Shooting at the car show, yeah

Hubby and I attended our community’s annual car and motorcycle shows Saturday. I love photographing the vintage vehicles. I love the bright colors and the sculptural forms. Saturday’s light and weather were perfect, a true photographer’s heaven.

However, car shows have one very great disadvantage: flocks of people. Several great shots were ruined by a pair of inopportunely-appearing legs or other body part. Sigh.

In the hubcap photo’s case, I wanted the legs to appear in the foreground. This picture just says “car show” to me. Here are the brick street (the inspiration for my blog’s title), the cars and the people enjoying the cars. And I think the elongated reflection of the man walking past is funny.
This hood ornament on the flaming hood is the kind of image I’m always searching for. I love the bright colors and I’d like to intensify them further. I enjoy the hood ornament’s streamlined form and the contrast of chrome with the bright paint. The hood ornament bird seems to be swimming with the colors streaming out in its wake.
