Hood Ornament [Contest Finalists November 2004]
Uploaded: November 03, 2004 00:13:02
I was attracted to the hood of this vehicle. With the lines and the leaves. This is just one, of several I took. No fancy work done, other than quick fixes and unsharpen mask. It was a overcast day, slightly moist. 60/22, manual focus, 28-80mm lens using 80. Inexpensive Canadian Super Store 100 ICO film. No flash.

Thanks very much Grayce! I hope you get your home and hearth back in order soon. #890091Stan Kwasniowski November 04, 2004
Leanne gets all the praise, lol j/k Leanne, the shot is beautiful, the film is not the important factor, its the person behind the camera that presses the shutter button that makes the photo, Very very niceStan Kwasniowski #890112
Leanne M.E. Boyd November 04, 2004
Thanks very much Stan! You are very encouraging. I mostly use Kodak or Fuji 200 film, and I thought I would try an inexpensive 100, before I invested in some quality. #890188Stan Kwasniowski November 04, 2004
Leanne, remember its not the film, its you who make the photo, the film is only an instrument. Your photos are always wonderful to look atStan Kwasniowski #890214

Leanne, I love this photo. It is very graphic with striking composition and wonderful contrast in subject matter. It would have been quite stunning with some water droplets on the hood also, but it is great as is! #1887255Leanne M.E. Boyd September 26, 2005
