Detail from a 1936 Mercedes, if I am remembering correctly, taken at a July 4th car show in Dahlonega, GA.

Both shots are cool.

Love old cars.

Thanks Randy. Here's one more shot from yesterday. Had to rush it as the owner was packing up to leave. Was emphasizing the greyhound on the front. Perhaps could've worked the tilt to bring the whole grill in focus. Next time. They packed it in an hour early because it was a real scorcher, so didn't have as much time as I had hoped.

All good!

I used to shoot 35mm of motorbikes, but I was always trying to capture the whole bike for reference not style.

Bikes are usually too close together. But so are cars....

Thresher machine events were a big deal. New ones are now BIG.

I watch Ag News at predawn. They often show old tractors.

We still have massive flooding in the Mississippi flood plain which is farmed when possible. This year pumpkins might be best...

There were maybe 300 cars in the car show that included this Model A. I did a poor job of cloning out some of a post-war monstrosity behind the classic, and laid in a concrete block wall to cover the rest. The camera was what was handy, a 8mp Canon Power Shot A-590.
