The thinking man’s Monochrome.
1920s Bugatti racer, with safety wire. 5D, 100mm Macro, Ring Flash.
No need to hide behind the forced abstractions of monochrome when color does it better. Just imagine how unspeakably dull this would be in black and white.
This small version cannot begin to do justice to the large print hanging on my garage wall. Only minimal processing (regular sharpening to offset the effect of the 5D’s anti-aliasing filter) was required, using Lightroom.
