took Dad down to a car show somewhere near Red Bank, NJ on Sunday for father's day and had a good time shooting the details. Comments and critiques welcome!

Nice stuff! Love the detail shots!

I went to a show myself in Scotia, NY on Sunday. Shot mainly fully framed cars but did a fair amount of detail shots too. Was a great day for it!

To be serious though Moose, I do know what you're talking about. I took a good amount of shots at the show up in NY and the reflections were just killing what could have been some GREAT shots. That shot of Mike's is great and I think the reflection really makes the shot, but I had some reflections that were just irritating me. The reflections of people standing around, chairs, the car next to it. I was almost at the point of asking the car owners if they could not polish their car so much.

That's the other thing I hate about trying to shoot car shows, the massive amounts of clutter, its near impossible to get a clean or non-distracting background. But I guess if you focus on details, you don't have that problem! I like that nice star twinkle on the Charger R/T logo.
