Was red the most popular colour at this show?
Really lovely car, chevy?

14 Aug 2011 10:12am

@The Mouse: Yes, there were a lot of reds, don't honestly remember if this was Chevrolet or Dodge.

J.R. from Ginowan, Japan

Early 50's Chev love the candy apple red paint but who ever did the work screwed up the grill, well as I've said before and will probably say again; "different strokes for different folks!" LOL!

Incredible color on that car. It can't be the original paint job.

Stephen from Canberra, Australia

Love the flaming red - but too much of a good thing - needs some chrome at the front!

Great colours and love the HDR!

Don Levesque from Saint John, Canada

Sorry Curly, though it was an hdr. Was this done with Lucisart?

14 Aug 2011 2:07pm

@Don Levesque: Yes this is the Lucis Art plug in Don, if I remember rightly I duplicated the base layer twice, then used Lucis on the middle of the three layers in the "exposure mode". The top layer (which was a duplicate of the original) had it's blend mode set to "colour", so grass, trees, cars, and people may look slightly different but at least their colours are original.

DULCIE from Danville, CA, United States

This is a vibrant beauty, almost like the old 'candy-apple-red.' (Shows how old I am, right?)
This shot seemed to load with luminous color, but you saw the original. I am getting really frustrated by the way photos change and diminish when posted on the web. :-( Nevertheless, this one is a 'star.'
