shady character

i was somewhat disappointed to find this lovely car parked in the shade of the main intersection of the uptown whittier car show last summer. the trees above dappled it with shadow, which mutes the detail and shine of the car. the location also guaranteed that there would be people moving through my shot.

it caught my eye, so i took it anyway. hopefully i'll see it again in a better light this year.

heap big injun

found this pontiac early at last summer's whittier uptown car show. it was overcast that morning, which kept all the stark shadows away. this was parked in the shade, so bonus.

there were a number of pontiacs at the show, and i, of course, had to get shots of all the hood ornaments. but i did also shoot a number of them full body like this. somehow the ornament on this year seems a bit big on the headdress. must be freudian or something.
