Images From Invasion Car Show
I have made it to show three years in a row and missed the 2015 show because I was sick. But I have plans to make the 2016 show.
To See more images from the car show, check out my Flickr Set. You can find images from from two years ago, last year, this year, and future shows.
Below are just the first few images that I have had time to process. The images were shot by hand with my Sony Nex-3N and a Sony SEL16F28 16mm f/2.8. Although it was bright, it was after 4pm and the sun was casting crazy shadows on my subjects. Next year, maybe I will take a slave flash with me to bounce some extra light on the subject to remove some of those shadows.
I then edited them in Adobe Lightroom. Then I post processed the image swith Topaz Labs Clarity to add more texture, remove shadows, boost brightness and contrast.
