this morning.

Such rich colours. I think the red sign distracts from the car a little.
