Car Show at Saint Mary’s County Crab Festival (Part II)

As promised, here is my second installment of car photographs from the Saint Mary’s County Crab Festival.

The principal difference between these photographs and the first batch I posted (Car Show at Saint Mary’s Count Crab Festival) is that these are all black and white in contrast to the color photos in the prior post.

I would have combined the posts, but presenting the color photographs in one group, and the color in another works much better.

I enjoyed this opportunity to try something new with my photography.  I hope you enjoyed the final product as much as I enjoyed the shooting!


Have fun, and go make some great photography.

Car show at Saint Mary’s County Crab Festival

Last weekend was the Saint Mary’s County Crab Festival held at the Saint Mary’s County Fairground.  I love events like these – in addition to some wonderful crab cakes, fresh crabs, and barbeque, there were a lot of great photo opportunities.

For this post and one soon to follow, I will feature some shots of the car show that was part of the Crab Festival.  Shooting the cars was a fun challenge for me.  I have not done much of this type photography, so I was challenged to do something unique.

In the next post featuring more of these very nice hot rods, I will show a set of black and white photographs.
Have fun and go make some great photography.

F1 in Abu Dhabi

No, this is not a Bridgestone commercial.  However, if Bridgestone wants to throw a couple of tickets to the Abu Dhabi F1 race in November my way, I won’t complain.  I am just starting a couple week stay in Abu Dhabi, and as is my routine I was out and about looking for some good photography opportunities.  With the coming big F1 event in Abu Dhabi, these are my results.
On November 1st, Abu Dhabi hosts it’s first Formula 1 race.  And trust me, they are rabid about the race.  In normal form, Abu Dhabi does nothing half way, and has invested an unfathomable amount in this race include a superbly design course and all the accoutrements (plus some) that go along with such an event and venue.

So this post is a small homage to the love affair between Abu Dhabi and the upcoming F1 event.
For the photography folks in the crowd, both shots were HDR taken with my love (the 50mm) and taken affixed atop my newly acquired gorilla-pod (a small flexible tripod that can attach to just about anything, or stand on it’s own).
Have fun, and go make some great photography.
