Fuji X30 – 1/320 @ f/5.6 – ISO
This is a 1959 Austin-Healy “Bug Eyed” Sprite and I just adore these tiny British sports cars. This particular one is a “daily driver” so the owner is not just looking at it he is also enjoying driving it. The actual color of this car is BRG – British Racing Green.
Every June in Fireman’s Memorial Park, Lindenhurst Long Island a Fireman’s Tournament is held with most of the Long Island Fire Departments competing for the best times. Make no mistake these are no ordinary Fire Trucks these are full blown race vehicles. All of this happens very quickly so I thought I would do something a little different by showing you a gallery of ten images all taken with the Fuji X-T1 and 56mm f/1.2 lens in high speed continuous shutter mode (8 frames per second). This team is the Lindenhurst Snails Drill team. To see a sequence in real time here is a YouTube video I shot with my iPhone of a different drill team – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J59pO9Rn8sI. Although I prefer the still images I included the video to show how fast all this happens. To view the gallery of images please click the largest image above.
Fujifilm X30 – 1/180 @ f/2.8 – ISO 200
There it was lying upside down in the middle of the woods and nobody knows how it got there. This is the rear axle, differential gears and springs attached to a very large truck frame just left here to rust.

Just thinking of a line from the movie “Risky Business !

It was a blah type of rainy day but I thought I would still go out and have some fun with the camera. As they say “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade”. I hope you enjoy.

A lot of people hate rain but I enjoy it. Everything is so exaggerated like the street reflection of the headlights on these cars. I had to put the camera in manual focus mode to defocus and shoot. I hope you enjoy.
I know it’s a popular term these days but this 1941 Buick looks Gangsta :) I hope you enjoy.
This is by far my favorite model year Ford pickup truck the 1956. This owner did a great job customizing this truck notice the exhaust tips exiting from the running boards.
I love the way the original wooden bed is restored on this truck.
And a little trick sheet metal work in the tailgate with some louvers. I hope you enjoy.
This is a 1956 Cadillac Coupe deVille. This is when cars really started to get big. Notice the massive amounts of sheet metal and chrome.
This one also was tastefully lettered in gold along with the insignias.
Notice the full width air vent under the windshield for ventilating the interior.
These cars also drove the gas station attendants crazy because the gas filler was accessed by swinging the tail light to one side and the filler was behind it. Also take notice the dual exhaust exits from the bumper something that todays car designers think is a new idea. I hope you enjoy.
