Mechanical works of art. Beautiful! It's fun for me to imagine those racers screaming around Spa or Monza... I find the speed and sound of racing cars intoxicating!
Thanks, SpecialK. Wow - that green car is so cool looking! Based on the info in your photo, I found it's a Davis Divan. More info about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davis_Divan
Yeah, the "Divan" seats four, just like a big sofa There seems to be some interest so here are some more. Steve McQueen's Jaguar. From the movie "Little Miss Sunshine."
Ahh, British Racing Green. I love it! Beautiful shots again, SpecialK. When I visited Petersen in 1998, my photos didn't turn out nearly as well as yours! Thanks for sharing them.
Here are some more These old French cars were on loan from the Mullin automobile museum in Oxnard CA. Not a loaner.
ooh ... Honestly, I almost swoon at the sight of those streamlined bodies. Gorgeous cars and photos! Do you have a favorite lens / focal length for museum cars, SpecialK?
The "really wide" ones were with the 17TS and the "little bit wide" were with a 28 on a 6D. If I have room, I will sometimes use a 50. I tend to think the 28 is a good compromise between angle and distortion - but it all depends on what you are looking for.
those are nice shots of gorgeous cars! and they remind me that i haven't shot at the petersen since i was using a panasonic G3. i got some pics i really liked, so maybe it's time to take the SL1 there.
i saw the outdoor remodeling every time we drove by - i didn't realize it was also remodeled inside. now i KNOW we have to go shoot some pics there!
