I love car shows but my issue has always been that they tend
to be held during the middle of the day. Not the best time of day for
photography due to often harsh lighting conditions. Recently I heard of a
show in Great Falls, VA that is held early Saturday mornings. That helps
with nice light but distracting objects are another factor with car
shows. With lots of people walking around and backgrounds beyond my
control, it’s really hard to get a nice shot of the car. So that left me
with one option, work the details. I decided when I arrived that I would
just use a Lensbaby with the Sweet 35 lens. This lens lets me focus
reasonably close and due to the out of focus edges keeps the viewer’s eye in
the middle of the frame.
In case you are wondering, this is the rear of a ‘63
Corvette with a split rear window.
