Having been in storage all winter, I’ve been wanting to snap a few shots of my 1955 Chevy Coupe lately. I took some time out of my day on Wednesday to do just that. Armed with my Canon 5D and a relatively empty parking garage, I spent about 10 minutes with the car trying to find an angle that does it’s lines justice. I think I succeeded, although more neutral lighting would have helped.

The shadow on the back of the car and the blown highlights still bug me. I want to do a proper shoot with the car, but I just haven’t had a lot of spare time. I’m thinking something at Red Rocks might just do the trick. Maybe I’ll drive it to my next engagement shoot there.
I’m driving it to my Twitter class today at the 9 News Building, so if you want to drop by and take a cruise, I down.
The color and lines are exquiste. This website is inviting and very prodessionally done. Have a great weekend. Aloha from Honolulu. @TinabobinaS
Lovely shot !!! Nice angle.
I hate iPhone professionally done is what I meant!
Awesome 55 Chevy! (Drooling). Great Photo.
When you do it up right like at Red Rocks it will be amazing.

Nice 55! Ok angle I guess. Personally i would have went with a closer body angle shot. slightly off right front or rear looking at a partial light grab while looking down the body side molding, while capturing the unique tell tell signs that it is a 55. Most people could not tell you whether this is a 55 or 57, however for the in the know crowd, the distinct 55 tail light (gas fill) is one of a hand full of items that set this 55 from the 57′s.
Of course, this is just my opinion, and I’m not a professional photographer either.
Either way, nice ride. I have a future classic as well. A 92 Olds Custom Cruiser Wagon…, the last year that olds made a wagon, and the last rear wheel drive platform from olds. Only 3200 were made in 92, making it quite rare actually. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/359571
