Car Show ~ A Wednesday Walk

in #wednesdaywalk5 years ago

It's Wednesday, time to join other Steemians in sharing images from a short walk we've taken during the week. #WednesdayWalk is the creation of the one and only @tattoodjay.

I took my walk around a car show that was held at Mission San Buenaventura, in Ventura, California. My images don't do the cars justice, but I hope you'll enjoy what I'm sharing.

If you know me, you know that I often focus on details rather than the whole, so of course I had to capture this photo:

1/1000 sec, f/5.7, ISO 100, focal length 55.0 mm

Similarly, if you know me, you know that I'm a big fan of colorsplash images...so sue me ;-)

1/125 sec, f/5.7, ISO 125, focal length 55.0 mm

All right, for those of you who expected to see a picture of a car in a post about a walk around a car show, here it is:

1/4000 sec, f/4.0, ISO 400, focal length 18.0 mm

This is a pretty cool hot rod, seen from my POV:

1/60 sec, f/6.4, ISO 100, focal length 18.0 mm

No, this isn't a rusty old truck. It's an old truck painted to look rusty. It was one of my favorite vehicles at the show:

1/400 sec, f/3.5, ISO 100, focal length 18.0 mm

1/2000 sec, f/5.7, ISO 640, focal length 45.0 mm

Another detail, one that reminds me of my youth, when we had an antenna on our car. I love the old "76" ball, while my wife used to like to put on seasonal Mickey Mouse heads on our cars:

1/320 sec, f/5.7, ISO 100, focal length 55.0 mm

Low rider culture is big in this area and was a focus of the show, with several car clubs participating. This South Land crew parked in a red-white-blue order that I didn't appreciate until I saw the image. Then, I did this to it:

1/2000 sec, f/4.0, ISO 1600, focal length 18.0 mm

That's it for this week. Not much of a walk, but some cool cars. Thanks for stopping by to take a look!

Thanks so much!

You know I was looking forward to seeing this post and I disagree you do the cars Justie these are al great shots, I have a shot very similar to your first shot, and love that old truck so cool with the fake rusty look

Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :)

Thanks. There was so much polished paint and chrome that I ended up in many of my pictures. I’m glad you appreciated that “rusty” truck too.

It’s hard with all that chrome to not be in many of the photos I always try to minimize the chrome selfie effect but sometimes it’s impossible

That first one!

Thanks Ross!
