Friends of mine are involved in a charity fundraiser at a Mustang Car show near Harrisburg next week. I planned on going. There will be over 400 mustangs there. It's really amazing.

Anyway, they happened to see my pic of my car, and asked if they could use the photo on the banner for the show! That's cool.

Here's the pic. The only post processing done was to take a few of the squashed bugs off the grill.

Please comment. It was originally going to be for the 30 second exposure challenge, but I didn't like some of the noise in the photo.

I concure with buzz.

Clean the bg as much as possible.

I am working on that now. I will update the pic as soon as I am done.

It's done. Please look again.

You may have to hit F5 to refresh the image. I did.

lol. you changed the original image. I read the second post about the trees and I thought "what the hell, I don't see any trees" I thought my monitor needed some serious recalibration ;)

Sorry. I'm still new here. I didn't want to have crummy pics in my portfolio. I like the edited one better.

I think it's a decent shot, but not sure it's really poster-worthy...

It's too dark in most places and the lighting is just so uneven...and there are different types of lighting everywhere...but as long as they like it.

Nice job.

Now drop in a sexy, bikini wearing, big chested blonde, a twelve pack of beer, and a wild horse and I'll buy your car.

Fortunately, the people paying for the banner think otherwise ...

Is the show at Carlisle? Been there several times for Spring summer or fall, the big swapmeets. Never been there for a specialty show.

How did you do/get the star effect on the lights? Lens flare or star filter or PS or just happened that way? (I like it)
