Pontiac Grand Tourer

The Story

 

In the summer I was lucky enough to spend 3 weeks on a Route 69 Road Trip in the USA. This is the car we used. A “Pontiac Grand Tourer”. This shot was taken on the third day at the Harmony Motel in Twenty Nine Palms made famous by U2 who stayed there whilst they recorded their Joshua tree Album. Back at work today it seems as always like forever ago.

 

The Shot

 

3 exposure shot (-1,0,+1) from using my D200 and a Nikon 12-24mm lens mounted on a tripod.

Opened in Photomatix with detail enhancer set to default.

Then modified using Topaz Adjust , to increase colour and sharpness.

Saturation then boosted and areas of noise reduced.

The noise reduced with Noiseware .

Sensor dust spots and blemishes removed and frame and title added.
