Truly lovely shot of a great vintage car!

Ginny said...

Great car! I like the shape of the bumper. Can't figure out what it is, though! I wonder if it caused problems having all the workings and wires uncovered.

The Frog Queen said...

Oh, those are lovely pictures. Black and white pictures of vintage cars...how perfect!

Cheers!

A super, super image!
Beautiful monochrome and what a great angle.
No better surface for reflections that a squeaky clean car.

Hi Judy and Miss Cindi Lou,
What beautiful pictures...I'll have to call the hubby up to see these. Madi has a confess to make...she really doesn't ride the bike YET...she is waiting on a pedal extension for kitties to be invented.MOL

the black and white is so sharp and clear, did you take it black and white or change it in photoshop from color? my husband and I both love old cars and this one is beautiful.

A perfect subject for black & white. I love how you've captured the shine. ~ Calico Contemplations

awarewriter said...

Beautifully rendered. The blacks are so black and shiny and the whites are so white, yet both retain detail. The forms and composition are magnificent.

Kimberly said...

Very cool car!

John McDevitt said...

Yes, and this image is one of the best reflection photos ever!!!

David C. said...

A tonal symphony!

Ratty said...

It's really amazing how a black and white photo can not only capture an image like these cars well, but greatly enhance it.

Ebie said...

Cool! I wanted to ride in those classic cars, never been to one!

I love the mono effect of your photos!~
