Indoor in huge arena type setting with huge fluorescent lighting. Played with my white balance settings most the day.
Nice pictures...the t-bird has a blueish cast, what white balance did you finally settle on?
I was looking to see one of those funny little S.W. birds, know to give the Coyote a hard time.
Image number one is not a Roadrunner, but is a Buick Roadmaster.
Both are nicely captured images by the way. Some very nice specular highlights, without troublesome reflections.

Thanks Mooseeyes, corrected the title. I was thinking of the roadrunner cartoon as I was typing. Thanks for the comments also.
Cjkorb - the Thunderbird is actually white but I could not get rid of that blue cast no matter what I did. I'm still a newbie but lighting is throwing me a huge learning curve.
Let me guess... The Roadmaster is probably a 54 or 55 and the T-Bird a 4-seater 58...
How far off am I ???
Oh!, good pics.......
Nice pics! I often go around my neighborhood and take pictures of classic cars and motorcycles (one of these days some suspicious owner will come out to confront me with a shotgun I suppose!).
To reduce the bluish cast you could slightly desaturate the complete image. But honestly, I think it's great the way it is. The world isn't perfectly white balanced either.

Turn your W.B. to "Fluorescent" that should get rid of the blue cast.

T-Bird is 57, not sure on Roadmaster. Beautiful cars throughout the show.
Thanks for the comments and suggestions everyone!
57 t-birds have single headlights. This looks like a 58 :)

========================================Correct... And it went from a two seater to a 4 seater... TOTAL b ody change... The decline of the T-Bird...
