Very Busy Photographing Car Shows, Reunions and More

I have been very busy lately...and that is a good thing...photographing Lynn's 50 Year High School Reunion in Ft. Lauderdale, a 25th Anniversary party and on Saturday, our Mercedes Benz Club's monthly social at the British Car Club Show in Safety Harbor.

Members of our group surround one of my favorite vintage cars...a Morgan.  These beautiful cars continue to be custom made at a small factory in England.  They are identified by the leather strap, prominent across the hood.

Though it might not have been one of the most reliable cars of the '60s the Jaguar XKE  certainly was one of the most beautiful. (I can say that since I owned a '60 Jag Mark IX saloon car which spent more time being serviced than driven.)  

All of these photos were taken with my Olympus OMD-EM5 micro 4/3 camera with the 17mm prime lens.

British Style

1954 Jaguar Mark IX Salon

I recently spent a couple of hours at one of my favorite car shows, the annual Safety Harbor British Car Show.  The British have always been known for their unique auto designs and this show always features the best of the best.

1951 Bentley

Approximately 100 Jaguars, MGs, Bentleys,  Sunbeams, Rolls Royce and other exotic British offerings are featured on Main Street in quaint Safety Harbor.

1990 Morgan

These are a few of my favorite cars from the show..  All were photographed with my Olympus OMD-EM5 camera, 12-50mm Olympus lens at ISO 200 and f8.0 aperture.  I added the Gaussian blur in Photoshop CC.

Vintage British Car Show in Safety Harbor

Recently I spent a couple of hours at the annual British Car Show in Safety Harbor, FL  This is a show that I always try to attend, but unfortunately there is generally a conflict with an event with one of my own Mercedes-Benz car club events.  The car above is a 1957 Jaguar MK-7..a classic salon car.

(Above) A Morgan.  The show extends all of the way down Main Street...appproximately 8 city blocks of MGs, Jaguars, Sunbeams, Morris Minors and Morgans.  No Rolls Royces this year.  This is a show of elegant vehicles.

This is a rare Sunbeam. The Safety Harbor British Car Show displays a collection of cars that causes me to drool with envy.  More later...
