There I was: classic car show; lashings of sunshine; throngs of people. But the cars were close together and surrounded by the people. What’s a poor boy to do?
Go for details.
I can’t do justice to a red monster covered in fins and chrome, but I can find an angle free of distractions and condense the whole to a point.
Or a big Pontiac surrounded by gazers but alone against the sky.
Actually, this works rather well. It really is possible to summarise or to try to find the detail that evokes. Does this work with people? I think it does.
But it’s the cars I like, so indulge me and see if you know the make and model.
Ok, that one was easy.
This one?
Obviously American. As is the next:
This one comes with a matching owner.
But the next one isn’t even a car.
It’s a bit of fun.
One more? Go on then.
Focusing on detail is useful though, when the whole is too big, too cluttered or badly arranged.
What do you think?
