Oh my goodness, this car’s plate made me laugh out loud at the show. And I think what made it funnier is the juxtaposition of the meme-worthy license plate and the 1930’s classic Ford Coupe. But, even without the plate, this car deserved to be captured as a monochrome.

Speaking of cars at auto shows … it feels like the most common car at most community autoshows is the Ford Mustang. So in keeping with my theme of “the most common car show color is red”, here is a very red steering wheel and dash on a Ford Mustang.

During a chat with some friends, our conversation wandered past the topic of “how do you know that you have captured a great photo?”
When it comes to photos from car shows, I love to capture a new view, a new angle, a new interpretation. Only sometimes does it lead to a “great” photo, but it is a continual challenge to my skills as a creative photographer … to create an image that I haven’t seen before of a car that I’ve seen hundreds of times.
