Mercury Sighted

 

Snapped this vintage Mercury sitting in my neighborhood while taking Abigail for a walk.  Finally I had my Fuji XT-5 and not just my camera phone.  I'm getting better at taking the extra effort to carry it, and it pays off.

I had my 16-80 mm lens, wide tracking AF mode, PROVIA/STANDARD film simulation. Did some very light removal of a couple paint chips on the hood.  I threw it in Luminar NEO and cut out the background and threw a solar/lens flare layer behind it. Also did a Neon Skyline preset.  

If you look close you can see my reflection in the front bumper!

Patti is showing off her crawfish to me in this picture.  I was using the S22U telephoto lens to get the shot.  I used Luminar NEO to enhance the sky to bring out the texture and add some color and contrast to everything else. I used a 15% film grain edit to soften the background just a tad to reduce some of the busyness.
