Salem Classic Car Show
My friend & I attended a Classic Car show in Salem, OR yesterday. There were near 100 cars, trucks & motorcycles on display. I carried my SB650 flash with the diffuser down to minimize shadows. The lighting in the room was good but I decided to use my flash for every photo. I shot 52 photos and have them posted on http://bobmielke.smugmug.com. Here are a few examples.

They are beautiful cars indeed, I would take anyone of them and be happy 
It's a bit odd that they all have the same wheels! Did they fit them for each photo

Think I would have wanted to go round the entire show shutting the bonnets down for the sake of the photographer. I love engines but displaying the cars with the bonnets and boots open completely spoils the lines of the cars, mind you some do not really have lines but that is part of their charms. Sorry Bob don't think you call them bonnets and boots are trunks I believe but I expect you know what I mean.
Having said that I would thank you for sharing them with us and I hope you enjoyed day.

I'd love to have 'borrowed' one for a photo shoot! Parked it up on the open countryside somewhere Might be worth hiring one just for that Bob!

I must admit they were all quite beautiful. I'm not a car person but enjoyed the show because of my friends. I'm a die heart biker. I have a custom seat being made for my Triumph tomorrow. Now that's exciting. Photos will follow.

So this is Salem's Lot ?...............I'll get my coat.
Nice shots Bob. Some super cars there.
Probably not the easiest conditions for photographing either with the bright lights and people wandering around.

Patience was the key. I had to wait for the crowd to move away on each photo. There were a lot of folks carrying P&S cameras so this scene was repeated often. My Nikon flash, hotshoe mounted, did a fantastic job.

Great motors!! Your diffused flash tip is one worth bearing in mind Bob.
My brother who is a pro gambler once went from east - west along Route 66, he hired a classic American car for each leg of his journey. It must have been a fantastic experience.
