Reflections in the black paint of a late 80's 911 Turbo
- 2nd Annual Downtown Guelph Exotic Car Show -

Photographing cars at shows can be difficult for a number of reasons, access, lighting, reflections, people getting in the way or the shot. I've found that shots in tight, capturing only details are the ones I end up liking most. The others ... well they're mostly just shots of a car.

Classic Reflections
There's something about a Porsche, a 911 to be more precise. It would have been better if this car were beside another 911 and I could have caught them reflecting in each other's paint.

There were quite a few exotics at the show in Guelph over the weekend, but I only had eyes for the Porches ... the 911's

... sigh ...

Photo of the Week 2014-02-24

Sometimes the photographic itch is there, yet inspiration and ideas are lacking. This weekend was one of those times. Thankfully my regular photo buddy had an idea to try something a bit different. Although I was skeptical at first, I decided to go with him to a local nursery and garden store that he said had some potential for photography and a bit of sketching.
 
The nursery has a large selection of plants, cacti and several greenhouses to wander through, but it was their massive selection of pots and planters that got my attention. After spotting an area of black planters and making my first images of the day, I still wandered around for another hour making images of shapes, patterns, colours and shades in the sunlight streaming through the transparent greenhouse roof.

... I even took the time to sit and do a couple of quick sketches, one with a new brush pen given to me recently (and experiment with adding watercolour later).
