I went to "The Shell" last night & Woodward was the usual "Dream Cruise parking lot", so I sat about one foot from the curb, put the zoom at 28mm, the shutter at 1/15 seconds, & tried that out for awhile. Today I think I'll move closer to Duggans.

I really like these. You captured the true idea of the old speed demon. Love the consistency on the grilles. Personally... given the subjects I would much rather see these cars in technicolor...with grain in reference to the era of film used during the time of each car.. I think your focus really captured the sound of each...I can feel them purring. The GMC in #2 and the car in #8 could probably go though.

I agree on the GMC, but the car is actually a classic so I kept it. It's not often that I see two classics in a shot without a pickup or minivan in there, too. ; )

Thanks! Will you be going out there at all? I wonder where all the other Detroit area guys are?

True, but an ugly classic compared to its companion :D

I would tend to agree, but you have to take what you can get out there! ; )

These look great! You really captured the movement here. Terrific panning and beautiful cars.

Thank you, Levina! There's a lot of luck involved, but it's fun to do it & see what comes out.

Duggans seems like the place to be. :)

It makes an interesting background as it gets later.
