Graffiti and the Classic Car…
This classic car resides somewhere between poetry, cartoon and work of art! The lines of the car are almost impossible, and it was such fun to photograph. The purple and green engine detail in my previous blog belongs to this car, no surprise there! The outside is just as amazing as the inside.
Photographing at car shows presents a host of challenges, especially when trying to shoot for HDR. Inevitably someone will walk into the scene during one or more of the exposures. There are often distracting or unflattering background elements. The easiest solution is to replace the background. I keep a folder of various backgrounds, and chose this colorful graffiti wall photographed in downtown Orlando, FL.
Replacing the background is easy. Try Topaz Remask or the Quick Selection Tool in Photoshop to select your classic car, and move it into place with a new background! You can add finishing touches to create drama. We do this in my course at BetterPhoto, Photoshop – Enhancing Images and Creating Works of Art! We’re having a lot of fun, and I hope you can join us in December!
Hi Deborah,
All of your work is so creativity…I totally admire your use of so many techniques and filters to transform your images into beautiful works of art. I love what you did with the Graffiti. You’re pretty close to being able to warrant a Graffiti Name…soon as you put you own Graffiti on the garage door!! bbond
Thank you for your very kind comments, Barbara – as you are quite the artist! I’m glad you love graffiti too. :o) I’m hoping for a graffiti name one day. Maybe I can get a few lessons and earn one! For now it’s just iDeb…
