1946 Mercury Woodie

Erased everything around the Woodie and surfboards with the eraser tool in Photoshop (white and softest setting), and then applied the following in separate layers:

Nik Color Efex Pro 3 Tonal Contrast (applied to wood and grill)
"276" Texture from Nick Lagos at 100% Multiply
"276" at 60% Multiply

Of course, standard dodging and burning, plus cloning out the registration sign on the vehicle and the for sale sign on the surfboards.

Canon 100-400 at 100mm, F11, 1/30th sec, on tripod with mirror lockup

Exif: F Number: 11, Exposure Bias Value: 0.67, ExposureTime: 1/30 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 100, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 100.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark II
