    Nice capture Randy
    I love the solid chromed bumpers on these old tanks. No plastic there! IMy first car was a 1950 Olds in 1956. Paid $300 for it. Living in New England, we had lots of snow and for some reason people kept sliding into me at stop lights and denting my rear bumper. Over time I collected more $$$ from their insurance companies than I paid for the car and never did replace the bumper! :D

    Thanks for the comments Eia,

    Yeah, I was shooting a building & I heard the car coming down the street. I wheeled around and barely got my camera settings changed in time to take the shot. Reminded me of shooting by reaction, like bull riding events.

    Hey Jack,

    I can remember running into the side of my dad's old Chevy on my bike, hard. Bent my wheel and I think my head rolleyes1.gif Not even a whisper of a dent on the car. Now days, someone's receipt from the grocery store blows out of their sack and touches your car ~ another dent!!!

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    That's high praise coming from the "car man".

    Thank you Tom

    Howdy Randy,

    Really great capture, and really sets the Mood.

    Looks like the Reflexes are still tuned.

    Very nicely done.
    Take care,

    Hello Craig,

    Hope all is well with you.

    It was pretty neat seeing people cruzin'. Haven't seen that in years. Well, at least not in any cool cars...

    Thanks for the kind words

    Very good thumb.gif -- I like seeing older cars like this in a section of town that doesn't look new when photographed.

    If you don't mind me asking, but how do you get the face nice and sharp, but the rest of the photo slighly blurred?

    Hey Mary,

    I was panning with a slower shutter speed.
