Photographer’s Note
A shot from the Melbourne International Motor Show.I have been to this sort of event three times so far and each time there is a vehicle that is approached in hushed tones by the visitors, as if we are in the presence of something beyond the norm, of something sublime, almost sacred. Individuals come and look, mesmerized, take a shot or two, look again in veneration and then quietly leave.Such cars have a barrier around them and cannot be touched, much less sat into. Such a car on this occasion was the BMW M1 Hommage.
As before, I had left my CPL on and colour and exposure time were affected. I brightened the image, increased the contrast and added the cyan filter on Photoshop.
I have added a detail shot in Workshop for those who love cars.

Hi Klaudio. This is as much art as car! Like a brightly coloured sculpture, only faster ;-). Well captured and nice processing. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.
PS Thanks for the WS also.

Hi Klaudio,
What happened to the girl in the silver evening dress.
Lovely sharp detail, the car looks fantastic.
Perfect POV to show off all the attributes. I can't imagine this shot looking any better with or without the cpl filter.
Cheers

This is a very stylish car and the colour is very attractive. But what I really like is the guy dreaming about having one. He is fantastic. I would have lit him a bit in photoshop. Well done.

Nicely done Klaudio.
Good POV and having the one chap looking at the car adds to the feeling that he is paying his respects.

Hi Klaudio,
Great looking car, I wonder if I've seen that shade of paint before. Close and wide angle is an excellent choice. Interesting design, aggressive looking front is clearly BMW, while the back could be Lamborghini.

HI Klaudio, your POV is excellent, emphasising all the angles of this beautiful machine. You might have left the CPL on, but I find nothing wrong with the exposure. I like the guy looking wistfully at the car too. Very good choice to include him. Bravo, Lisa.

Hi Klaudio
Given the crisis it surprises me how the automobile industry can spend money on Motor Show in Melbourne and Geneva at the same time. I can understand the hushed tones thing: last year mine was when I was admiring an Aston Martin. You've dealt with the light well which is one of the hardest parts in such places. The car is well placed toward the corner and the colour is nicely saturated.
Regards
Nikki

Ciao Klaudio, me again, I think I could cut & paste my comments from your previous post except there in only one beauty in this one. The quality is just as good & impressive maybe even more so because of the Red colour. Did you know that red cars actually go faster? HeHe
Take care
Santo
