Carmel, Indiana

On the road traveling to Indiana....Seems like I spend a good deal of time out there these days - who knew! The image today is from the car show in Carmel, Indiana a few weeks back....

My blog is still w=out of whack - going to have to reload every image one at a time....Http://HarrySandler.com is still up and running....And I have added a print purchase page.....

Indianapolis Car Show

 Found another passion this last week - photographing antique cars. As mentioned in a previous post I am loving the reflections and detail on these cars.....the craftsmanship and TLC in these vehicles is awesome.

I had planned to leave Indianapolis early on Sunday when I learned there was a large car show at the raceway home of the Indianapolis 500. On Saturday there were over 3,000 cars but with the possible rain on Sunday there were only about 750 cars. There was no lack in quality....so I stopped by on the way out of town..NOTE: The overcast day made the perfect lighting to photograph cars...

In addition to the great color and reflections they cars are a trip down memory lane - saw a few cars I actually owned - a 55 Pontiac, 55 Chevy, 57 Ford and a few others. These vehicles are like old songs and made me think about where I was when I owned a particular car....

Today's post are a few posts from the 350 images made on Sunday...

Antique Car Detail

Three images from the antique car show over the weekend. I really enjoy the shapes on these old cars. They make excellent compositional elements, specifically the straight lines and the round shapes of the front end and tires. The reflective surfaces are an added bonus that really makes it for me.

 

They do not make them like this anymore - the attention to detail simply does not exist.
