While our visitors from New Zealand were here last weekend, one of the spots we hit here in Calgary was Heritage Park. Going to Heritage Park is like taking a step back in time and it shows how some of the earliest Calgarians lived and worked. Probably the coolest part of the entire park is Gasoline Alley where a very large number of old vehicles are on display. I’m not a vintage car buff by any means, but I can definitely appreciate the beauty in these old cars. This week I’ll showcase a few detail shots of these vehicles here on the blog.
The car below is an L-29 Cord and was probably my favourite in the entire place. Such beauty and elegance – they just don’t make ’em like they used to 😉
Equipment:
– Canon EOS 5D Mark II
– Canon 50mm f/1.4
– BlackRapid RS-4 Camera Strap
I do so love old cars. They have so much character that the vehicles of today lack. I love the old straps used in this shot to help keep the tire in place. Fantastic stuff, Heath!
Wonderful framing and colors Heath
I’m with you on the not being a car buff thing but can definitely see the beauty in these. Love focus here and awesome bokeh’d lights.
So much class! Love the color.
Love the color and that is some sweet bokeh! nice shot bud.
Love the composition and the DoF in this shot Heath. These old cars are just so incredible in their design and details.
I’ve been taking a lot of automotive images this summer, Heath, and I really appreciate what you have done with this image. I like the angle, the detail and your processing on this.
Gorgeous red color.
Sweet capture, lovin’ all that red and the DoF!
old school leather trim is so tasty!!!
Great comp and color on this shot Heath! Sick DoF!
Really well done. Love the colors and the lighting is perfect
Great shot of this Cord! I think the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum in Auburn,Indiana has a similar car which was once owned by Frank Lloyd Wright. I really like the details on these older cars and you captured them nicely!
