Warming up for the Dream Cruise.

Warming up for the Dream Cruise. Was anyone else out there tonight?

1/30 sec.
1.

Normally, as an un-professional, I would have said, you need to learn to pan better, BUT I love the way these shots look! It gives feel of movement and emotion, as well as a nostalgic look. It tells much more of a story, than simply looking at a picture of a car.
GREAT WORK, but then again, I am a novice, so maybe my compliments mean very little...............T​he last one is a bit too blurry to me but the others hit beautifully!

Of course, these cars will be moving much more slowly come the weekend.

I agree with madplower4's comment. While I would normally find the blur to be a distraction, it really works well for these shots.

Frank, it's good to be able to shoot some of these "on the hoof", isn't it? It's much better than always being huddled in the corral of some show.

YES! I did get some nice cars in good light at 13 & Woodward between 6-8, though.

That's what I was going for, so I shot different exposures.
These, except for the RAW processing, are not adjusted exposurewise & are between 8 & 8:35, shot from the Shell station just S of 13-1/2 mile.
EXIF = 1/60 - 1/8 sec, f/5.6, ISO 1600.

Tonight I'll try the 70-200 @ 1/30, f/2.8, ISO 400

Thanks. I LOVE blurs, but usually count on deleting about 99% of them when I get down to 1/2 second. This one was in the 1% that survived:

Great Stuff!!!

I'm getting geeked! I'll be down tomorrow... I'll be hanging out at the MRT Open House tomorrow and then I'll be at Mustang Alley on Saturday... Did I mention I like Mustangs! LOL!

Wasn't shooting, but think I saw you on my way home! I'll be there Saturday for sure.

I like the 2nd just because of the juxtaposition of the 56 and 57.

Here's one at 1/60 that I didn't like as much:

Nice movement ,always good to see cars on the move.

A few could use just a touch of extra saturation. Hopefully the 9pm rule does not apply to Fri night.

You guys need to get out here to Market St. in Livonia, I am looking out of my office window and there are Mustangs/Fairlanes/Cou​gars/Galaxies being parked on the lawn even past my building. Cars everywhere.

Definitely needs the blur, otherwise it's just another car picture. I would like to see a tad more saturation and move away from the glaring white pizza sign across the street.

Frank, the '56 that you showed in post #5 is on the front page of today's Detroit News.

I'm leaving in a few hours from Toronto. I'll be there tonight. I can't wait!!

Nice, was it Frank's shot?

Post #5 where? It didn't make the FreeP, but someone else asked yesterday if I sent a shot I took of their car to Ch. 2 News. Didn't see that, either.

I'll leave that to whoever else uses my shots without permission? The point of this thread was to show unprocessed shots as an example to what can be done.

I got closer to Duggan's last night & still have to process them. Traffic was three times as heavy & I couldn't get room to use the 70-200. Tonight it will be a huge parking lot out there!

Have fun!
