My work sent me out to Hershey, PA last Friday to cover the AACA National Fall Meet car show in Hershey, PA for an upcoming story Snap-On is doing on the show. I was only there Friday morning and the weather was not cooperating but I managed to clock off about 250 shots anyways once I was drenched. My assignment was to get "detail shots" ie: grills, hub caps, headlights, fenders etc....so I concentrated on that but I did manage to get a few other nice shots of cars themselves. If anyone has been to this show before, they know the money in the car corral....the bugatti was going for $750K...ouch. :shock: Ultra rare cars throughout. I counted 4 Shelby Mustangs, an Orange Yenko Camaro, a bunch of old skool Packards...a supercharged Cord for $275K (dayum), and a bunch of other cars I have NEVER even seen before.

Snap-On is probably going to use the Bugatti grill shot as the cover for the pub the story is going in.

All shot with my D70
17-55mm DX BIG DOG lens :shades
Hoya circular polarizer (though I couldn't utilize it much due to the weather...didn't want to get the glass wet.)
