Taken in La Jolla, CA - Hasselblad 500 C/M - Fuji Reala 100 Film

Beautiful, Chris. I think I am transforming into a fly with no color vision.

 

[David Mitchell]

18% gray is my favorite

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Chris, superb. Looks like a predator, the car that is, a shark like quality. The tiles would make a good backdrop for fashion photo's.

One question, how do you carry the Hassy around?

 

[Beth Carter]

i'll take a red one, since you're asking.

Thanks - Very carefully Julian!

But seriously - I keep it in a Billingham 550 - or if I'm mid-shoot I have it hanging off my tripod over my shoulder

 

[Pete Askew]

What a difference. I like it though.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Thanks Pete - I sent the owner of the Corvette both the color and B&W versions, and he preferred the B&W

 

[Darren Bradley]

This is that tile wall in front of Gracie jiu-jitsu on Eads, right? I'd think the color version would really pop behind it. Did you know the owner the Corvette, or did he happen to already be parked there?

Great shot, in any case. But what's a former Porsche owner doing photographing Corvettes? That's heresy.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

You are correct sir - got it in one!

The Corvette just happened to be there, so I figured I'd use it - then the owner came out and chatted after he saw me shooting film - the car was brand new, so I offered him an email of the finished shot as a thank you.

Well, very nice, even if it is a Vette And I do prefer the color version in this. I think the black is perfect against the color backdrop.
