Coney Island Photowalk 8/14/09

On 8/14, I took a subway ride down to Coney Island to shoot the fireworks they have every Friday night in the summer. I was able to check out the area and take some other shots as well.

This first shot below shows that these were taken from the beach, as the light from the fireworks lit up the audience watching this display.

For all of the firework shots, just click on the pic to check out a higher resolution on Flickr.

I was there as it started to get dark, so I was able to get some great motion shots with the rides that are at the small amusement park along the boardwalk.

Classic Cars - Bellmore, NY 08/07/09

I made it out to the Bellmore Classic Car meet this past Friday night. I arrived a little late, so I only have night shots from this evening. The crowds this time were enormous, so because my shots are an average of 8 - 10 seconds, I had to take many of them from the rear point of view.

I really liked the sharp contrast of the red and white of this BelAir.

I hadn't even realized that I had shot two BelAir's last night, until I was reviewing the photos this morning. I'll have to keep an eye out for this sharp yellow one next time, so I can get some shots at dusk with the deep blue sky.

This Olds 88 looked really cool under the train station lights.

This yellow car was at this meet again, so of course I had to grab a shot of it. It was one of the first shots of the night.

T & T's Place

A couple weekends back we went to some friend's place for a BBQ. Here are a few pics that I took of their pets and their yard, from that Saturday.
