    It was a little unfortunate for me the other day when I came across a small collection of wonderful historic cars at the Blyth Steam and Thesher Show. Each one had a huge piece of white paper with the details about the car - obscuring the windshields. Yellow tape was on the grass underneath, and almost all of the grills and chrome details were interupted by license plates that I did not want to include. I simply could not find interesting angles or even useful detail shots for the most parts - - - so only spent a few minutes grabbing 15 or 20 images including these:

    car1.

    car2.

    car3.

    Often these types of car shows or car meets, are not ideal for images because of crowds or the signs and whatnot, but in spite of those issues I still shoot and shoot away, and try and make the best of it, I always say a shot is much better then no shot.
