Classic Cars


Generally, I have no interest in cars, but classic cars...
well, that's another story.
When my husband asked if I wanted to go to the local classic car show,
my answer was "Yes!" and I got my camera bag ready.



The cars exhibited many of the qualities that I hunt for - 
vivid color, graceful shapes, reflections, and abstract patterns.





Beautiful, rich value contrasts, too.





Company is coming, so I may not be back till next week.
Hope your week is happy!

    Oh Anna,
    Did you ever to to town on these ones: everyone of them an original perspective.
    Your lens certainly did these immaculate beauties proud.

    I smile as I read this Anna, as I have no real interest in cars either, but a couple of weeks ago, we visited a classic car museum, and it was amazing. These photographs are wonderful, and I love the angles/compositions you chose to photograph these wonderful classics. Really, really fantastic!

    Thank you so much for sharing these today at The Creative Exchange.

    Have a wonderful day!

    I love that very first B&W shot, with the two gentlemen in the background, which just makes it for me. Love the shot with the reflections also.

    Sundays are classic car days here during the summer. There is a nostalgic beauty that catches my heart seeing a senior couple cruising in a '57 Chevy complete with her bonnet tied so the wind doesn't toss around her hair. Love your pics!

    What a perfect group of models for you to shoot. These are from my day so I can really appreciate the lines and in a way their simplicity. My first car was a Plymouth coupe...oh, how I loved her. Split window and a tiny back seat....brown. I can still remember her at 72 like it was just yesterday. Thanks for a beautiful photo trip down memory lane. Genie

    Indeed, classic cars are a thing of beauty. Modern cars are good too, but it's nice to see a good ol' vintage car parked around somewhere. I really love these photos that you took, good job!

    Your shots of vintage cars are really nice! They are truly lovely! Do you have full-body shots of any those vintage cars?

    I’m really into vintage cars! I always go to vintage cars shows as much as I can, just like you do. And like what Junior said, your shots are beautiful! Though I’d prefer if you had a full body shot. Don’t you have any full body shots of these cars?
