1949 Cadillac Tail Light

Gallery: POP PhotosPosted November 24, 2013240 views8 comments

Seems I'm spending a lot more time lately on old cars than on Nature. I realize that this is a "Nature" site, but I'm really having a good time with these images, and plan to invest a lot of time in them over the winter months. They are being received quite well at the few juried arts & crafts shows I've shown them. Hope you don't get tired of them too soon! I've learned a lot of new techniques with post processing using these images. Thanks.
Not too much "nature" in this one, so I thought I'd place it in the Photo Art gallery.

The light, the lines, and the way the leaves seem to be alive and eating at the skin of this caddy… evocative ….superb photo!

Michael, This is fabulous! Love the textures, tones, and lighting. I want to keep this for ourselves in Photo Art, but alas, it belongs over at the POP (people, objects, places) Gallery... I'm moving it over there and thanks for posting in the Photo Art gallery.

I really like the dark treatment of this one. I tend to like moody images though.

I do not visit all the galleries here at NPN like I should, and this is one I sure missed. Excellent take on this old Caddy taillight. As soon as I saw the unit I knew it was older Cad too.......very well done, Michael with the MF Blad also......Congrats on the EP / WP selection in this gallery......

Michael,
This old car has racked up quite a few miles this past week between galleries. You have a great eye and a great talent for capturing the beauty in these old cars. I like the framing and your processing choices on this one and congratulations on the well deserved WP in whatever gallery this ended up in.
