It was raining pretty hard on the way home from work tonight, and once again some people were driving way too fast. I counted three accidents. I always wonder if these drivers think that they are exempt from the laws of physics. Regardless of what kind of fancy car they drive, they may find that Sir Issac Newton is actually in the driver's seat.

How I got this shot: I set my camera on my dashboard and triggered the shutter with my wireless remote. I couldn't see what I was shooting but most of the shots turned out ok.

It's tough to take photos of these highly reflective vehicles and not become part of the photo yourself. I've posted other images of this truck but I really like this head on perspective which is exaggerated a bit by my 11mm wide angle lens.

The Uptown Whittier 2009 Car Show hosted over 250 classic cars. This show started 8 or 9 years ago with just a handful of entrants. Now its hard to know what to photograph first.
