From my own efforts of photographing
''Bursts'' ,the only way to get near, is to take pictures in natural light.
Most photos are studio lit.9 0643-o51; 9 0348-031; 9 2318-021, from Bobbos
gallery pictures, are others that come closer to the ''look''.

The thing that strikes me about the (few) bursts I have seen in person is how green the finish is. Even one '60 I saw recently, although having the wide tomato soup burst, had greenish tint to the middle of the burst.
Even in some of the non-studio BOTB pics you can see it a little.

terence_tez · 11-29-2007, 11:14 PM

i really like the one in the cover pic...
i like it when the red fade to a dark brownish hue...

Vintage Burst's are sprayed with a yellow undercoat and then a blue with red on top to give it depth !! When the blue fades slower than the red in the Burst .. You end up with greening !!!

Have it and love it! Great book.

There is a documentary on Burst's already in the can as they say ... The famed MAX made it but I hear it hasn't found it's way to distribution yet !

Spicoli · 12-30-2007, 08:27 PM

Hey Bobbo, I have been loving page 70 lately. The color of the back looks great with the top color.
