Talking with my friend and a super auto photographer, Wayne Brumley, we both agreed on how difficult it can be to get just the photo we want to create at local car shows. With all the people that mill around, hoods and doors open, lawn chairs and more distractions, make taking a nice shot a real challenge.

Almost always, you have to paint someone out, remove a light pole or some other “doctoring” to the image to make it stand out from a regular snapshot. This ’57 Ford Fairlane did not need a lot of clean up, except for a few items in the background that I will not go into. The point is, it looks better than the image straight from the camera. To capture the sunset and the car limited my options on location and angle, so I had to work with what was there.  I just hope it did this beautiful car justice.
