Dilemma...

Gland - Vaud (Switzerland)

When we happen to admire someone's specific talent, in whatever field it manifests itself, we often want to imitate it, even knowing from the beginning that this talent does not belong to us and that we could never be able to match it.
At the same time, by striving to learn and to be inspired by those who do best what we try to do, with questionable results, we always have a hope of improving our skills.
The dilemma is to decide whether mere imitation can make sense when one is aware of not knowing how to go beyond it.
All this reasoning, quite useless, is just an attempt to motivate the reason that prompted me to take some pictures quite different from my usual ones.
There is a very good photographer who has been posting the most beautiful photos of cars I have ever seen on PBase for some time. Even if cars don't fascinate me that much, I am always enchanted to admire what he can do with them in photography. The way in which he knows how to enhance the details, use the light reflected on the bodywork, emphasize the shapes fascinates me and fills me with admiration.
Today, returning from one of my walks, I found myself in front of a rather peculiar car, with only three wheels and suddenly I thought about the photos of Dan Greenberg and what he would be able to do.
That's all.
I wanted to try.

nice shots
beautiful work

Wow, Marisa! Thank you for all of that. You did an admirable job of artistically portraying this beautiful and strange vehicle. These have your distinctive style and I would have been very proud to have produced both of them. ~VVV~

Unusual but very beautiful car, and in my favourite colour too, so what is not to love. Your photography excels at showing this fine piece of machinery at its best. VV

Nice! I'd love to ride in this. BV

I also agree with everything you have said here. Yes, Dan is amazing at car photography but there is nothing wrong with gleaning some of his subject matter and skills and make them your own. This photo is great with the interesting angle and point of view!

I agree 100%, Marisa. Great capture.

Excellent images of this Morgan 3 wheel car. You put your own stamp on these images. Well done. V

The wheel detail and cowl is defining and nothing else is needed here. Dan exhibits automobiles exceedingly. This is art. "VVV"

Excellent commentary …I too struggle or admire to be better
it different genres of photography and turn to Pbase pros for
assistance. It’s a never ending battle to keep learning new
techniques.

Very nicely done, great choice of model too. The Morgan is unique and wonderful, though this wouldn't be my personal choice of colour.
