A photograph from one of the many open parking lot car shows you can find in New Hampshire in the summertime.

This, too, is from the Goodguys Car Show of 2016, located at the Fairgrounds, Puyallup, Washington. I particularly like hot rods, but if I were to pick a favorite Corvette style, this one would rank right up there! I don't know the particulars (I should ask my husband! ha!), but if you are a car enthusiast, please feel free to leave it in the comments.
My husband just loves cars, and Corvettes in particular, so we enjoy going to car shows whenever we get the chance...and take lots n' lots of pictures! ha! I tell him he ought to be a photographer for a car magazine, but he hasn't done it yet! ha!
Hope you all enjoy!

When I got my film scans back from the lab, when I saw this one I was stoked how good it came out. I wasn't sure when I took this. But the color was popping. I really liked the abstract look of this photograph.
So yesterday I had to take my car to the local General Motors dealership at Castle Hill (Victoria Road) for its 40,000km service, and whilst waiting I wandered into the adjoining GMSV (General Motors Special Vehicles) dealership - and look what I discovered.
It's a silver-grey 3LT GMSV Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. It is, surprisingly, a normally aspirated motor (no turbo) and yet gets to 100km per hour in 2.9 seconds. It has an amazing power-to-weight ratio.
Yet, in saying all that, I think any Tesla electric vehicle will beat it down the street. Hence, I note, the first electric Stingray arrives in 2025.
Here it is. It is called the 'E-ray'. Due soon:

Overall composition showing the Corvette parade there in Ocean City, Maryland. Liked this view with the sunlight sneaking into the scene and on the cars, and overall how the people are all interacting in the scene as well.

The Chevrolet Corvette has gone through many changes over the years. These two are some of my favourite shapes - the C2 on the left which was made from 1963 to 1967, then the C3 on the right which lasted from 1968 all the way through to 1982. It was the era of concealed headlights and even concealed windscreen wipers on the gold C3.

A focus stack of 12 images taken with the Canon R10 and processed in-camera. The two 1/18th scale models were displayed in my lounge room with a backdrop of an abstract landscape silk painting. Natural daylight from the right and a small cool white LED light panel giving a fill of light from the left front.
The models range from a very cheap Maisto (the blue C2) to a much better quality Norev model on the right.
I am working on the rest of the Corvettes to build a full set. It ain't a cheap hobby! ; )
