Thread: Camaros from the East Coast

These are different Camaros I have photographed ever since I started my passion of photographing cars! I am starting to go through my files, and will post some each time I log on! If I happen to know anything about the car, I will note that as well

ENJOY!

These first pictures are from the First State Nationals at the Dover Speedway, this past summer. While the show itself was a bomb, (LONG story there...) there were some REALLY sweet rides there, several of them being Camaros. Here's a start...

Oh my God WOW Michele you are an incredible photographer!!! I love the editing you did and special effects it really turns the Camaros into amazing artwork. Do you use alot of photoshop? If so which version do you use. I use photoshop CS5 and love it so many great editing tools an artist-Camarolover-photographer can spend all day fine-tuning and tweaking the pics! lol

YES PLEASE Keep posting more, I love love love seeing photos like this they get me all excited!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

Believe it or not, I am still stuck using Photoshop 6! I have a couple other programs I use, but mainly I am a Photoshop girl! I would LOVE CS 5... if the price would be reachable! Need a new job first...but what I have works for now. As far as how much photoshop I use, for me it depends on the situation. With me, I am doing alot of location shooting where I can't control the area or weather, so that has a great deal to do with it. The pics that I took at First State, I had hoped on selling, since I was part of a team that had a deal with the promoter to do stuff with the motorcycles, they brought me along for the cars. I wanted to give the owners something unique, but also, I wanted to find a creative way to get rid of the people and parking lot in the background. They always park those cars so close together....
I have been going through all my car pics, its pretty neat to see how much I have fine tuned my technique over the years. Found one from 2005 and almost cringed, had to tweak it a bit. Its my passion for sure. If I had just done things a bit different, I could have done this as a living :-)

Here are a few more from First State Nationals at Dover Speedway, Dover, Delaware

This one was at a car show we just happened upon, in Boones Mill, VA, in 2005

This one was on display at zMax Dragstrip, won Best in Show at the 2009 Charlotte Auto Fair

Wow beautiful Michele! How in the world did you take photo number 2 of that first set of the blue Camaro? Were you driving along side the Camaro or did you have a suction cup rig???

That's all photoshop, my friend! I got down on the pavement, took the shot, then cut it all out in photoshop, and in the background, put the radial zoom filter on it. With that angle I was shooting, I managed to get all asphalt, it really looks like its running! :-) One of my fave shots of that show!
