I think that's my origional color

1971 Capri Blue

I think that's my origional color, the PO did some "body work" and repainted, trying to match but didn't. every now and then new paint flakes off showing the above color

sweet ride, btw

Alright, cool. Here's my 1972, she's going through some rehab.

My new-to-me '73...the blue is awfully close to the speedway blue of our '06 Tacoma, just in satin finish.

Must be a wide-aperature shot.

I own an 80 series and have been on Mud a little over a year. I just started looking at the 40 series section today and it was good timing for this thread. The blue 40s are my favorites. I'd love to have one someday.

It is called tilt shift photography or tilt shift Photoshop.

Cripes. You're right too. (I just Googled that.)

The digital era has taken the REAL skill out of photography .... which is a big reason why I no longer get enthusiastic about any photos I see. (Of course there always were "camera filters", artificial lighting, and "film processing/printing tricks" ... but now "the sky is the limit"!)

Videos have the same problem ... Apparently-amazing footage just leave me wondering how much is faked these days.



PS. I mean no offence towards FJ404life though.... In fact I'll probably go-with-the-flow and digitally manipulate my photos too now and then (now that I know such things are within my reach and if I can be bothered getting the software).

Thanks guys I cheated! I was playing around with this tiltshiftmaker.com - Transform your photos into tilt-shift style miniatures to make that pic. Pretty cool effects. I want a tilt shift lens for my d70 now!

Careful its addicting! One hint...pics from above/off angle work the best.
