I hope everyone had a great weekend and enjoyed last week series The Bull Riders. I have a big week lined up for everyone, including the debut of my newest movie, ‘Contrast’, so let’s get to it!
If you have been a regular here for a while, you know last year I did a story on a little town called Crescent Valley. It is a mining town smack dab in the middle of the richest counties in the US. During the week I was there, I got to know a lot of the residents. One of them had a cool collection of cars that he restores when he’s not at the mine. He invited me to come by one evening to photograph his shop. What I found was a little history in American muscle cars.
Photographer’s Note: I often use luminosity masks to shape the shadows in a scene. This image was a great example of it. Here is the before and after I applied some darkening to all the shadow areas.










Looks like that is going to be one sweet ride.
I love this shot. Great mood, and fantastic processing. I’ll definitely be looking into luminosity masking.
Wonderful shot and I love the way you’ve processed it.
