34 Ford Pick-up

[Merk]

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

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
