Kimal Lumber 21st Annual Car Shows ~ Details

******

The cars show here in Southwest Florida have been experiencing some very agreeable weather. The Kimal Lumber 21st was no exception to that. What a beautiful day filled with gorgeous cars. The participants and the attendees were festive. The music was great, there was plenty places to put a fold out chair in the shade. 

I always try to arrive early. There are good reasons for a photographer like myself to get there early. Trying to take photos of individual cars becomes more difficult as the crowd shows up.  Early the owners are normally with the cars so I can get some interesting details from them. The morning sun helps eliminate glare and shadows. 

When I first arrive the car owners are busy doing last minute detail work. I love to photo them with their detail sprays and fiber towels in their hands after all I market detail products with my affiliate partners.

As in all the Car Shows and the Cars and Caffeine get togethers I find a car that stands out and choose it as the “Shine of the Show”. This is judged on two factors 1.The quality of the detail job 2. The car’s photogenic qualities......So here’s my choice for the Kimal Lumber 21st: 

"Shine of the Show"

The car owners have some great stories about their cars: 

Stuart Keen and Sunny (his awesome dog) had a map of the cross country trips he had taken in his 1951 MG TD MK2 

Cole Keen a sixteen year old young man with his father and help from a friend, put together a basket case 1973 Triumph TR6. Cole was here showing his work, this now pristine car

A day at a Car Show is a great place to get a good walk in

 Great car photos with an IPad part 1

Car Photos:

Sleek curves, the gleaming paint jobs, the raw power under the hood, not to mention the amazing features and utility – it’s no wonder that so many folks are passionate about owning, driving, and, yes, photographing automobiles. 

One mistake people make when shooting cars is heading out during the middle of the day when the light is harsh, unflattering, and just all-around bad. It’s a surefire way to end up with poor automobile shots.

It’s best to take photos a few minutes after sunset or a few minutes before sunrise. Another option is to work on overcast days – the clouds do a good job of diffusing the light

Distraction Free

Background matters always keep it simple.

You must carefully control what is in the photo and what is reflected in the car. Reflections can spoil these design lines. So before you capture a single photo, have a look around you, then look closely at the car and see what reflects off its surface.

Do you want photos of a car? Do you want to advertise on eBay, Craigslist, WeBe Autos, or even put that special car in the duPont Registry? Or, do you want a special photo album for yourself ? Email aadutter@ gmail.com or call 941-716-4785 ask for Larry.

Note : Both of the photos above were taken using my iPad. The number one rule for taken great photos is “The Setting”.

What is the driving force behind a good car sale?

I have recently joined the team at WeBe Autos www.webeautos.com as a Media Sales Listing Agent working out of my home in beautiful Southwest Florida. I will be covering the Tampa, Sarasota, Fort Myers and Naples area. The reason I joined this team can be summed up as follows:

At WeBe Autos we recognize that there are several things that separate the right price from bargain basement prices.

1. A great and unique car. For example a Honda CRV is a great vehicle but it is certainly not unique. On the other hand a Yugo is unique but it is not a great vehicle. These cars are not great unique cars, they are mediocre.

2. Advertisement, Advertisement, Advertisement! You can have a great unique car with great photos, and a dynamite write up but if no one see or reads it, then your car has not been separated from the mediocre.  At WeBe autos we pride ourselves on our marketing skills and we recognize the need to put your beautiful car in front of as many would-be-buyers as possible.

3. Photos. To highlight the cars beauty, show it in a way that says, " I am something special". That requires a proper and professional photo shoot and at times a professional video. WeBe Autos again specializes in these most important areas. We pride ourselves in giving your car the curb appeal it deserves.

4. Description write up. This can be the most damaging thing that can happen to a great/unique beautiful car when it is advertised on those D/I/Y sites. If this was a poker hand , these description and be a real tell. They let someone know a lot about the seller and they do not highlight the car in the manner it deserves. At WeBe Autos we pride ourselves in our description write ups painting a word picture that gives your car the curb appeal it deserves.
