Seeing Red

[Erik Anderson]

Taken at a weekly gathering of exotic owners who meet at a hotel/convention center. C&C demanded, ego biscuits discouraged.

beautiful saturation in the reds :-)

background and reflections aside, the stance of the car in the first shot looks very good to me, aggressive with out having to resort to tilting the camera or something. The good part of the background is that all of the lines are fairly straight, and the colors are muted. The shapes unfortunatly I would lable as distracting if this were a planned placed shoot. Same with the hot building reflection under the driver side light.

The wheel in the 2nd shot looks very good, the colors and contrast are very pleasing! I'm not to much a fan of the tilted angle, but thats a matter of taste I think. (I like my chicken blackened and burned! haha!)

The reds in #3 might be a tad bit over saturated, you might be clipping 255 in the red channel on this one? Although I'm generally not much a fan of tilted angles, I think all of the lines really look good in this one, abstract.

I'm not a fan of the light, or the composition/shapes in the last shot, This one I'm not feeling.

I wish #2 had a longer depth of field so I could see the beautiful ferrari wheel and cap as well.

I've worked on an edit that I post after this weekend's wedding. I've done a bit of color burning on the reflections which pushes them back quite a bit. True, I would not use this location (or rather this exact spot) for a photoshoot although there are some other places on the grounds that could be interesting/unique.

I've taken a second look at #3 and brought the levels down just a bit which seems to work a bit better.

This was taken about 45* into the sun as is crested the building. I may play around with cropping this one and trying a few new PS technique. It may not be worth it! :)
