The Tucker Torpedo

Photo of the Day

Today I thought that I would post another photo from the LaPorte County Historical Museum. This is the famous Tucker ’48. Only 50 Tuckers were built, and fewer remain intact. This is a rare car for sure. George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola are both proud owners of a Tucker. Coppola even directed the movie about the car called Tucker: The Man and His Dream. This is a cool car, and makes the $5 that it costs to get into the museum worth it for sure.

Technical Data

For this photo I decided to try something a little different. I normally edit photos in pretty much the same fashion. I hear that there is a new analytic program for Lightroom to show you your trends in editing. I think I am pretty sure that I know what it will tell me.  I love the HDR Look presets from Matt Kloskowski. I usually dial them down a bit, but they are a great starting point. I used that one here as well. What I did differently though was to crank up the vignette a bit. I normally get rid of it completely, but I felt that it added to the image here.
