vintage VW Show in South Miami

[oscarl62]

This was vintage VW show at Sunset Place in Miami this past weekend, with proceeds going to Habitat for Humanity. It was unreal how some of these cars looked like they just came out of the showroom floor. Enjoy and c/c welcome thanks and God Bless the U.S.A

Thanks for your comment, it was a very good show. I just can’t believe that 69 views and only one comment. Thanks for looking everyone.

[Enigma5]

very nice....I like #5

[CanonWagon]

Some great looking cars. The bug in #3 and #4 is awesome. Thanks for sharing.

[PhotosGuy]

Good shots from it! #2 is pretty cool!

I just can’t believe that 69 views and only one comment. Sadly, that's normal around here. They all expect comments, but can't be bothered to leave any.

Nice series, nice subjects!! #4 looks like it would be fun!!!!
Agree with PhotosGuy, the Double Cab looks like a cool ride!!

(I am slightly biased towards the vans, I have a 1952 Panel Van myself!!!!)

[oscarl62]

I had to take a step back, these cars are very cool. fun show to go to and the poeple 1st class. thanks everyone

haha so true about everyone wanting comments but not putting in the effort to leave one.

So I'll do my part...what a bunch of beautiful VWs!

Great captures as well :) esp. the buses/transporters

[joayne]

I've grown up with these VW's..
Owned 23 plus the ones I'm driving now :D

Love the shots


... and not to hi-jack, but check out Julians (Jules) website for more VW shots

How about some more info on #5? Lens? F/stop? Looks almost like a T/S lens since it has that "model" look to the photograph. These are some really nice shots of some great looking VW's

[Celestron]

Great shots ! I like #5 best and i love the Bokeh ! What lens did you use for that shot ?

[RadAL]

he just around the van in #5... you can kinda tell around the edges ;)

Why is the Bokeh around it so good but when you look throught the windows on the driverside the ppl in the background are focused ??? Was this possible blurred in PS but forgot the windows ??

[RadAL]

its not Bokeh its blurr tool, But I understand his intent and I like his pictures.

[zooyork182]

that bug is insane!!

[Celestron]

its not Bokeh its blurr tool, But I understand his intent and I like his pictures.


Yeah probably so and i like it also . I wouldn't have caught that had you not mentioned anything ;) .

[oscarl62]

Your right the blur effect is from Photoshop Element 8, I don’t have a T/S lens. This and all these were shot using my 30D and my Tamron SP AF17-50mm F/2.8 XR Di-II LD Aspherical with a Mono pod. The setting were Shooting in Auto, TV 1/400, AV 10.0, iso 400, Focal 19.0.
It’s unreal when you go to an auto show the zoo or anywhere to take photographs how rude some people are, when they are not walking in front of you they cone right up and stand in front of you. It just drives me nuts, by the way yes 5 is with Gaussian blur in Photoshop Elements 8 that I am trying hard to learn. It’s the fine detail like the view thru the windows I have to work on, but its part of the love of this hobby. This sight if by far the best link on my favorites tool bar, the information and the knowledge you take away from a visit to this sight is priceless.
Thank you all…..

Like i said i still like it ! At first when i saw it it was so perfect looking i thought it was a model instead of real but seeing the street underneath corrected me but still didn't catch the blurr at first :lol: .

[oscarl62]

thanks..

[ribbie78]

I like the blurred bus the best. Looks sort of like a model then :)

It just drives me nuts, Most people are totally unconscious about what's right in front of them, which is why their own pics usually suck? :D
It helps to have something big, like a 28-70 f/2.8 & hood on the camera. At least the ones who do notice you will apologize when they wake up.
