The Dog and the 1910 Velie
Earlier in the year while visiting the LaPorte County Museum in my hometown I saw this antique car with a unique looking dog on the front of it. I loved the way that this dog looked ready to travel. I thought that it would make a nice picture, and it does. The cars of the museum were donated by Dr. Peter Kesling and his family. Dr. Kesling was a very prominent member of the community that built the current county museum as a way to showcase his own cars. The building was later transferred to the county so that the museum could live on. Each car has it’s own story and look, and I have a blast making images in this museum. I am not really a car buff though so I probably tend to focus on things that are not normally focused on by those who love cars.
Techical Data
This photo did not need any presets. I adjusted the highlights, exposure, and temperature to start off. I then made a small crop to bring the dog more into the focus of the photo. A little vibrance was added, and that was all that was needed here. This was never intended to be a fine work of art so the quick edit is the way to go.
