Hi everyone,
Would you like to participate in this challenge? Just post a photo or photos which will be your interpretation of the theme.
The rules are rather simple.
Your photo(s) should be your own, i.e., they should not have been taken by someone else.
Your photo(s) should be taken during the week of the theme.
You are allowed to do some photoshopping.
You are to experiment and, most of all, have fun.
NOTE: This week’s theme comes with a twist; the idea is to capture not the whole car but a detail or details. The inspiration for this theme came from this image by billz . |

Thanks Sepiana. And just for the record, I have no car shows in my life this week, so I'll be on the lookout along with everyone. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's entries!
Bill

Funny that I should find this challenge just on the day that I discovered something about my 2004 Lexus LS430 that I never noticed before. When you open the door, there are little lights on the seatbelt clasp to help you find where to insert the seatbelt. I know this car has alot of interesting bells and whistles, but how is it that I've had this car for 11 years, and I've never noticed this?  BTW - the reason I noticed it today? I had closed my garage door (no windows in the garage thus little light in the garage) prior to opening the passenger door to retrieve some items on the seat. I guess I usually have my garage door open when I get stuff out of my car.  |

Best wide-angle lens? Two steps backward. Look for the 'ah-ha'. The Mitten State

Great subject for this week Sepiana. It just happens to be one of the biggest car shows in Michigan going on this week in my home town. Back to the Bricks. 5 days of classic cars, street rods, rat rods, and some pretty cool creations. It starts today so I'll be out on the lookout. But I think Friday & Saturday will have the most cars. Last year I went, and they estimated about 10,000 to 12,000 cars & bikes. Plus this weekend I think the Woodward Cruise in Detroit is going on too. |

I am sure you will have no problem finding car details to capture; neither will anyone else. I can't wait to see all the entries. This is going to be so much fun!

Quite an interesting story behind your capture of this car detail. It is definitely a useful one. I like how you added the inset to show the detail.

Jackie,
Great capture! I like the way you focused on the grille and the headlights. That car is a beauty!

I can't wait to see your entry (entries?). |

Well I have been cruising around town the last couple of days. There have been a few cars in town. More & more are showing up. I picked up a few shots yesterday. This first one was a pleasant surprise when I downloaded it. I was riding shotgun taking pictures. I was trying to get that Red Chevy Panel, but instead I got a picture of me taking the picture.
Then we stopped and walked around, and I got a few more.

I plan on getting out some more here before Saturday is over.

Mike,
WOW! You really captured some amazing car details. That hand throwing the dice -- I had never seen anything like that. |

As the personification of "Miss Daisy", I have to be driven everywhere by my long-suffering husband, so my favourite car detail is the passenger seat. On the other hand, I do read maps quite helpfully.  Brenda |

That's beautiful Sepiana! I've been shooting indoors all weekend at a tournament and didn't have much luck. I did get a shot of the mirror from a Mini, so it wasn't a total loss.  |
