Pre-Cruise Car Porn

Went back to Woodward this weekend to see what the action was.

I need some more practice panning. These are what I was going for, but with a bit more sharpness on the front. A lot of factors come into it. For instance, my all time favorite shot is from 2009 in: "Nightmare Cruise" with a happy ending. It's at 1/30 sec, while the blue 'Vette below is at the same shutter speed, but a much sharper image overall. That's what makes it fun for me, because I'm never sure what I'm going to get.

So far, my favorite shot of the weekend is here: Michigan guys - It's time to shoot the "Pre Cruise"!

1.

I would probably go wider in all of these.

Also, there appears to be quite a bit of aliasing in these. Looks like you oversharpened.

I would have gone a bit wider in some of them, except that my 28-70 is in repair so I was stuck with the low end of the 70-200. And much wider would have run into the poles at both sides of Duggan's. You can see them in #2 & 4.

Where are you seeing that? My monitor isn't all that great, but generally, only the front of the cars are sharpened.
Thanks for the comments.

^ you need an LED monitor.

Nice low light panning Frank, I know that can be a Bear.
Now for what the cars look like to me.
#1. Looks to be a 71 Corvette with a big block hood.
#2. 68 Road Runner/GTX with a Six Pack hood. Could this one be a clone?
#3. 66 Vette, again with a big block hood.
#4. These are the year Vettes I can't keep straight, so late model will have to suffice.
#5.^^ Same thing here, so late model Stang.
#6. Now this one I like. Looks like my old one with a different hood. 70/71 Cuda.
#7. 64 Fairlane, but could be a Merc? Do I see Marauder on the front fender?
This whole scene reminds me so much of Vanuys BLVD. in the mid 70's.

Thanks, Bruce!
#2. I don't think so. It would be a brave guy in this area to have a RR clone!
#6. I saw a '68 340 Formula S tonight. Rare fish, & it's been in the family since it was new.

Photos? Or did I miss them somewhere?

Sadly, not this time, as it was in a specially bad spot. I'll keep an eye out for it in the future.
