Very nice, I think you did well. I like the lens choice, gave a more interesting perspective of closeups.


Thanks, Jerry!! I totally agree with your perspective comment. The lens definitely brings certain elements of the subject to the centre of attention!

Nice shots. The first is a 1950ish Mercury and the last is a 1949-50 Ford and a Mach 1 Mustang in the mix.


Thanks very much and I appreciate the info, cdayton!! The Mercury was actually for sale but I didn't dare ask the price! lol

I think the Mercury was either a 49 or a 50, my Grandmother had one. (well not like that one, but a two door!)

Great shots of some great iron!

Great shots! '57 Ford is the one hubby lusts for - his first car. We see lots of Chevys but not too many Fords that vintage.

...but there were some OK cars there Thought I'd try out my new Canon 10-18mm lens at a local car show this past weekend. I had read in different forums that this focal range wasn't ideal for car shows and would result in some distortion in close-up shots, but I was eager to try it out so off I went. There were definitely lots of beautiful cars to photograph and, surprisingly, not a lot of people wandering about so I was able to take my time and get shots from all sorts of angles. My favourite part of the day was after the awards ceremony when many of the cars started to leave. It gave me a chance to try out something I've wanted to do for a while, and that's panning. Many turned out blurry...really blurry! lol But some weren't too bad, in my humble opinion. I used Nik Color Efex Pro4 for most of the processing. I really enjoyed experimenting with the different pre-sets and then fine tuning them to my liking. And I kind of liked the exaggerated views the lens produced in some of the photos. I didn't see any cars that made me want to upgrade from my current ride, but it was still a good day lol

P.S. I have very little, almost minuscule, knowledge of cars so my apologies for not knowing what make these beautiful automobiles are. If anyone would care to identify any or all, it would be greatly appreciated :)

Seco66, you have done your little ef-s 10-18 proud

That lens is one of Canon's best 'spend a little, get a lot' products, and you have shown how a photographer's good eye and imaginative deployment can use the 10-18mm to real advantage.
