earthman's actual ratrod foto thread

MAN! I wish I knew how to get this "look" from Photoshop. Is it some sort of filter applied? VERY COOOOL!

I don't know anything about picture taking but when I was into rock crawling we had a bunch of pictures like that and the people who took them said they are HDR. Makes the backgrounds and other objects stand out.

Yes, this is HDR. It's much easier to get this look from novice free photo editing programs than it is from photoshop. I say this having tried it in many programs including photoshop, and I don't do it in photoshop.

And I really like this one too for some reason...Even if it is running a German touring car anchor...[P

"I can see a really solid looking model a body in the neighbors backyard from here!"

A couple of shiney '40 Fords in back... and then there is this Merc!

Oh yeah, that's it. So many imaginative ideas there.

This one that earthman posted no longer has this body on the frame, unfortunately.

It's now this Scout body on the same frame, to be more competitive in autocross and have a production-sized body on the chassis:

I saw a thread on it on another site. They plan on putting the modded Chevy body on another frame at some point in time.

It had also changed a bit over time:

This one looks a lot like one I saw at the Turkey Rod Run 2 years ago. Cool looking ride.
