OK, Mr. Photo Critic, I already stated these were simple documentary photos and if you had a freaking clue as to how these events work, you would know that its a miracle I even GOT any photos. There were tons of people strolling the grounds, which means I had to do "grab" shots whenever the crowd thinned or people walked away, the cars were parked very close to each other giving very limited views, and the lighting was horrible in the tents ( virtually no lighting IN the tents, it all streamed in from the edges of the tents, I used flash to fill where I could but I didnt HAVE TIME to get it all balanced in many cases due to the heavy traffic of attendees. ) If you have some photos of the event you would like to show in comparison, I would be glad to see them. I posted these to SHOW THE CARS, not as photographic works of art you fool. Regarding the size, try reducing them to 800 pixels and see if they look the same, they DONT. You lose too much detail, and with these cars the details are what makes them so cool to see. jco

I have a fairly big desktop, and had to go to display image only to view them, which, given the amateurish nature of the pictures themselves, makes the gallery way more trouble than it is worth. One of my teachers had saying that was along the lines of "if you can't take a good photograph, then make big photographs and perhaps no one will notice how bad they are". This gallery represents that philosophy. I could have been playing Mahjong and gotten more for my time than this.
