1 I start at the vendors area, just to get it out of the way before I start taking pix of the cars. There's some interesting stuff in this part of the show, but I have to draw the line somewhere, so most of the items here are not saved for posterity photos.
| 2 Now this caught my eye, despite it being apart from the rest of the autos.
| 3 Technically, this was in the vendors section. Maybe it's for sale. It could make a cool project.
| 4 Typical of most car shows, Camaros are a fave of mine. But many of them are run-of-the-mill. It's gotten to the point where I don't shoot pix of many of the cars, simply because they're ordinary.

5 I'm not a fan of automatic trannys, but they're the transmission of the future and the present! This one is equipped with an auto.
| 6 Taking pix at car shows presents many problems. Lighting being the biggest. The sun is behind many of the cars. Since I don't carry, or own a reflecting umbrella, I use my flash to help neutralize the shadows. Taking photos of the backs of the cars would not provide much interest for any viewers!
| 7 I'm not a fan of four door vehicles, but some are kool no matter how many entry points they possess.
| 8 This guy's working on his chopper. I didn't get to ask what it was...or is.
|
9 I brought along a note pad so I could get the facts straight, but if I get too caught-up to write anything down, what good is it? I forgot to take notes of the first few wheels I saw, so I have to skip over the details and let the pix do the talking.
| 10 I'm not sure what it is, but it's bold and red!
| 11 As a kid growing up, The Monkeemobile was always one of my favorite TV cars. It was only reently that I learned that George Barris did NOT kustomize it!
| 12 Aside from the fact that it's red, I'd love to take this for a drive!
|
13 Ya gotta love the Kustoms of the '60's!
| 14 I'm not sure if this blower is functional or not, but it sure enhances the looks of this Pontiac!
| 15 This is a mean looking, straight axle, gasser-style rod.
| 16 Here's a Mad Max style interceptor, that's not true to the movie version.
|
17 Here's another example of how the position of the sun plays havoc on the photographer. The front of the truck is facing the wrong way, leaving it buried in shadow, making an uninteresting shot.
| 18 Here's some nice pinstripe work.
| 19 More on the same car.
| 20 And here's the big shot.
|
21 Yep, it's got four doors, and it's brown but it has potential!
| 22 Now this is kool just the way it is!
| 23 I'm not heavily into this generation of Camaros, but check out the size of that blower!
| 24 That's one monster huffer!
