Vintage Automobiles

[cliffmccartney]

I spent the day this past Saturday at Old Car City USA in White, Georgia. There are over 4,000 cars there, in various states of decay. I was taken with all the textures and colors of the cars. It was my first time there, and I decided to concentrate on nameplates, logos, and hood ornaments.

Below are a few shots from my gallery. Here's the whole gallery. Here's my blog entry about the day.

Thanks for viewing!

I absolutely love this! The first capture would be in a frame if it were mine and the richness in the colors are exquisite. #1 and #4 are my favorites. Natural light? It looks as if the sun dappling hit it perfectly for the frames.

I think your website is going to eat up allot of my time.

Thanks David!

All the shots were taken in natural light. The sun was very bright, and there was lots of dappled shade. I processed all the shots as HDR to try an even out the light. Even so, I tried to move my position so that the sun was highlighting the subject. I also used vignetting in post processing to darken the outside of the frame.

Really excellent in concept and execution - both the ones here and in the gallery. There is something compelling about time's effect on the shiny and new.
