(Words and photos by Doug Gregory) –\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>More muscle-car era stuff and extras along with more photography geekness.\u00a0 Astute observers of my articles will note that I\u2019ve been increasingly using photos that have more than one automotive subject.\u00a0 Here\u2019s the deal with that. Normally most photographers will have a few group-type photos, but typically either frame or crop out anything other than the desired object.<\/p>\n

The problem is when you attend an event THIS large there is no way you can capture everything and in keeping the photo count per article to a reasonable 50 or so photos \u2013 it would take a crazy amount of articles to bring you folks a decent representation.\u00a0 Also I think photos like these can be interesting and unique.\u00a0 Who doesn\u2019t want to see their car in some gearhead publication whether it\u2019s in print or on-line?<\/p>\n

Another aspect of shooting cars is your angle and elevation in respect to the available light and surroundings.\u00a0 I would like to say I plan to vary things, however, it\u2019s more a product of what looks better on the subject at that moment.\u00a0 Some cars might look better from up high and some are more dramatic down low.\u00a0 Some lend themselves to having a big splash of light and for some that will wash out desired details.\u00a0 It really is about what looks good to you then because if you are walking around enjoying the scenery then you can\u2019t stand there and wait for the perfect lighting and often can\u2019t wait for people or surroundings to change.\u00a0 I have waited\u2026.and waited\u2026for people to move.\u00a0 Or, if light is just horrible from every angle on a car I really want then I will attempt to find it later.\u00a0 Sometimes you just have to take a compromised shot.\u00a0 Many times very few elements are ideal, but there are acceptable levels of everything.\u00a0 Typically only two things will absolutely keep me from taking the photo\u2026.super harsh light or a car half-shaded.\u00a0 Hard to make either of those look good.\u00a0 I\u2019d rather have someone\u2019s butt in the picture.<\/p>\n

Best photo in here?\u00a0 My personal favorite is the blue pro street Camaro behind the red convertible Camaro.\u00a0 A spur of the moment shot I thought was cool.<\/p>\n
