For this issue I have three examples of above and beyond design, neatly captured from the appropriate angle, decorated by optimum exposure.
Exhibit A shows a Talbot 150's 2/4 frontal view taken somewhere in Scotland judging by the green underneath to the hood billet chrome grille. It has been a while since I have seen the latest car wearing a dark burgundy paint-job, en-sync with a well measured chrome along the key spots.
Not too much, not too little; what else would you expect from a Talbot? But beyond all my quasi-poetry in favor of this magnificent design, the real highlight is the fine job the photographer has done it rems of the final picture rendering, a great level of exposure.
Apparently this is an outdoor picture taken under overcast conditions and given the shine that can generate such a high quality enamel, controlling exposure is no easy task.
Lets move on to exhibit B and appreciate an even more impressive image of an exclusive design from the Maranello house: Ferrari.
Elegance is in order, though some more wood on the dash would be well appreciated. Probably one of the most attractive features in this car are the independent windshields that allow for a wind deflection in case you are not wearing a leather helmet.
Again, the point to make is about the correct level of exposure, doing a great job by balancing the obscurity of the background vs the windshield reflexes that might have appeared under improper exposure settings.
The fuselage of the car would have offered a strong source of undesired sunshine, however the picture took good care of it by obtaining a fair balance between aperture, shutter speed , ISO and artificial illumination.
Back with the Talbots, a newer version of the Lago concept reflect a greater amount of light without altering the importance of the grille and logo.Probably this is the picture that would sit on the N3 podium, none the less it is a great subject, beautiful model and particularly it presents a very harmonious shades of pearl blue.
This color is so fine tuned that it would never be beaten for a B&W version of it which is usually a good option; not this time as color wins here. Next time will review more pictures and will find another source of creative composition and proper camera settings. Remember this, photography is for a lifetime.
