Had a great family/fathers day barbecue on Saturday. We did it Saturday because we thought I was going to be out of town Sunday, but that trip got delayed. Since it was already scheduled (bad language I think, but I’m irreparably trained to think in schedules) we went ahead.
That left Sunday open for me to roam as oldest was working, and wife and youngest ones were setting up at girl scout camp. I returned to the MSRA car show early morning, and took many more photos. This time I actually took notes! Feels kinda stupid to sit at home and go ‘ehh… what car is this?’.
Before I knew it was early afternoon. Touched base with the wife and concluded it didn’t make sense to go home, only to leave an hour later to pick up my oldest at the Megamall (she had scheduled to work on Sunday, based on the original assumption I would be heading out of town).
So instead I stopped at the Stone Arch Bridge Art Festival to kill an hour or so. Quite a fun setting. Almost phoned a couple of my photoblogger buddies ‘hey come on down’ but then thought that would be rude. Just because I like to do things on the spur of the moment doesn’t mean others do.
I recognized many of the exhibits from the Uptown Art Fair (another favorite of mine), especially the photography ones. Seeing that stuff make me realize just how much of an amateur I am. If I could go back in time I would choose the photography path, instead of the engineering. But who knows, maybe the photogs down there say exactly the opposite :)
BTW, I just love the name Bonneville. Don’t know why, just do. And I suspect I will be just be bit sore from walking all day with a camera halfpack (with a heavy tripod hanging from it). I need an assistant.
For other monochrome monday check here.
A classic shot, well executed. A couple of highlights seem to be slightly blown but the range of tones and the wonderful metallic feel in the rest really make up for it.
Great shot!
Just a 100% picture from you this week!!
Loved it.
Thanks Highton, I always appreciate constructive feedback. I went back and reprocessed a bit. Still a bit blown. It’s difficult to avoid with the all the white combined with the contrast range. I’ll have to leave it with that :)
Back in the day when cars looked like something…
Nicely done, snapshutter. Definitely a “hanger” now :)
Cheers,
