Waiting on restoration

[thelps]

I didn't quite know what category to post this, but seeing how it used to live on the street I put it in streetshots.
For some reason the highlights were blown, and no tweaking I could do would recover them.
It goes to show you need to get good exposure at shutter time.

Now that is... Agricultural.

Great shot despite the highlights issue. History.

One of those wonderful shots where I immediately connect to the story behind. Given the overall contrast of the scene you had hardly a chance to keep everything within the sensor's capability. I don't find the blown highlights too much of an issue. Thank you for sharing,

Hi Tim,
if you had not actually come clean on the highlights, I would probably have thought you had processed the image like this on purpose!
So, not an issue for me, and very good that you record such things before they disappear for ever...

No harsh highlights causing distraction were observed here, Tim.
The old-timer would need a serious maintenance prior to setting off, though.

Thanks Peter, yeah, the owner of this and many others is essentially only storing them at the moment.
He has too many to "process"

Andy, I have enjoyed taking car photos off and on for many years. I'd have to dig about in my film archive and do some scanning to post more.
