Best Photo Opportunities in Chgo.

was trolling the board and came across this discussion from a few days ago. check out the photo on the home page of chicagoland mopar connection. it was shot a couple years ago during the summer. the club's officers can let you know how they got the city to let them do it.

It's no photoshop, but it could have been done much better.

The foreground is overexposed by quite a bit.

yeah but it looks PS'd. It could easily be PS'd.

Line up a bunch of Audi's in tha fashion somewhere. Take a pic of the fountain. PS cars in, and I'm sure PS people out. Done.

I'm guessing you don't know what I do for a living.

I am a motorsports photographer (own Sideline Sports Photography and am Director of Motorsports Photography for Time-Life Pictures). I do photoshoots like you are commenting about very often.

While it could be a PS, it shows no signs. When I grabbed the photo and analyzed it, it shows not cutting or pasting. There are no blends, and the lighting and shadows in the photo, as well as the focal angles, appear perfectly authentic.

As someone who has testified as an expert photographic witness more than once, I would certainly say the photo looks authentic.
