Description

This is one of many, many cars in the Mecum Auto Show in Dallas this weekend. I took over 800 photos, so this is only one of many you will probably see. I have a lot of editing to do! It was so much fun, although I am so sore from all the squatting to get good shots with less background destraction. Of course, you will see one of the two drooling men in the reflection of this auto, but there isn't a lot that can be done in a convention center with lots of car enthusiasts. They were in their happy zone (as was I snapping photos LOL). The lights were creating a lot of glare spots, so not much could be done about lighting issues either. But, I made do and had a blast. God Bless and have a great day! :)

Excellent work, Connie! The low angle shots are worth the extra work. Didn't even notice the droolers. We love to shoot car and air shows. <>< #11639883

Thank you, y'all! I wish y'all had been there too, Nancy, so I could've met you and had a walk about photo shoot together. Alas! Oh, air shows! Just added that to my list of photo shoot ideas! Great idea, Chuck! #11639892
