Blast from the past

My parents have two Model A Fords and were going on a cruise this morning with their club, so I offered to tag along and snap some pictures of the trip!

2 is my favourite - but love 'em all!

Lovely set you got there and beautiful cars. #3 & #6 are especially good because they give you the feeling that its actually the time-line when these cars are from. Must be a great feeling driving them.

Great pics ! Brings back memories as I learned to drive in my brother's '31 Model A. Thanks for posting.

3 would be great if you cloned out the shadow of the unseen front car that enters the frame. Nice colors and scene. I really like 5 also.

Very nice. My favorite is #5, I love the muted colors and the composition of this shot. If it were me I'd probably compose it so that there was more open space on the right, or in front of the car, I never would have thought to compose it the way you did, but it really works! The path between the trees gives me the idea that this car has come a long way, and it has!

Great job on these =)

I like 3 and 5 too. Nice color left on the license plate on 5.

Nice stuff. Nothing truly exceptional,and yet, better than the majority of car photos. I do love the orchard setting with the blossoms and the old Fords. Automotive photography might be one of the absolute toughest disciplines--so,so many times even with a lot of effort, there is some environmental factor that hurts the final results, like the lighting that was present when image #6 was made--but it's not like you got to pick the day,time,and location. So, overall, for just tagging along on a random weekend day--pretty good results!

I like 1 and 4 for their composition, but then I really like cars. Very nice shots all of them.

Thanks for the comments everyone, glad you enjoyed the pics! It was definitely fun tagging along and getting these.

3 would be great if you cloned out the shadow of the unseen front car that enters the frame. Nice colors and scene. I really like 5 also.

I'm sure you meant #4, where the 3 cars are parked and there's a shadow coming into the frame. I didn't pay any attention to that, so thanks for pointing it out!

Thanks! Having open space in front of the car made it so you could only see trees in the background and made it distracting from the car. This way, like you said, it made it look like the car just putted itself down that path.

Thanks Derrel. Trying to get a bunch of stubborn old people to cooperate is a very difficult task, so I mostly just buzzed around doing my own thing instead of trying to set up any shots. I was actually driving when I took #3 and #6, so you just kind of have to go with it and hope for the best!

#5 for me - it could have been taken back in the day.
