I got to shoot the Vettes at the Village Corvette show at the World Golf Village outside Jacksonville, FL. Here are a couple of the shots. Minor exposure adjustments is all I've done so far. Any critique and comments are requested.

So did you have your own Corvette to enter in the show? :) Some nice shots of some classic cars.

Boom Boom: No, I don't show mine, in fact, I park mine way out in the parking lot to avoid it being compared to these. Mine is a daily driver and looks ok by itself, just not alongside the cars in the show.
Chimper: I have always like the lower perspective but this time I actually laid down on the ground to get these shots. I love it, it's just the getting back up that is tough.

Don't feel bad about your "daily driver" vette, its better than mine as I don't own one. :( By the way, I really like image #1.

Nice shots - I like the low angles also. Maybe a bit more exposure on #1 to whiten the whites on the car more? I'm not a Corvette fan, but I took a picture of one once.................

lomcevak: the hood ornament on that one is much nicer than most I saw at the show. The whites in #1 are right on for that car. It wasn't a bright white, and the flames toned the white down some too.

boomboom: I sure wasn't trying to sound like "poor me" about my car. It just isn't nearly at the level to show against the cars that were there. You should look into buying one. A good used one can be found pretty cheap and they're a LOT more economical than most people believe.

Have a great day.
