A masterpiece of metalworking

One of the challenges of these car ‘meets’ is to get rid of the clutter. I have found that going back on the second day in the evening, when only the hard core owners remain, is usually the best strategy. Even so, I had to come back several times to this scene before there was the chance of a ‘clean’ snap of this beautifully fabricated street rod. Air suspension makes it rise once the motor is running, in case you wondered!

Another example of a bit of patience to clean up the sorroundings. Gawkers are all very well, but I have never known them to improve the snap.

For people watching and candid photography, the first day is usually best.
