..as mentioned, here’s the first of a few images from the car show.. it’s a classic car show competition, if you’re a fan of vintage cars then you’ll love these.. i’ll have close up, detailed shots of these cars up here and the rest (300+) i’ll dump on my flickr..
..here’s a plymouth hood ornament, forgot to get the car info, i’m guessing something in the 1938-1941’s..
The Plymouth automobile was introduced on July 7, 1928. It was the Chrysler Corporation’s first entry in the low-priced field, which at the time was dominated by Chevrolet and Ford. Plymouths were actually priced a little higher than the competition, but they offered standard features such as internal expanding hydraulic brakes that the competition did not provide. Plymouths were originally sold exclusively through Chrysler dealerships. The logo featured a rear view of the Mayflower ship which landed at Plymouth Rock. However, the Plymouth brand name came from Plymouth Binder Twine, chosen by Joe Frazer for its popularity among farmers.(wiki)

This will be fun, Rian, since I love antique car shows. Things like the logo are so impressive!
Sparkles are super on this great closeup . Super DOF !
I like the angle you chose from which to shoot this hood ornament. It makes a fine “swoop” up through the image. Very nice shooting.
old cars are like photo-crack… cant get it wrong! nice one.
Very nice detail. Great strong colour.
Very nice shot of this ornament. So many great details were in the cars of yesteryear.
This bright red is awesome. And the ornament design brings us back to what seems today a very old time…
I so love classic car shows… the details in the old cars area amazing…

Nice framing…love old classics!

That vivid color is amazing.
Again, your eye for composition turned this into a fine art piece. Very nice.
I have a “thing” for hood ornaments, so I’m drawn to this one. I really like the bold colors and how you framed this one.
