Two For Effect

I have found several photo-editors online and I am test driving them on some of my hot rod pics. here is two for effect.

A Hot Rod On The Fly

Due to an ongoing health issue with one of my in-laws I will be posting but as a as-I-can kind of thing. So here is a hot rod on the fly.

I was standing on the street Saturday just admiring the cars and then a sound cut clean through the noise of the crowd. It was a sound of mechanical heaven: The whine of a gear-driven massive hunk of precision honed metal parts breathing through the pipes of ready-for-battle hard stainless steel. As a want-to-be gear head I know this sound and I turned towards it. The thing a big block blown Willys Coupe! I made may way down the street this beast went down and to take several shots of it. As has been the case, at least with me, I ask if I could take some pictures and the owner said “sure”. I talked to him for a bit and he said he drove this from his home forty-miles away without one hiccup.No trailer-queen here folks. Now that’s cool! As others gathered around I headed out to check out more cars and realized later I did not ask him what year it was. I am thinking the mid-nineteen-thirties. None the less here is one willy sweet ride.

One Sweet 63′ Grand Prix

I was at a car show today and have material for a month of Sunday’s, though I plan on only posting for a week my stuff from the show. One thing about car shows is most owners are more than willing to talk about their rides .Oh and they let you take all the pictures you want of them as well. The owner of this Pontiac was no exception. For his hospitality I will post his car first, so here is one sweet 63′ Grand Prix.

A Classic Reflection

I spent over three hours at car show today and had to came home to cool down. The Bride and I are heading back soon and I hope to post some pics later. Till then here is a classic reflection.

A Good Place To Sit

Spent a lovely evening in a small town not far from our place. Nothing like slowing down with a great meal with friends in a town that is kind of stuck in the past. The Main Street has several shops with either chairs of benches out front. I took several of a character laced old weathered metal chair. One is of an unedited and the other I used FX Photo Studio to apply some effects. I used a blur effect to soften the edges, so the chair was the main focal point, and then used the Napa filter to added little flavor to the already cool color of the chair.

P.S. Sorry about the really big font on the second photo……having a bit of a problem finding the right size font a very small-to-me iPod screen.
