This past week-end Hubby took me to Hickory Corners, to the northwest of Battle Creek – of cereal fame. Hickory Corners is little more than a crossroad in farming country but thousands of people went there to attend the car show at the Gilmore Car Museum. Hubby likes old cars and he needed a hubcap for the ’59 Chevy he just bought. I went because none of his car-loving buddies could go and I thought it would be fun to practice my car photography skills.
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is “lights” and I just happened to take a few photos of, you guessed it, car lights.
If you love classic cars, old cars, pedal cars, motorcycles or vehicles powered by steam or electric, this is a wonderful place to visit. The grounds are beautiful with many vintage buildings – you can get more information at GilmoreCarMuseum.org
Hey Hubby, I’m looking forward to another visit when the grounds aren’t filled with people and cars.

Thank you, Janice. I have found I love taking photos with a DSLR. I take hundreds and then chose the ones I like best. 🙂

My neighbor restores old classic cars. They look wonderful once he’s done. You would never know it as he does it in his 4 car garage and never sound is heard.
Very nice shots …

He does indeed love to show them off. He is at car shows almost every weekend with another one of his masterful restorations. Can you believe he has an old fashioned sewing machine with a foot pedal for him to make the upholstered seat covers? Nice hobby …

Sound like a great weekend. I love old cars. We have an auto museum near where we live. 😀

I found it more rewarding to take photos in the museum buildings than outside. Outside there are too many people that walk between my camera and the car and the cars are too close together.

Nice. What do you do to make the text come after the pictures?

If you mean the caption – you fill that out when you are adding media. To type after the photo, you click on the photo and there will be a black line either on the left or right side of the photo. If it is left and you click enter, the photo moves down a space, if it is right, the curser moves down a space. Call me if this isn’t what you want to know.
