Shadow Shot Sunday - A big land barge with even bigger shadows

Shadow Shot Sunday 2 returns as Spring heads toward Summer, the days much nicer than in the preceding snowy and cold Winter. Thus, the warmth and sun leaves us stronger shadows under the more direct sun. So, stout shadows are the goal, and I found a fine subject (if one likes chrome laden 1950s Detroit land barges, as much as I :)

This is a 1956 Mercury Montclair convertible, a large and overstyled land yacht in its black and white hue with a matching interior, it leaves huge shadows underneath its visage and flanks. And it has shiny chrome bumpers leaving reflections of the photographer. It works well as a stylish iron SSS2 subject and who wouldn't want to fold the top down and take it for a spin?

Ruby Tuesday 2 - Long, longer and...

Ruby Tuesday 2 reappears, and we look for red in many ways: microscopic or massive. I have chosen the latter...at yesterday's Fathers Day car show at the Shelton History Center, I was (as usual) intrigued by the sight of chrome laden 1950s American barges with their styling excesses. 

Especially when I stumbled into this, a massive 1958 Chevrolet Impala painted in acres of red. It was sooooo long that two frames were needed to capture its ruby goodness - there is plenty of it :) See more ruby goodness at RT2
