Description
...well i guess they're already dead before they get there so it's more like a cemetery, but still. Taken in a big car wrecking place. You can go in there and take parts off these old cars to fix yours. Had to do a bit more work than usual to get this to where i thought it was good enough so thats why it's in the darkroom

As you can see by riding in such of these metal death traps, NEVER attempt to drive one of them.
Always have:

-Legal Guardians
-Strange Talking Banana Men
-Or a Chauffeur
Don't get started on Tug Boats as well!

i'd say yout best!!!!
The tone preservation is beyond preservation. The shadow domination symbolized death. You revealed the perfect amount of sky...which allows for peace...despite the gruesome scene. And most of all....the soft gloss makes the whole piece seem surreal. *shouts* "Masterpiece"
What are you thinking!!!this should be a print!!!

Splendid concept. I'd like to see more detail on the car, perhaps it would be better slightly brighter. That would make it stand out from the background a bit more. Overall a great job.

Yeah, you're probably right. I think it would look better a bit brighter. Oh well

yeah ya cant beat developing your own pics it such a thrill to see a picture slowly show up on the paper
and to have full control over every aspect of the final image
at the mo im learning the zone system and how to make archival prints
and its just adding to my level of photography
unfortunately i only have limited access to the digital camera from tech but it is an s1pro
and it takes great pics
what model camera do you have?

Thanks!
I started out with a (borrowed) digital a few years ago, but then i went to automatic 35mm camera, then an old film SLR, then i did some of my own film developing with black and white photos, and then i went from a little webcam digital to a more advanced digital and now i have a DSLR
I guess that was a good way to learn.

Very dramatic shot though, it really emphasises the death in this...

I had a similar car (a renault 4 bought new in 1976) and I had to give it away because it wasn't safe to drive anymore. I miss it a lot...

Amazing shot. I wish I had the patience to learn what you are talking about with the photoshop techniques but unfortunately I just stick to the basics. Brilliant photo once again.

I didn't do anything TOO fancy or hard with this shot. I learnt everything i know about photoshop by doing tutorials from the internet and just messing around with it in my spare time

Ok, you've really done it now. This is immense! The blueness, and the BEETLE! I mean *gasps for air* I loooove beetles. We had two when I was small, they're just the ultimate car! It kind of reminds me of this postcard my best friend got for me with four beetles sitting on this small hill with an incredibly dramatic sky and air of portent. Loving it!

Maybe i should get a print account and you can order a couple of hundred copies of it

erm, add me to the list, i'd order one. well, in fact i'd order the whole beetle collection as i think the other one with the pink beetle and yours was pretty cool, too.
