Annual Good Guys car show in Del Mar today - lots of lovely shiny stuff to shoot

X-Pro1 and 23mm lens at f/1.4

 

[Brian Moore]

Excellent set, Chris! I like your manipulation of the DOF very much.

Was this at the race track?

By the way,...Jalopy #2,...the blue one with the magnificent tail fins,...what is it?

 

[Glenn Clabo]

You are like a fish...attracted to shiny things. I like it. Great set.

 

[Pete Askew]

In your element there Chris. I love the details shots you do.

Fish-like Glenn.

Thanks Brian - yes, this was at the Del Mar Racetrack

I was hoping someone could ID the blue car - as I forgot to look what it was!

Fish or a magpie Glenn

Thanks Pete - there's so much detail on these wonderful old machines - I like it more than the whole car sometimes

Thank you Aldous

One more from the day - Black and White

X-Pro1 and 23mm Lens @ f/1.4

I asked the guy how he maintained the matt black finish on the car - he said he used Windex to clean the paintwork - wiping it off immediately with a dry cloth to ensure there was no streaking.

Sounded like a lot of work!

Wow Chris, nice b&w tone

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Very nice set Chris. The orange GTO struck me the most from the shots. Not sure why, maybe I lust a tangerine. The road trip shot, superb.

Thanks Julian - that GTO orange was pretty outstanding!

So it's a sort of stealth vehicle (apart from the strong smell of window cleaner)!

Nice shot though. I can just make it out!
