'Vette Red

I was helping a friend out with her Christmas shopping today since she's unable to drive. We went into town and parked in order for her to go in and out of the shops on Main Street. As we were heading back to the car, something cool and red caught my eye- a beautiful cherry red Corvette! Photo Op!!!
Ann, this is eye popping. Great catch.

@cimes1 Thanks Carole- well I don't think I'd want a cherry red Hummer, but then, I wouldn't want a Hummer period!

Ah, I want to drive the coast highway in one instead of the route to school in a mini van
December 15th, 2011

December 15th, 2011  
Oh, that was always my dream car, a Corvette.

@sarasdadandmom Oops- I kept hitting reply but didn't see your name come up! Anyway- Thanks Terry! lol- Corvettes are definitely cool, awesome cars. And I always admire their design. But honestly- I'd rather have a classic Mustang- blue. Now all I have to do is become rich and famous.
@pandorasecho I have never driven one- but I have ridden in one. They're a little hard to get in and out of! But it would be cool to drive along the cost in one- that's true.
@kerristephens Thanks Kerri!
@digitalrn Thanks Rick- that's a nice dream!

Nice colors!

Stunning colour
December 15th, 2011  
Wow what a color. wouldn't have to press the panic button if you forgot where you parked in these overcrowded parking lots at this time of the year. Ann this is a great catch.
December 15th, 2011  
Yes Ann I did exactly that..I was trying to find where and how I can layer some pictures but I guess this wasn't the right way. since you're using picnic I haven't figured out what a brush stroke does if any..oh so much to learn..I might have to google layering and see what I can come up with. Thanks Ann for all your wonderful comments.

Nice car!

@cortens Thank you Julie!
@bkbinthecity Thank you bkb!
@bruni Thank you Bruni! Haha- yes bright red and anything neon would never need the panc button! And as far as I know brush stroke is the size of the area you're working on. In some of the effects you can make that area larger or smaller depending on your needs. For an example of that you might recall the picture (my second album in October when I was photographing squares) where I had just a red pan hanging on a black and white wall. In that one I used the focal black and white- I think- and made the brush just cover the area of the pan. I hadn't thought about it but I think on those effects where you have the option of choosing- normal, harden, difference, lighten, etc.- that some of those options might be this layering idea. I haven't really figured out what those things mean. I wonder if the Picnik Tour covers that. I guess I should take it someday! Thanks again- and happy exploring!

@prttblues Thanks Bev! I think Vettes are so cool! Of course the whole time I was composing the shot, I was hoping the owner would not come along!!

@summerfield Thanks Summerfield- too bad I can't borrow this for 7 days!
December 16th, 2011  
Oh, this always make me wish for a pot of gold... Beautiful red!
December 16th, 2011  
@geertje Thank you Geertje! Although I love the look of the Corvette, and I think the same of the MG Spitfire, my classic car of choice would be a '64 or '65 Ford Mustang in metallic blue. Yeah- cool car!!
December 16th, 2011  
Oh! Super cool car! What a great capture! Another reason you should always have your camera with you!
December 17th, 2011
