g'day boz Yesterday I went along to see the WA Hot Rod and Street Machine Spectacular 2010. I like to look at it as a photo opportunity, all those colours, shapes and textures. The cars are really well presented and range from classic hot rods and old street machines to futuristic looking ones (and motor bikes too) plus some that I would call "daily drivers". Of course I am always on the look out for something inspirational for the EH (but not to over the top like the stretch limo one), just some thing neat and classy looking (cheap would help too lol). I will admit this year I seemed to struggle with the photos, there is always the tough lighting giving unwanted highlights, reflections particularly of the dome roof, the crowd (the fish eye really lets you get close so that no one can walk in front of you and adds an artistic lean too 🙂 ). Plus one of lenses started acting odd grrrr (maybe I need to upgrade and get the Pentax 18-55 weather resistant lens or the 16-50 DA* f2.8 weather resistant lens 🙂 ). It is always nice to wander around the car park afterwards too as there are a number of custom cars or original looking old cars that are worth a photograph or two. I am working on the images and will add them to my gallery as I go At the moment previous years years photos are there plus there is always Big Al's Poker Run and the Classic car show or even Maurice Brockwell Memorial Run
