Galaxie 500

Saw this car at a traffic light. Only had a few seconds, just grabbed my camera & snapped.

Camera had a 200mm lens and a 1.6x autofocus teleconverter mounted, so effective focal

length was 320mm. This is the full frame; I wished to be a bit farther off, but I was driving

& never got a second shot.

In the situation you described, the shot is next to impossible to get. Somehow, you managed to to a pretty decent job. Anyway, the car is a 63 or 64 Ford Galaxie 500. Based on the way the fender tends to wrap around the tail-light, it is most likely a 64.....am I right?

Hey! great shot considering the rush! The colours work really well together and the isolation of the tail light concentrates the shot. A friend is a fan of older US cars (a labour of love in the UK!) and has an Oldsmobile from the late 50's at the moment. I'm inspired by this to get a shot or two of it. regards - Colin

whooaa nellie! a galaxie. 'cept for the red border I love it. (just not a fan of colored borders)

 

This has a nice old feel to it.

Quick thinking, nice shot, good results, 6/6
