More photos from the Buda Gearheads Car Show in the Cabela’s parking lot.
I was taking photos of the yellow Corvette when these gentlemen (who were with the yellow Corvette) announced that they “wanted to be famous, too.” I said I could only promise “almost famous” and they agreed to that, so here they are. No, I don’t know who they are. Guess they will have to settle for being anonymously almost famous.

This was one of those positive reinforcement opportunities. Cabela’s wasn’t my destination, but when I drove by I could see there was a car show in the parking lot — and I had my camera with me. It was definitely worth the detour.
The car show was hosted by the Buda Gearheads. I had a good time walking around checking out the cars.

This woman graciously agreed to get her photo taken. Her daughter poked her head out the car window just as I took the photo, which made the photo even better for me.

Turns out my photography instructor also thought that my first Motion Blur submission was overexposed, so I returned to the streets for another photo session. Here’s what I turned in from my second effort. I managed to get the clock in focus and the vehicle blurry.
