Chrome & Rust

Chrome & Rust Ford Fairlane
After a recent visit to the beach I decided to take a short-cut on the way home. That's why I spotted this rusty Ford Fairlane and decided that it was time to try a Brenizer-method photo with the new 85mm lens. The owner was a good sport because I suggested we would shoot at a nearby parking lot, and that's what we did. The car looked very familiar, as did the owner. Turns out he (and the car), was at the big meet at Vegabaren a month ago. This is umpteen photos stitched together, the effect is quite striking the Ford Fairlane looks almost like a toy car.

I'm amazed at how many classic cars that can be found in Sweden. How did they get there?

It does, and the effect is improved by the limited depth of field. You put the 85 to good use.

I don't know if it is possible to reverse the rusting process.

Thank you for your comment on my site today about private beaches. I agree with you and added a little clarification to my post to point out that in Costa Rica every beach is public. While a resort can put out lounge chairs on the sand, anybody can walk by or use the beach next to the resort's chairs.

Precis som du skriver får bilderna effekten att bilen ser ut som en leksaksbil. Häftigt! Jag gissar att det har att göra med ditt nya 85 mm-objektiv.

Cool bil för övrigt. Det måste inte vara mint condition på allt för att det ska vara snyggt.

Jeg liker måten du har fotografert på, hvor fokuset er...

Selv med vår lille bil kan jeg se gleden over denne spesielle utgaven!:)

It has seen better days; as you say 'chrome and rust'.

We import 5000 classic cars from the US every year and have done so for a very long time. There are more vintage cars here now than in the US!

I was invited to a party by the owner of this car, it was his vintage car club that were partying, unfortunately I couldn't make it, maybe next time.

Yes, it's fun playing around with the new lens although it can be a bit time consuming.
