Flash Back

click back to a simpler time...

Next to the other Buick in Kensington Market, and parked in front of the appropriately named Flash Back, is a wonderful Buick Eight.

70 exposure handheld bokehrama... overkill on this one, again. I think I've been spoiled by my fisheye and forgot how to shoot a telephoto :)

    Peter - We live nearby. Maybe a coffee together is in order and you can borrow my fisheye :)
    chewie - You have me laughing.. Actually, that part of the texture is what has me wiping the screen too every time I apply it, lol.
    Thanks guys, I appreciate it!

  25. DenisGiles (42 months ago | reply)

    Chris-san! I'm in the tall grey building across from the Wychwood Barns. I'd love to borrow your fisheye. Would it fit on a Nikon lens? If yes, you should also come up and look at my view. Clear shots of the city...lemme know by mail, and I'll send you a number. This week I'm home Wed/Thurs.

  30. Bs0u10e0 (42 months ago | reply)

    Great car and nice contrast between this and the background.

    Chris, man, I wanna hug you now. I LOVE all your city shots and car shots and I am definitely not into cars at all.

    bloodi spectacular!!!

  39. christophergreene (42 months ago | reply)

    Great shot! I like the composition, color and subject!

    But what's with the texture? I don't think I like that much, especially since it doesn't seem to cover the whole photo, just the bokeh.

  40. Filippo Manaresi (42 months ago | reply)

    Very nice capture. I like the perspective, the color and the bokeh. Congratulations.

  41. CMMooney (41 months ago | reply)

    This is superb. I have been reading about this technique and want to try it. I need to get a faster lens though.
