This is a 1957 Pontiac Superchief Catalina 2 Door Hardtop. I photographed it on grass at a car show and then, using the pen tool in Photoshop, made a precise selection that included the car and the grass. I feathered the selection by one pixel so when I added a second image, the two would mesh together perfectly. The background I chose for this composite is a sunrise landscape in Patagonia. The pink glow on the distant mountains and clouds matches the stylish color on the car. Most sunrise images show a golden glow, but this particular morning the first rays of light that struck the mountains in Torres del Paine were actually pink. Both images were taken with a 24mm focal length. Note the background shows through the rear window. To diminish the contrast in the glass to make it look real, I filled the window with the color white at 25% opacity.
