Flashback


Being in my teenage years, in the 1980s, I don't remember vehicles as shown here. I have often imagined cars, such as this one, traveling the highways years ago. I chose to use filters (obviously) to create different effects. Which do you prefer?

Even though I usually love sepia, I prefer the bw in this instance. The vignetting really adds to it. It looks like a dream.

These are both great! Where DO you find these cool old cars?!

Love the composition...subject slightly off center...and the road leads the viewer right into and thru the frame...PERFECT! (And how lucky that there weren't any other vehicles coming in the opposite direction!)

I agree with LInda's assessment that the vignetting creates a dream effect in the b/w photo, which is quite appealing.

But I keep going back to the sepia image. I like the higher contrast in that one, and the sepia tone gives it more of an old-fashioned feel...at least for me.

As I said in the beginning...these are BOTH great! :-)
