The antique car show at Bear Mountain, in New York state, is one of my Uncle Ralph's favorites. Elevated high above the banks of the Hudson River, the setting alone is worth the trip. But the best part for me was walking the rows and rows of meticulously maintained vehicles with a true expert. Uncle Ralph knows his cars. I could listen to him describe -- in his Bronx accent -- kit cars, hydraulic suspension, and gear shift mechanisms for hours.Crowds, cars and visitors made it difficult to find a clean background for photos of the cars. I fell back to a favorite technique. I shot with a very wide aperture -- in this case 2.8 -- to blur out the busy background. This also, natch, accentuated the hood ornament of this antique Chevrolet. I love the curves.
