Marin Sonoma Concours d'Elegance, held at the Marin Civic Center last year. Have never done this before so I thought it would be a fun experience. All the cars were awesome! So here are a few shots from that day. Used a circular polarizer and shot in the morning with a cloudy sky to cut glare. Caption themes are from songs or lyrics. http://www.mjexp2.com …44_MwpzM#1206350851_htrQH

I think the lighting looks good in both pics, a bit too much relfection in the rear on the second pic but i can live with it. How dark do they look on your monitor? They are a bit underexposed on my color-corrected monitor, as well as having SLIGHTLY too much saturation in the first pic.

I bookmarked your page on "A Few Car Lighting Tips" Thank you so much. I will refer to it when this car show comes in May. Wish you lived closer, would have loved to invite you along so I could pick your brain on the spot. Liked the collage you did of all the hood ornaments. Peace

Agree...too dark. The saturation will look better when you boost the level some.
