Advertisement Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Hi likalar, Take a look here Buick Low Rider and Owner. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
stuny Posted March 24, 2010 Share #2 Posted March 24, 2010 Larry - With this gorgeous shot plus the pair of post-war Buicks on the grass in the People section, I suspect you were at a Buick show, or the Buick section of a car show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maurometallo Posted March 24, 2010 Share #3 Posted March 24, 2010 Hi Larry, This is a fantastic shot with tones to die for! I love the car and you portrayed her beautifully! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
likalar Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share #4 Posted March 24, 2010 Thank you Stuart and Mauro. Nice of you to take your time to comment. Stuart, this show was a grass roots impromptu show, last Saturday, that a guy at a hardware store told me about. No fee, no web site, no toilets, no food, just 2 local old school car clubs that get together when the weather report is decent. I think the rounded Buicks must be local favorites, as there were at least 5. Larry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferry Zievinger Posted March 24, 2010 Share #5 Posted March 24, 2010 Excellent shot, well thought of and executed, the tones and overall presentation are spot on. Good work! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick59 Posted March 25, 2010 Share #7 Posted March 25, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Larry, super vantage point. Nice photo. Just a question, are you shooting in BW or converting afterwards on the computer in BW?

likalar Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share #8 Posted March 25, 2010 Rick, Paul, Ferry, Thank you! Rick, I used to shoot bw files (jpegs) with other cameras, but with the M9, I'm using the DNG only setting (either compressed or uncompressed, depending on ??) and loving it. I hate to lose any of that "goodness" built into this sensor. Then I import from a card reader into lightroom, and develop my edited pics, (either 8 or 16 bit, not knowing why, really) placing them into a folder on the desktop as Tiffs. Then I launch my older photoshop CS, open the Tiff and desaturate. The biggest advantage of that is that the raw file remains available, untouched, for future reworking, depending on the need. I know that's a wordy, obvious explanation (hope you don't mind), but often other people, also fairly new to this, read responses and might find this useful. I'm far from knowledgable about this stuff, so if you have any PP advice for a casual shooter, I appreciate your input; lots to learn, and the people here have been very helpul. About that cool tones that others mentioned: That part was mostly luck, as the georgeos pewter and deep maroon car was parked in a very open area with no other cars or buildings nearby to muck up the reflection (how rare is that?) from that low angle. That and the very evenly diffused sun helped a lot. Thanks! Larry (sorry to babble on so long) ;-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
