Cool old car I saw today

[Ernicus]

While out doing the TPF Fight club I came across this old car....

I am going to a car show friday...and I want to shoot some. C&C on this would be great prep for me.








Here is the original color file unedited. (tilt and crop adjustment)

With busy ugly backgrounds, should I use tighter crop or leave as shot?

I really dig the tighter crop.

I'm digging the uncropped. Cropping feels forced, I like the surroundings. Adds to the feel of the shot, IMO.

That's why I'm torn. lol The old town fits the old car, so it kinda works...but I do like the tighter one too.

I'm sure, and hoping, at the car show, there will be space without crappy backgrounds.

first one B/W, second one no crop! I love the car... oh and your pictures of course

 

[Ernicus]

Thanks.

Here's a closeup I just finished. Kinda like it.

 

[Ernicus]

any critiques are welcome and encouraged...I want to be ready for the car show on Friday if anyone has ideas or tips for cars.

 

[Ernicus]

Car show tomorrow night. Bump up for any suggestions and/or tips for when I get there.

I'd like to come back home with some nice shots, not just a SD card full of lessons for future shoots.
