Car show project

I was working on a project this past summer for someone that wanted me to take some digital photos of cars at a show, but make them look kind of like film.  I volunteered to shoot them on film, but that wasn't the look they wanted.  They wanted the crispness of digital, edited to look like film, and a landscape format.  I stumbled upon them again today as I was organizing tlast year's photoshoots, and decided to share just a few of them. 

Canon R6 Mk ll ~ Various lenses

Interesting photos. I'm old enough to remember when those cars were new.

Thanks, John!  While I'm not old enough to remember when they were new, it's only because I was too young to be interested.  I was born by then however.  I was 1 when that Ranchero came out.

I very much enjoy when people capture the idiosyncratic features of old cars. I especially love the Bel Air and Tbird.

Thanks, Lee!  I'll often go through a car show with a wide lens first, then come back through with a 50mm for shots like these.  The BelAir... that has always been the car that comes instantly to my mind whenever anyone says "classic cars".  My dad owned a 1957 BelAir wagon back when we were little (early 1960's), and us kids would argue on whose turn it was to sit in the "way back" seat.  Good times!
