Following the big post from newcomer Shane (sikx5) I thought I would post my first processed effort from the brisbane motorshow.

I wasn't sure whether they would welcome people taking lots of photos but in fact there were photographers of all kinds (P&S, mobile phones, SLRs) at every car. And people were very careful to walk around you as you sprawled on the ground to get that perfect grill image.

I felt more comfortable shooting there than any other place I've been to lately :shock:

Nice images Rebecca.

I would like them a tad larger - must be getting old! :lol:

Rebecca,

These are nicely composed, very clear shots. What lens did you use?

Don't go much for the borders, though.

Cheers
Peter

I like the borders, it really does bring out the "lines" aspect of these images. Now this to me crosses the line from photography to art. ;)

excellent work on this. think you've really done a good job going the extra mile to make it an artpiece.

I'm no expert but IMHO the borders are an excellent idea which I think provide a good step between the vibrant colours/sharp lines you have chosen in your images and the white canvas that flows between the three images.

Thanks for your feedback everybody :D

The images were all taken with the kit lens - I considered that as I was taking 'detail' shots I should get out my Tamron 70-300 but in reality if you used a longer lens people would just walk in front of you. So I stuck with the kit and got as close as I could.

Hope I don't bore you with a variation on the theme - as much as I loved the BW shot I thought the triptych idea might hang together better if they were all detail shots and all strong colour - so here is my amended piece.

Regards

Rebecca

Rebecca, the images are nice, but the copyright smack in the middle bothers me. I much prefer it on the bottom in a smaller font even if it was a more prominent watermark.
