Hot Rod KARtoon - Before/After - a photo on Flickriver

Hot Rod KARtoon - Before/After

            So lately I have started KARtooning real cars which was something that I thought was possible - basically warping cars into funny shapes. With each one, I have learned something new.

Fast-forward to this image. 

This old hot rod truck is in our hometown of Taber, Alberta, Canada. I have often driven by it for 20 years and never stopped to get a picture of it until a few days ago. 

Kartooning it meant that I was using a full shot of the truck and from the same camera angle a zoomed in shot of the tires. Tires don't do well when they are stretched out and warped, so a larger version of the tires would help preserve the details.

I worked on the truck separately until I got a tooned image that I liked.

The backgound image was shot a few years ago in the next province over in Saskatchewan. I thought this image would be a nice backdrop to the truck.

Both the background and the truck were shot in HDR fashion bracketed from 3 shots. (the truck was hand-held)

After matching the colors and tonal ranges between the two shots it was time to blend them together into a single image.

It was fun but the entire time I am thinking...what on earth am I doing!?

Well, there you go, something weird.
