Bugging Out
Went to a photo meetup today on Govenors Island where they were having a VW show, shot with DSLR and iPhone.

1. #4 Takes Me Way Back
Edited on Sun Aug-14-11 02:00 AM by maheanuu
To better times that I will always remember. We used to have a saying way back when "Pot will get you through times with no money better than money will get you thru times with no Pot!" Those were the daze!

Great work on all, but 4 is special!

2. These are amazing, and I too enjoy
attending car shows.

I really like photo number one, with it's slightly exaggerated metallic look.

3. Thanks, although I do have to give credit to
The less than pristine paint job for the metallic look in the B&W, finishes like that always translate well.

The original shot:

Looks like you've got quite a lot to choose from for the B & W contest.

5. Everybody needs to own at least one VW beetle. Mine was
a wreck, no suspension, heater duct rusted out, wipers gimpy. I repaired the heat duct with flexible tubing and fiberglas. I still froze because the stink forced me to keep the windows open. I loved that car. With all those problems, it started every time.

12. I love bugs.
The VW kind too.

I'm trying to decide which I like best. I keep changing between 1 and 5....I do love the hub caps though.
