Working with uninteresting subjects...

I am not a discipline or precise person, and my art and photography tends to exemplify that..
I am not too interested in automobiles, so decided to dedicate some images to that subject.
After sorting thru the lot, I decided to make the images black and white to lend a bit of drama to
the finished product. Comments (and constructive criticism,) are welcome..

I like all the shots, but think the first might be more dramatic in color. I seem to recall that the early Vetts had some colors under the hood on parts that didn't get hot enough to burn it off, but my recall may be less than perfect; it's been about 60 years!

Thanks for the comment. No, it's not a typo. I have NO discipline, or patience, so I thought exercises such as this might develop some.

Why would you explore a subject you're not interested in, or was that a typo?

I really like the perspective on the Healey and the last one is a great catch.

The Vett was a "iron hue" blue...

Really good eye, really good work. I shoot a lot of cars. It looks like you've already discovered they look best on overcast days.

Although I am not a “car person”, I enjoyed these for all the curves and the way the light highlights the shapes. In B&W the form and play of light is really the subject.

Wow.... That was an unexpected comment... But thanks..
(And as for being overcast, you are right...) However..........
Some images were made on a very sunny day.

Doing worthy photography requires discipline, skill, and experience.

Number 1 is a masterpiece! The Austin Healy was a brute, the big brother of the MG and Triumph. It should be expressed in B&W as befits it's personality.

Hmmm. Not sure where you're going with this, but thanks for commenting..
BTW: Does experience necessarily lead to skill? (It hasn't led to discipline, at least on my end...)

Wow thanks..
(With comments like that, uninteresting subjects are tuning into INTERESTING ones on my end!!)
