no trickeration necessary

No, this was not taken with any sort of filter on the lens. I color-corrected a bit in post, but this is a true reflection on the hood of a 1987 Ferrari Testarossa.

It was a bright day with two red Ferraris. I had a lot of fun snapping shots of them. I really need to hit a car show sometime soon!

Lee's eye caught the old Cadillac. My camera disappointed me on the details. This one came out exactly as planned.

saturated paintjob

I can't even believe some of the so-called facts about this automaker from Wikipedia. They're mighty ridiculous.

parade of trabants

East German automaker Trabant made cars with two-stroke engines and 10-year waiting lists. Zero-to-sixty in 21 seconds: scorching!

reflections on the hood of a porsche

Framing photographs that are reflective really forces me to be creative. I don't want the reflection to primarily be me. It takes a little ingenuity and geometry to hide myself and make something more aesthetic. Case in point, my head was 3 inches from the hood of this Carerra in order to catch the blue skies and trees on Pennsylvania Avenue in the black painted mirror.
