I always enjoy photographing car shows and this weekend was no exception. I don’t pretend to know a lot about cars, but I do enjoy capturing their various graphic elements. My friend Dave and I had shot this event a couple of years ago and thought it would be fun to check it out again. Many of these images were straight out of the camera using using the Olympus OM-D E-M5 MkII “Dramatic Tone” filter. Most of these images were shot with one of my favorite lenses, the M.Zuiko ED 7-14mm f2.8 PRO.
Last weekend I photographed the 35th Annual Wheels of Time Rod & Custom Jamboree. The event is held every year on the weekend before Labor Day. The Wheels of Time Street Rod Association is a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to the art of street-rodding. The place is filled with amazing colors. During my visit, I was more focussed on some of the event’s activities and the components of the car, rather than the car itself.
I try to make a point to get out and shoot this once a year event. It is one of the country’s largest Antique & Classic car shows located in Macungie, PA. Each year I attend I find new and different ways to shoot the event. I don’t profess to know a lot about the cars but I do enjoy trying to come up with new compositions.
Every year the town of Macungie, PA plays host to the largest car show east of the Mississippi. I have been photographing this for quite some time and I continually look forward to it. There is clearly no limit to the photographic options. Here are a few of my favorites from this years shoot.
