Classic American cars in HDR

A few more pics of the fantastic vehicles, taken in the HDR setting









I think this guy is straight from the 60's





The King of Chrome...


I think that that is enough for one night, more to follow....

Classic American Cars...the little details

The level of detail on some of these American monsters is fantastic and in my humble opinion deserve a mini post of their own.  The hood ornaments alone are stunning..



Lots of chrome to polish...




A very vicious looking front end...not sure if this is the same type of car from 'Christine'?



How many hours must they spend doing this.....worth it though!



Beast of a Mustang engine






Harley door handles...the ultimate accessory







So it is true....size does matter!



Well I think I can safely say that the long hours of restoration, cleaning and polishing are worth it when you see these fantastic vehicles...

Classic American Cars at Tatton first post

So today we went down to the classic American Car show at Tatton Park and fun was has by all!  There were some amazing machines on display, from the well maintained and highly polished to the  old and dirty rusty ones, bikes, monster trucks, you name it, it was there!

So some pictures, as there were loads of cars, I will do a few posts, but to start with here are a few of the cars......wonder how much I need for a Mustang....







Well...when the chance comes around you just have to use the colour pop...




Oldsmobile, quite possibly 2 tons of chrome...wouldn't like to polish that one up




This car was amazing, a true custom machine


Big Red Truck!!


Hope you like these, a good few more coming up in the next posts....decided I definitely need a lottery win.....

The start of something?

Well here I go, been thinking about doing this for a while and decided to take the plunge....Amateur photographer with loads of pictures that someone might like looking at.....hopefully!  Interested in all aspects of photography - landscape, portraits, UE, abstract, just shoot whatever takes my eye.

Last weekend I went to the 1940's weekend in Ramsbottom, Lancashire with my new camera and tried out a few of the functions

Hope you like them

Quite possibly the strangest character of the weekend


The Allies preparing......


Personally I could get into the whole 40's thing!


The Allies prior to the battle


Quite a patriotic image for the Jubilee weekend


A song for the troops from Miss Marina Mae


After these shots, I looked closer at the new toy and found the miniaturization setting, was quite impressed, hopefully some better shots should follow.....

So, I think that will do for the first post, hope you like the pics and I will now go and trawl through the thousands of pics I have taken and put some more up here.

Leave a comment, preferably nice! and any suggestions for future shoots.
