Antique Cars

Unlike Tom (black_mamba) who knows everything about cars, I know very little about antique cars. Last weekend, I visited Blackhawk Museum in Danville, CA. Here are some of the shots of these beautiful cars.

Thanks for viewing.

I had the pleasure of visiting that museum once..... an outstanding group of cars if there ever was one.

If there was ever a nightmare shooting environment, you were right in the middle of it. Shinny surfaces with reflections dancing all around, specular lights all over the place, huge dark spaces lurking everywhere....boy, it doesn't get any tougher than that. And, in spite of all that, you did a spectacular job. That #4 shot is as good as it gets but, really, all these are first class. You captured some very interesting elements and your presentation was equally impressive.

Take a bow, man, you deserve it.

Howdy Anthony,

That 4th Image is just stunning, so very well captured and presented.

You have really caught all of them in really neat and interesting
compositions and great details.

Very nicely done!!!

Thanks, Tom. You are right about the light and dark spaces. I constantly had to adjust my ISO because the intensity of light varies from car to car. I skipped those that were too dark. However, it was nice to be inside in a cool place while the temperature was above 95F outside.
