Like many, I think it's fun to clean my car (well, it’s fun to have a clean car), locate a good/unique background, then take some pics using a quality camera. Equally enjoyable (and far easier), is admiring others’ photo art. Accordingly, I have a thought/request:

• Post one or two photos of your Mustang - trending towards the artsy side. No hard rules, just consider unique backgrounds, lighting variations, angles, close-ups, etc. Minor post-processing is fine (maybe even encouraged – and if you do, add a brief description). Yet it’s nice to be as natural as possible. For an example, leave the car untouched, yet Photoshop the background to augment your car. The world is your canvas. Find unique nature scenery. Find fun urban settings. Find classic architecture. And by (loosely) limiting it to just a couple of pics per post, it may motivate us to try it again – with another backdrop or theme.

I think this could be quite interesting to see the work other members produce. For instance, I'm fairly close to some nice nature backgrounds, but lack great architecture backdrops in my immediate area - that's why it could be fun for all of us to compare and admire. Who knows, maybe someone can produce some real art.

Anyone game? I'll start the ball with a couple of quick examples – then get serious later.

2 Pics....1 in B&W, 1 color - in both, car is untouched, yet backdrop is Photoshopped.

Hmm, does this stuff qualify?









Serious Photoshop, lots of color alteration, DOF work, etc.

Some from the past...

Lava Dude

If you think it's art, it qualifies! I think it's artful too. Thanks.

Lava Dude

Thanks - I like your (past) work. Now you can create something new. And while I like them all, 1,2, and 4 are keeping with the theme. We're after car shots here after all.

I think Chip Foose qualifies as artsy

I think you should get a new camera - those pics show a talent for photography. If you can do that with the iPhone, a nice camera might be a good purchase for you.

Knight

a bit artsy, didn't do any post processing.

Thanks for the positive feedback folks! Im only 17 so no major job yet so will be awhile before i get a solid camera. Any reccomendations for a new guy like me?
But yea these are new tires but Black saleens are going to be next

S197 GT

Here are a couple.

Touched up by CaptDistraction.

Those are both real nice. The sky in the second is great, yet the first pic could be in a brochure from Ford! Great setting, 'pose,' etc.

Is that the San Mateo Bridge in the background?

Just a few I've taken this summer...no photoshop, though some slight editing in windows live (crop, temp, etc.)
