My instincts are pretty much always toward color, but I’m trying to learn black and white, as well. One shot, two treatments.

1967 Le Mans: Door Handle

A guy in my building discovered that I sort of specialize in classic cars. Turns out he has a 1967 Le Mans he’s restoring. He asked if I’d be interested in doing a before and after thing. That’s not the sort of request I’m likely to refuse. So I went out Thursday and shot for an hour or two, and here’s the first one I have processed. No idea what his preferences are going to be like, so I’m going to do two or three looks early on to see what he responds to.

First, a relatively tame HDR look.
