Cars - Red!

2007.06.25






It's a little ironic for me to post cars from a car show. I don't know if you know this about me but I'm anti-car and don't own one. Still, I do enjoy old car shows. I think these cars have a lot of character. And they bring back memories of the cars my grandparents had. When we were little, our grandma used to drive my sister & I around in "The Boat" - a 59 Chevy Impala, mint. Invariably, it was to get an ice cream! :)

The last photo of the fire engine...that's from the town I grew up in and I own a share in it! My grandparents bought shares for all the grandkids one Christmas. Pretty cool to go back to school and tell people you got a fire engine for Christmas and it wasn't a toy!

Stats - D200 w/ 70-300 VR lens, ISO 100.

#1 - I applied the Orton effect to the background only. What do you think?

mybigbackyard Love these beauties. The Orton effect works well, I think - it gives the shot a dreamy background, but the car's in glorious focus. Nice!

Rasadesign Nice set.

It has a good view.

harryOB Anti car and living in southern California - you must be a fish out of water! LOL (: Great set. Are they all red by design or did it just turn out that way? They are all beautiful but the first one is really special. Great post.

vollenda I forgot to mention I took a LOT of photos there. Tomorrow will be blue cars I think. And then some Knot Pink ones. And then maybe b&w. With some motorcycles sprinkled in. Along with few ducks.

ACH365 I love the colors and the pop in this series. I'm not sure what the effect is that you applied (I'm not that good at editing yet) but I can tell you that I like this series a lot. And... owning an engine?! That is just cool.
