Hot Metal

Late June means Superday. Which means a car show. So I went in search of interesting shots. The weather was good, warm, sunny, clear. And a parking lot full of cars. Which means some hard to shoot cars. Backgrounds are all bad, reflections of everything, people in the way, etc.

But hey, that's the way it goes. Here's a couple shots from the day.
The front of an old Volkswagen Beetle. Has some nice pinstriping detail.
An old T-bucket Ford hot rod. And it could be yours - it's for sale! I applied a little bit of a cartoony effect to this image.
There were a few old cars there, I picked this as my DHCBWOCHO subject. I forgot to record the exact model, but its a mid 50's Mercury. The car was light blue, so it turned out looking white in the image. A very broad chrome hood ornament.

What a difference

a few weeks makes.

After a surprise late spring snowstorm, spring/summer returned in a hurry. No surprise really.

So I took off for a early summer hike. Back to a nearby state park. Nice and green, not too hot and not many bugs. Pretty agreeable all around! Snapped an assortment of photos, here's just a couple.
A old dead tree. After I photoshopped it a bit, it's a ghost tree!
Wild Turkey! In this case, the actual bird, not the whiskey.
