Alright last day of car photos (at least for a little while) - I have a stack of nature photos to get back to, so soon enough we'll be back to the bug eyes and frogs and other fun stuff you've come to expect from me.

Towards the end of the day I spent at the PVGP, we wandered up to the paddock area where the drivers are able to work on their vehicles between races. Most of the photos I took up there didn't turn out as well as I would have liked, but this one turned out nice. Oddly enough, my father-in-law took an almost identical shot.

Technical Data: Canon EOS 7D, Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II at 57mm, 1/25 sec at f/14.1. OS Mode 1. ISO 200. No post production. 2010 Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix Car Show, Pittsburgh, PA.

There's just something cool about that engine, I guess.

If you haven't seen them, I'd recommend checking out the other posts in this set (part 1, 2, 3, and 4).

Remember - the whole point of this exercise was to challenge myself to try something new. Whether or not I managed to get great shots wasn't the most important part, but coming away with some photos I really liked is a nice bonus.

So get out there and try something new, you might just surprise yourself and find something new that you enjoy!
