Photographing the Supra made me want to shoot one of my other favorite cars in my collection, the FJ Cruiser!
Love seeing these on the road. They were ahead of their time what with vehicles like the new Ford Bronco coming out.
These cars look great paying tribute to the original Landcruisers while still looking modern enough and the design still holding up today imo! Already a classic in my book!
was going for a rain foresty kinda vibe so i actually color balanced it by taking out a lot of the red to highlight the green, threw in some sharpening and clarity to make it pop as well as adding some vibrance and saturation to bring out the yellow. added some contrast to try and capture the cool sheen detail of the actual rubber wheels that this model comes with! also cool details like the rough and almost crumbly texture of the brick gives it that sort of Mayan ancient ruin feel?? which i think helps in giving the FJ the image of it being able to go anywhere with its offroad capabilities! also the overhang of the bricks i think helps with a sense of height like pictures of trucks you'd see at the edge of a cliff
also wanted to compare the photo above (nikon d40) to a photo i had taken of the same car with a sony rx100v point and shoot almost 3 years ago and I gotta say my d40 camera isn't that bad (the zoom lens like i said before also helps me too) was going for a top of mountain sunrise vibe for the pic below but i feel like my editing skills have sort of improved too? along with my composition
