I am a “car guy”… I love old cars.

Car Photo of the Day: Where’s my cloning tool?

And I’m not talking about the car! To me this is just such a nice shot. Taken at the Annie & Steve Norman Classic Motorcar Rally a few years back. The classic BMW Coupe and the Port Gamble water towers look great. The dumpster and crane in the background? Not so much. In cases like these I usually reach for the cloning tool in Photoshop and start removing such minor eyesores from my backgrounds. Not today though, too busy. Sorry!

Photo: E-type Tach

Speaking of photography… Here is a shot I just snapped off with the G1, right here on my desk. This is raw, and unedited, exported out of Aperture 3, just to show how nice this camera & lens combo is (14-45, at 45mm here, manual focus.)

The tach is out of the 65E for a refurb and upgrade. It has been inaccurate for a while and that will be fixed soon. It took me several hours of work to get the bezel removed!

Car Photo of the Day: Name the car, from the engine

I really like this photo. I snapped it at the Art Center Car Show last summer in Pasadena, California. However, unless you are an aficionado of the marque, I imagine you would not be able to name the car. So I shot a photo of its engine bay and perhaps with these two hints you guys can name that car:

I have a bunch of shots taken from the Art Center show of some amazing, rare, and historic vehicles which I should start showing here. Stay tuned.

Car Photo of the Day: Blue Skies, Blue Car, Open Road

The weather is unseasonably beautiful here in the Pacific Northwest right now, as any of you watching the “Winter” Olympics must know. Sunny and warm is not what you think of first when somebody say “February” around here. Meanwhile the old Jaguar sits out in the barn and I haven’t even begun my “winter projects list” and it seems Spring has sprung!

Maybe this photo will get my motivation up to get started on the list. What do you think?

Oh yeah… Can you name the car in the photo?
