First attempt to include a photo. This is a live shot off the TV from South Africa.

Found a big local meet and show at Grant Park Pony Corral.



Elder Statesman ;-) Pontiac of unknown vintage to me.
I don't care much for the modern satin paints used on this.



Deuce rag-top. This model served as part of Softy's Speed Shop advertising for the better part of 3 generations.







Mid to late 30's Chev. Don't know much about these other than how much I like the body style.

Got a few more to edit and crop.

Taken with a mix of the Nikkor 50mm f1.4, and the Nikkor 35-105mm macro zoom. Almost all at f8.

It was very, very crowded here, and getting clear shots of the cars was a bit more of an undertaking than I'm accustomed to...

That Chevy is a 1937 model . . . .I once had one.

Great pic.

Impala bubble top coupe from the show last week-end.
Car has been heavily modified.
I'm not sure if this was a factory option, or a custom build. The interior layout is definitely strange...

Agree with you Doc. I had a 59 Biscayne, my first car, and I don't remember the roof line looking like that and the windshield seems to be taller. The body looks to be the same as I remember. Thanks for the compliment on the Hawk Photo. I have a couple of photos of the hawk showing its colors, however, to large a file to post here.

however, to large a file to post here.

Shoot me a p.m. and get them e-mailed to me- I'll get them posted and re-sized if you like.

That old Tamron zoom I picked up a few weeks ago is turning out to be quite the art-house lens.

Tamron QMZ 85-210mm F4.5 Macro at 210mm and f8, ISO 800, 1/320 sec on the D-810.

Image has been manipulated a bit in post, mostly for contrast and exposure, and slightly sharpened.
Picture distance was 80-90 feet. In the right setting, that oldster certainly is sharp for it's vintage.
I need to explore these some more.

This was a guy still fishing for carp. He caught a Goldeye shortly after I took this picture.
The usual Sturgeon Creek haunt...

You might consider Doc's offer.
Another option would be Irfanview, @ Irfanview(dot)com, a free to download and use program without many of the bells and whistles of Photoshop (payware) or Photoscape (freeware). Youtube is good for tutorials on the various features of all three. I use Irfanview mostly due to the simplicity of it's re-sizing options. Step through it a couple of times and it'll become second nature.
