I really like going to the El Segundo Antique Car show, held each year near the end of August. It's free and is sponsored by the El Segundo Police Department, which I think is also cool. I first went in 2008. I was out of town last year on business and missed it. This year's show was a little different from the first one I attended.
When I first arrived the sky was overcast with the marine layer which makes for a very nice, diffuse lighting on the cars, perfect for photography. The sun came out about half way through my visit. Yikes. Hot spots reflecting off the vehicles.
At any rate, I had a blast and am getting better and better at shooting cars (or, so I think, anyway—smile).
For this post I am including only a few shots of hood ornaments, not grills, trunks, engines, or full cars. To check out my entire collection of photos of automobiles, three albums, click on this link and then select the album(s) you wish to view. Be sure to click the full screen button in order to view them in full screen, no matter how big your screen is. (They do look awesome on the huge monitors!)
