A slightly wacky Grand National Roadster Show 2012 photo thread

Yep pure torture! Let the beatings continue. Love your work. Art, not simply photography.

 

Dan yer' perspectives are great.
Diggin' this one, really got that bumper tucked in there.
...

 

Thanks Virgil - there will be more. And when this one ends, Lone Star Roundup will be coming up.

Thanks Rocky - those kind of Studies are attractive from just about any angle - but of course you know that first hand .. I hope I run into this one again when it is completed.

 

love your pics dan , im always swipin em an postin em on facebook for the rest of the world to enjoy too hope ya dont mind

 

as promised...looks like 38/39 ford

 

Thanks Hoptup Jalop! That definitely settles it. Very nice shot of it too.

 

My pleasure!! btw after close review i was able to glean a couple of things on it for validation.

 

Lonely Knights are getting ready for VLV and then Lonestar Roundup. You going, Dan?

 

Hey Jeff - I will be at LSR, but not VLV. I can't get out of that much of tax season. We are leaving for Austin on the 10th. It will be great seeing all of you down there.

 

Its a religious experience to see a new picture of a Merc in the morning.

Happy Trails, Mick

 

Thanks Mick. Here is one that is a special request from Joe Germann - the owner of the beautiful Raven shown below. NOTE: This photo is from GNRS 2011 not this year. I did not have my own HAMB thread for the 2011 show due to the great thread shortage of early 2011. If you are interested in seeing the rest of the 2011 shots in a convenient way - please go to http://www.pbase.com/dlgphoto/gnrs2011&page=all

 

I like it!

 

Thanks Brad - I liked that Pontiac a lot too.

 

The B-400 a testament to Edsel Ford, and Eugene T. "Bob" Gregorie's styling sensibilities, and good taste. Perfection.

 

What length lens do you use most? Do you shoot a full frame or "crop" body?

Are you gonna write a book on how to use photoshop????

color me envious

 

Thanks Rocky as always for dropping by. I have a friend here that has an awesome B400 although I have yet to get the killer picture of it.

Wild Turkey - thanks also for your comments. Right now I am shooting a D700 ( full frame) and mostly use my 16-35 f4 and also use my 24-70 quite a bit. I have also had just as good luck with my D300 (1.5 crop) and 12-24 Tokina and 16-85 Nikkor. For anything long I use a 70-300 on both cameras. The full frame helps when it comes to shooting indoors because I can crank the ISO up to 800 or so and still get really decent pretty noise free results.. I have toyed with the idea of writing a how to car photo kind of book but I just don't have the time at this point and I am not sure if there is enough of a market for something like that. I have given a presentation on it a few times to photo clubs around here. I do have a self published book of these type of photos coming out in about 2 weeks, but it is a portfolio of images type of book. One other thing you might find helpful is to view these on my actual website - http://www.pbase.com/dlgphoto/gnrs2012&page=all. There under every picture is the exact lens, what mm it was zoomed to and exposure info relative to the shot

 

WOW simply amazing and thanks for posting. I do hope to see more

 

Thanks Ernest.

 

Evening bump for Dan's great artwork. Nice to see the pic of Sylvester III, great shot of a great car.

 

Thanks Bob! Time to get rolling and finish this up before Lone Star.
