3rd shot posted from the San Clemente Car show but the 1st shot taken. Arriving at 7am was perfect for catching cars rolling down the middle of the street slowly to there staging place. It was nice to catch them with no stickers, signs, numbers, hoods up or people around the car.
Next time I will get there early catch them rolling down the road get my shots in the can and enjoy the rest of the show.
