Merk Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 (edited) Hello: New Guy here. I have been reading for awhile and have decided to join in. A friend of mine who own's a small local bar asked me to scan some old snap shots of his place taken in the 50s -60s. I printed one off and set it on the table behind this work in progress '34 ford. A bit of sepa tone with a photo program and here you go. A traditional Hot Rod in a vintage setting. Thank you to all who have posted ahead of me, I've enjoyed looking through all the forums and galleries.

Merk Posted June 14, 2008 Author Share Posted June 14, 2008 (edited) Hi Guys: Thanks for the welcome. Here is a look just before I shot the pics above. Lighting was just the floresent lights from above. No other lights were used, camara was hand held. The backdrop picture printed on 8 1/2 X 11 wasn't big enough to frame the car so I printed one off in reverse and taped the two together. Photo program used to add the Antique Sepa tone and the soft edge was some cheap disc that came with a greating card kit bought for less then $20.00 Quick, easy and fun. More progress on the truck soon, Merk Edited July 3, 2008 by Merk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
