Car Crazy

Photo of the Day

I have never been into cars. For me a car is something that gets you to where you are going. I have always just wanted something sensible. That being said I do like to admire some nice cars from time to time. Last year just before going on vacation I got a chance to do just that. Every year Lafayette has a great thing called Dancing in the Streets where they mix entertainment, food, and classic cars together. Before the cars parade around the are staged so that people can take a look at them. I took the opportunity to try out some things with them. I had never really photographed cars before then so I really was winging it. I just took my wide angle lens which worked really well in some cases, and not so good in others. Here is one case where it worked perfectly I think. I will probably go again this year to see what new cars show up as well as try some new ideas out.

Technical Data

This was processed using a Trey Ratcliff preset called Grandma’s Lemonade. It was one of his presets that he released last year. I found that with these older cars it really seems to convey a great look. I really don’t use many presets from that pack very often, but in certain circumstances they work really well.
