[Moments Captured by Gina]

Rotting away...

[Ryogenetic]

Gina, nice shot I think that in BW it would be really eery shot.

No more RX-8 but new toy in the drive....



Really digging the DOF, but I need to work on the composition, I worked the subject for about 20 mins trying to get a good looking image. This was the best I was able to come up with.

Thanks
Ryo

Multi layer edit, first is a touched up version, second is the final.





Thanks

Round 2, lower ISO but camera shake.



This one includes a drop in the suspension to give it an added effect....

Thanks
Ryo

[Ryogenetic]

For some get out and drive inspiration:



I have seen this shot a million times, (the empty curvy road) but I still cant quite capture it.... On the upside it is more fun to drive the car over it than take a picture of it....

Thanks
Ryo

3 Edits:







Slight changes, but working on techinque, again, Blue Blob and the BMW. First is almost SOOC, second had a BW layer added in as hardlight. Third has some color shifts, and the BW as soft light. Should have taken another step back and to the viewers right.

Thanks

I like the last one you must have loads of money to own all these cars

[Ryogenetic]

Thanks Steve. That is a great location to shoot, I am going to have to scout some more locations for future shots.

Ryo, I really like this backdrop. That could be a fun place.

[Ryogenetic]

@ Jon GRRRRRRRR it is really a dichotomy... I want to climb the walls and photograph and I want a good setting for the cars.....

Your empty road shot, may I suggest about 1-1/2 to 2 feet above the road, over the centre line. Oh and make sure there are now cars coming it is awlful hard to get up and run when you are laided out on the ground, suggest 2 other helpers at the opposite ends. Did one like that with a motorcycle coming through an S bend, had him do 4 passes so that we both knew where I would be and that I was not the one who was going to move. Got a great image out of that.

I got the probably unreasonable impression that this was running on diesel but only because I never saw anybody put a lump of coal on the fire.

Like the train Rio

[Ryogenetic]

Great shot Steve! (as to your comment I was thinking to myself in my best Jeremy Clarkson Ferrari owner accent.... OHHH why Yes the Forty Seven Three Two Seven... Obviously its not a coal train its a diesel steamer...) but that doesn't come off quite as humorous typed...

Here is the first from my Coffee and Cars:



Thanks

Photo-merge to just extend the pic horizontally:



BW of the pipes:



and a random Lotus:



^^ I think one of these would be really fun to own, but getting into it the drivers seat is a real gymnast affair!!!

Thanks

Hey lotus is good; I used to be friends with a club owner, not now because it is a load of bother. He had student staff and one who moved on had a girlfriend that bought him a Lotus, then he left her and kept the car.

Ya don't have to work very hard, in fact if you do ya not getting one of these. They are bought for you one way or another unless your rich. Ya can't make it up.

I wanted one of these; economical and nippy, but I didn't get a rich girlfriend.

[Ryogenetic]

I hear ya on that Steve, I want the rich girlfriend too...

Porsche hood with clouds:



Was more of a fun shot to capture the reflection of the clouds above....prob shoulda cropped a bit tighter but then you could not tell its a Porsche.

Thanks

Here is one that I took of a friends jeep on July 4, while we were wheelin' on the river.
