The most beautiful of all Munstangs, the '69 and '70 represent the pinacle of Ford design. The angles, proportions and overall stance of this car are absolutely striking. Soon, they would butcher the original pony car, expanding it's proportions, packing on the plastic, and just generally slathering it in 70's boredom. My appologies to 1970's Mustang fans out there, butElanor has nothing on the '69 and '70.
This 1969 Boss Mustang shot was taken at a car show in Simi. I cut out the background, fixed up the grass, and dropped in a view of the hills by my house. I'm glad that the near-noon sun didn't kill this shot, as it's harsh light and shadows have a tendency to do. A nice low angle close to the car helps to give this shot some strong perspective and interest. I've always been pretty surprised at how well the Photoshop work payed off on this one to yeild a pretty believable fake. One of these days I need to go in and finish it up by cleaning up the reflections from the side of the car, so that it looks even more like it's on some plateau all by itself.
