1971 Chevy Camaro with big block 502 under the hood. I really do like this sepia effect. Finding it hard not to use it. :) Ah well ... still playing a bit. Haven't done a lot of that with Potatoshop recently. -=>Donald

Though I do love the deep blue colour of this Supercar I think the sepia effect is just great! Adds some mood!

Misha - Yes ... I'm sorry. No car babes at this show. I know it's a shock ... it'll be ok ... really. :) These first shots are kind of weird ... was still setting up my camera for this day. The color on this thing was weird too. I think the whole thing was powder coated.

the sepia look works well but i prefer the bright colours of the original. nice reflections on the chrome.

Pictures appear to me, I shoot them.   Elliot Erwitt

Firestorm - me too, that's why I finally decided to go with the slight blurred sepia background and natural main car color to isolate the subject and reduce background clutter. This is the final on the Camaro. This is gonna take me a while, but I am liking the way they are coming out. -=>DOnald
