Vintage Close-Ups

Ok, I think I'm finally through with this vintage cars series. At least for now. My friend Nancy insists we need to return to get the shots we now know we wish we'd have gotten the first time! I think she may be right! This has been a fun series, and hopefully not too boring for my readers. It's fun to find something different to photograph and be able to make viewers see something in a whole new light. From the feedback I've gotten from these pictures, I think I may have done just that. Hope you've enjoyed it!

More Vintage Cars

I think I am almost through bombarding you with vintage car posts. I've spent way too much time playing with these photos....as atested by the last one here!

Some photos got cropped, etc., in photoshop. Others I spent more time on just to play around. This is one of them. I removed the other cars from around it, and changed the scenery in front of the car.

Then I tweaked the colors to make it appear to be an old photograph.

And this photo just shows I was wasting time and can you tell I'm wishing for a trip to the beach???

Vintage Trucks

Recently I posted some closeups of emblems of vintage cars I took on a recent trek to a local salvage yard with my friend Nancy. Here are a few photos of some of the old trucks...and keep watching if you like this sort of thing because I'm not through yet and there are more photos to come.


This photo venture turned out like many of mine do...with my feet covered in fire ant bites. You'd think I'd learn not to wear my flip flops on occasions such as these, but nope....I seem to ALWAYS be out and about in flip flops. Now it's not just Marty sighing and shaking his head at me and telling me I'm going to get on a snake or in fire ants or in the stickers...Nancy has chimed in as well. Each time she suggests another photo taking venture she reminds me that I really need to wear my tennis shoes. Maybe next time, Nancy!

Visit to the Salvage Yard

My friend Nancy had an interesting idea for a photo op tonight. She suggested we head out to an auto salvage company for photos just before sunset. I was game so I met her there.


To be honest, photographing an auto salvage never occured to me. I grew up with a salvage yard as my playground across the field at my uncle's house. While I do like photos of old cars, I never have gone to a salvage yard in search of such photos. I do like Nancy's idea and we did get some neat shots. I am anxious to see how differently we each saw photo ops before us. I'm always amazed when multiple photographers converge upon the same destination and come away with distinctively different shots!


For the first in this series I'm only posting the emblems I photographed and you'll have to check back to see what else I got. For some of you this will be an enjoyable trip down memory lane.
