It's the car show season here in Kentucky,and I just love going to these.
You meet some real nice people and see some real classic cars.

Met some real cutups from Aroura Indiana they all had real nice Model T's.

One of the Indiana funny guy's had this dummy inside his Model T and when you went up to it he
(the funny guy from In.) would talk into a wireless mike and make the dummy talk the mouth even moved.:D

Here's the photo and yes that's me in the glasses.

    Hi Fred, love that Purple Hot Rod clap.gif
    Too bad you cut off the front of the car in your 50's classics shot.
    Bet you had yourself a great time at the Show, and you have another show tomorrow lucky you thumb.gif

    Great Series, love the colours and paint jobs on the cars ..... Skippy :D

    Some great angles and colors. I love shooting car shows but since it's usually the middle of the day and alot of people around it's not always easy to find good perspectives like yours.

    Terrific series, Fred. I especially like #4, which relies less on the coolness of the car itself and more on good composition. Very well done. clap.gif

    I love car shows! We are getting them every weekend around here.

    The backgrounds can kinda screw up a good shot at times I have noticed.

    Ever try to get the owners to put down their hoods and trunks lids for a shot? They get sorta nasty about doing it Laughing.gif!

    That's '50's classics' shot is a great angle!

    The dummy is cool too, I like looking for stuff like that.
    Enjoy your life, it's the only one you get.

    Thanks Mr. Parts

    I love the shows too.
    And yes some to get testy at times when you get to close to their baby:D

    The show in Indiana one guy said to his buddy "Hey Harry were gonna be on Fox news tonight"
    poking fun at me and my camera...but these characters were real nice closing hoods shutting the old trunks
    (the ones with leather straps) opening doors for dash shots.

    So some really go the extra mile for you.

    Glad you like them
