The end

There were a few cars outside like this 1958 Mercury.

I have some more images, but I think I'll end the gallery here for now. Thank you to everybody for all the comments and votes, help in identifying cars, and encouragement for this unfamiliar area of photography for me! There is another one of these Oldtimers' shows in October, at which time we will have left Budapest for good, and I'm so disappointed because I would really love to go to it! Maybe we can come back from Saudi Arabia for it ;-).

I'm not at all into cars! But you succeed in presenting them in such an amazing way! Such a captivating work!!! BBV

Interesting how cars reflect the age. Here all space-agey and futuristic. So, you have decided to go to Saudi. I hope you find some photo opportunities there too.

fantastic detail! looks like lipstick! :) V

This is a case of a part being greater than the whole. It focuses in on the unique design. Often images of detail like this one are better than just showing the whole car.

Gerard Koehl		11-Apr-2013 04:37
Excellent... Ce cadrage serré est bien réalisé. V

Gary Hudes		11-Apr-2013 03:34

I agree with Walter... it is so like some sort of weapon. Beautiful colours and wonderful close up. V

Good way to end this with this distinctive tail light. Very nicely framed with a good depth of field. "V"

Dan Greenberg		10-Apr-2013 20:24
Perfect framing for this 1958 Mercury taillight. It shows how exotic and artistic the details on many cars were in the 50s, even if a little overdone. ~BV~

Paolo Peggi (aka Bracciodiferro)		10-Apr-2013 19:45
A very interesting gallery, excellent work! V Paolo

Martin Lamoon		10-Apr-2013 19:32
