BOY RACER

[FUJI]

This was taken during a Vintage Car event in town........the Background was so complicated I decided not to process it.....until tonight, that is..........I realised that if I could get rid of the intrusive BG it might work as a Low-Key Mono.

 

It took a long time....I really hope that it has worked?

Very nicely lit with a superb mono conversion. Loads of detail in the dark areas and the face and hands are spot on. Pose and expression brigs it to life perfectly. What's not to like about all of it!

[ChrisLumix]

That's worked very nicely.

.......also, the detail in the car is great. The guy shows a genuine happy face. The image has a lovely "glossy" finish.

[FUJI]

Thank you folks........the post processing to remove shops and spectators ( even a passenger in the same seat had to be dealt with) .....that glossy finish is as a result of me experimenting by adding PS Photo Filters to modify the blacks..........I use the darkest corner of a Navy Blue, flatten.....then do the same with a Rich Purple........it seems to work with very low key work.

I reckon I spent at least an hour to obtain this final result......very enjoyable.

Very nicely done,I love the London to Brighton vintage run

A lovely bit of twiddling there, Fooj. Excellent work!

 

One tiny detail that I love is the dirt under the driver's thumb nail - the mark of a true car tinkerer.
