Winters Custom Car Show

[DANO Profile Private message]

Winters is a small town west of Sacramento, California. The second Tuesday evening in the summer months, a Custom Car Show is held in the historic downtown area. The quality of the cars is outstanding for a small show and it makes for a fun evening. This show 3.5 minutes and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it.

Hello Dan. Very nice show if you are into restored cars. My long time friend Dick Ryder, you probably know him from Towe Car Center, here in Sacramento takes me around and we look at cars now and then. Winters still has our favorite place to dine out and I am sure you know which one that is!!!!! Keep posting. Tom

Very nice. There's some beautiful cars in there. Your photography is excellent. Have you ever done any Topaz Adjustments? I think these would be fun to play with. Not that I would change what you have, this was very well done, just curious to see what they would look like.

Thanks for sharing,
Sue

Great to see these colourful pristine show cars. You got cracking shots and some fine details of the engine parts.
Most interesting show.

Lavina

P.S. to Sue - I wonder what you mean by 'Topaz Adjustments'

Hi Lavina, here is the link to the Topaz site. I have had it a few months and it is really fun to play with.

Not crazy about people shots, but love the colots it brings out in other things.

Than you all for the nice comments on this show.
Tom - I've not been to the Towe museum but should do that in the near future. The place to dine that you refered to is one of the sponsors of the event, and they offer some great specials during the shows.
Sue - I have another car show that I have been playing arround with Topaz adjust, but I havent finished it yet. Topaz is a lot of fun and creats some really cool effects, when it's finished, I'll share it. This show, I used Topaz's new Detail program to sharpen and slightly highlight the details, works great.
Lavina - The Topaz programs creat special effects and are a lot of fun to play arround with, and they offer a free trial period, so you can use them extensively before buying.

Thanks again, Dan

Hi Dan, I have heard the the new detail program was excellent. Now I can see for myself. Fantastic! I am looking forward to seeing your other show too.

Thanks for sharing,
Sue

Sue - & Dan

I went into your link and found there is a trial period. Certainly looks most interesting, I must say; but am going to choose the time when I'll can spare it to make full use of the trial before I decide I may be a died-in-the-wool Photoshop addict but I won't be averse to trying out some new effects

Again, thank you both.

Hi! I'm a newbie and this is my first post. I loved your car show- really fun! I felt like I was there strolling around.

Dan,
There are several of us "Car Crazies" here on the forum. Great job. I love these items of mechanical art, and did a car show video last year.

There is always bit of nostalgia for me since I lived through the prime era of automobile culture in the 50's and 60's.
Cars were not as good as today, but they were certainly more interesting.

Thanks Tess and Jerry,

Tess - Strolling arround a town like Winters adds a lot of class to a car show. Because it's where I live, makes it outstanding!

Jerry - Sounds like we grew up arround the same time, when a lot of us were "Car Crazy". I was lucky enough at 19 to buy a new 64 GTO, and had some nice cars after that. The cars of today are a lot more sophisticated and that's what I drive now, but to have driven the cars of the 50's and 60's was really a thrill (and many, many stories to go with it). My "Car Craziness" is fulfilled now by photographing an occasional car show and doing a slideshow of it. I'll have another one soon.
