Fantastic captures. The work that goes in to presenting these cars is great credit to the owners. That said, its no small feat to capture it like you have well done. I especially like the close ups.

Like sharpness and colors.Close up images are really good only take care about purple fringe on chrome parts. About lights looks unnatural for me.Knoll light factory is good for this.

There is some nice machinery there. I like the different angles and perspectives you have chosen. I am with Vyeko about the lights, it is just a little too much for me. I do like the darkening of the background however. Very nice set though.

When I said I stumbled on this show, I was going to a birthday party across the street at a bowling alley. I did not bring my camera bag, so I only had my 50mm 1.8 with me. I was limited on what I could shoot, that's why there are a couple full car shots, mostly close ups.
I think my favorite is the first one with the Jack Daniel's barrel in it.
As for the faux headlights, I like the effect I am trying to achieve, but limited with Gimp (and my PP skills). I still have about 30 more shots that I have not done any post processing to (or I just don't care for the image).
The red coupe image could be something special, but I am just at a loss of what kind of PP it needs and the vignetting left it grayish.
Vyeko, I see what you mean about being careful on the chrome having a purple tint to it. I have the saturation turned up too much.

these are very nice indeed. My favs are the flames, jack daniels and the red headlight.
Feel free to make comments on any of my shots

Cool set, AT. I prefer the one without the faux headlights but good on ya for giving it a go. I really like the truck with a tree for a bumper...too cool. Thanks for sharing.

All lovely images Antiquetiger. Love the first two, and the "boogie till you puke" shot also.
Reality is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there!
