There are 400 photos, and fatigue set in for me about halfway
through
a very long walk. There are a handful of OoF/slightly blurred
photos, but I left them in.

If you take a look, feel free to comment on the photography &
processing, but that's not really the purpose here - I understand
that they're just pictures of cars.

I will hold my comments on the processing and composition.

Composition and processing for these images is irrelevant. They are
good
enough as presented. They are not art work, they are a record of
metal art.

At a car show, or an auction the vehicles are placed without any
consideration for photography. Typically they are crowded together
leaving little room for manuever. For the most part you are
documenting
and recording the vehicles at the event. If you have an
opportunity to
deal with composition, consider yourself fortunate.
With what can be cramped quarters an extreme wide angle lens can be
useful.

That's exactly why I am withholding comment.

Not one peep regarding composition from me. I know how tough it is to
get decent framing at these events. It is a reason that to get
anything
close to an artistic shot one has to resort close ups and extreme
cropping.

For example, from this:

...to this:

The purpose was to take photos that you enjoy taking. Only you can
judge whether your purpose was fulfilled. Having said that I figure
you accomplished your goal. To me, that's one of the great things
about this hobby. we are pretty much free to do what we like, and
share it with others.

Agreed.

The next sunny day, I have time, I plan to try IR with a pinhole
camera. (The camera was converted to IR and the pinhole is a hole
drilled in the center of the body cap.)

Interesting tattoo on that lady.

OK, WTF are you talking about??

Ever take a Rorschach test? Look at the outline.

What lady?
What tattoo?
Outline on what??

As I asked, WTF are you talking about?



Fire your imagination. That's what i see

Fire your imagination. That's what i see

What I see is you hallucinating, and that you probably need to adjust
your meds.

I have a tendency to think outside the box. If you remind me, after the
15th I will outline it more explicitly.

Your thinking is too far out of the box for normal, sane conversation.

I can't think of any reason why I should bother.
