Twiggy in Marin Headlands

Went off exploring yesterday while the lighting was bad (high noon), but found these old WWII bunkers that I could put Twiggy in the shadows to photograph. I wanted to show off the results of Lagston's vinyl wrap job and Dr. Obnxs' ultimate HP gain mod.

I went nuts with the curves adjustment in PS ACR for this photo and set the saturation to -80% (yeah, I know this is a weird concept for me to desaturate a photo ).


Slightly different composition with color (note dechromed tail lights and the smoke tint on the side reflectors in the fender skirts):

It's the Chinese wedding album portrait style of processing, just needs a soft focus overlay also added so it matches. I've got a lot of photos in my queue that Ms. Speednut has selected for our album that need similar processing. One of these days I'll get working on them.

Ramen!

You must have missed the pirate fish that's the driver's side C pillar on most photos I've posted.
Shout out to all Pastafarians here.
