Always a joy to find some artistically pleasing vehicles in the Lancashire industrial estates. Shot on my Sigma DP1 with a 2 x ND filter and diffusion filter stacked.Big Red rp.jpg

Ha, I actually prefer the third, where we see the incredible red colour more in context with other colours. The b&w version has almost literally sucked all the blood - the life force - out of the image, leaving an odd grey. This is the reason I sold the Q2 and not the Q2M. But, forget all that, as the big success here is that great RED! The car's not bad either :)
 
Big bloody gobs of red was the attraction with these images for sure! Interesting you mention the grey tone, it's the result of an edit in the Sigma Photo Pro software- the monochrome option was far to bright for my liking, yet curiously the in camera jpegs are well balanced.
