I wanted to post both edited and unedited pictures but i wont have time to. Here is the edit the colors have been somewhat enhanced. But the original shot seemed odly oversaturated to begin with. Originally i shot this in a 3 shot bracket to use for HDR but the clouds moved so fast the pics werent usable.
What is it about this picture the corner of the car feels like it buldges out at me, kind of like a corner taking advantage of a lense distortion. And even though i edited it the saturation seemed weird in the original and still carries that flavor. |

Camera settings would be helpful.
i.e. what properties? is saturation turned up?

Heh yeah, if i could give them to you id have the original. Im not sure if i used save for web if i didnt you can save the file and look.
It would have been ISO 50 or 100. It was outdoors on the ground on a mini tripod. Slightly past the wideangle end i start all the way back and zoom in on my frame a bit.
The EV would have been 0 on this shot the other shots being -1 and +1.
The camera was an Olympus D-595Z 5MP. It has a bit of a barrel distortion thats why i think maybe the corner of the car being near the center caught the edge of the distortion at wide angle.
Photoshop Editing
Pretty much consited of selective color on the red channel to remove cyan and yellow. Yellow channel to add cyan and yellow and the green channel to remove magenta.
The sky is where the color was the strongest minor amount of cyan added but it was already overly strong.
Did not mess directly with saturation but the selective colro might have turned up the effect. As is aid it seemed overly saturated when I shot it. In a coupel of days i can post the original.

| I think it's an optical illusion from the hood blending in with the right quarter panel. If there was more contrast (definition) in the hood I think it would be less pronounced. |

It's more the parameter settings that would affect the saturation. The iso, shutter, aperature doesn't really affect that.
If you were shooting wide angle, anything closer to the camera will appear larger than that further away. |

Your EXIF data indicates the camera was set to high saturation mode. The contrast of the red bldg, blue sky, and white roadster in a triangle configuration make the saturation even more evident. The white guttering and downspout on the brick bldg really stand out.
FL was 6.3mm, which with this camera I believe converts to about 17mm were it a FF sensor. So the wide angle is probably what gives you that illusion. Nice shot for that time of day. |

Thanks guys. I was trying to think what would throw the saturation up but im thinking now (this camera has been replaced dont use it anymore). Ummm i think theres a vivid option if you go deep into the menu's. I guess that would be it. 6.3 is pretty close to the widest end of that camera it has a 3x zoom I look at the lense 2 nights ago i think its 5.9 or something? I would have to look it up.
I love taking pictures of my Austin Healey.... too bad the next ones will be the shots for ebay.
