Grey car wide format

Just to show that I am not mechanically plodding on with this month of grey cars – where ever possible I mix them up in size, format and design – to keep it interesting, make them harder and keep thinking.

This week they’ve been bigger and wider. The previous studies were all in the 4:3 proportion while this one has changed to my favourite 2:1 – the wide format better suiting the shape of this single car portrait. Selecting a panel to suit the subject rather than simply filling what you have with ‘padding’ such as a sky can make a strong image out of something that could be rather ordinary.
