The Bob Jones Collection

Welcome to the Bob Jones Collection
The weather was perfect for this type of gallery...overcast it started to rain just after we left.
I had Arlene with me to shoot images of this very cool place.
Bob dragged his very first car home to this yard in 1962 and his wife was not very happy.
Shortly after that he sent his wife packing and brought home every car for miles around.
I have presented this in a "Film Strip" type gallery with loads of post processing and some in camera tricks.
Bob has granted me permission to come and "Paint With Light" which may lead to some more fine images of this collection.
I hope you all enjoy this as much as I did shooting it.
Well we made it back to Bob's place to do some Low Light and "Painting".
Bob really enjoyed the album I gave him for his 80th birthday and I'm going to add the latest images to it for him.
We had fun but it was hard to keep track in the dark just what cars we wanted to 'Paint".
I returned this winter to capture some more images of this cool collection, armed with my Fisheye and 24-70mm this time.
Hope you like the ones we picked....

I'm glad to get onto the net and search out cool sites like this now and then. At least someone is preserving the old iron heritage, and this old timers yard should be classed as a Museum with all the old cars, trucks and trinkets. Exellent job of the photo gallery also. I was in my glory veiwing all the photos, two thumbs up here.......

Wow, what a collection of cars! I can see why his wife wouldn't have been too happy to have all these lying around the yard. You really seemed to capture the essence of his collection well in these images. I particularly like the ultra wide shots.

Mike - you have really outdone yourself with this gallery and that says a lot. What a blast this must have been to shoot and post process. The colors, mood and compositions are incredible. I'm guessing some HDR along with other processes. The biggest possible Vote.
