56 Cadillac...

Hi Folks,

It has been a while since my last post in October. I have sorted through thousands of photos and I am now starting to edit. I hope to be blogging about twice a week but will see.

My Photographic Observation for today is an old 1956 Cadillac that I happened to see in Fremantle one afternoon. It was beautifully restored as you see and it was also white.

Headlight View

I wanted to shoot this car a little bit different so my first shot was basically a teasing view.
I call it a teasing view because you don't get to see much of the car but you get the idea of the basic shape. I kind of like the way cars were styled back in the old days.

The second Shot I have opened up a bit more to give a bit more of a teasing view.

More Revealed

The nice body contours really give this car a feeling of " I want to go for a ride" and boy did this catch my eye. In Fremantle there always seem to be a classic car of some sort and this just caught my eye.

The third photo is the whole side on view and not the teaser anymore.

The 56 Cadillac

Yes definitely something. It was blazing hot the day I took the photos, around 35deg Celsius. Not great conditions to shoot but I am learning not to let a chance go by.

The fourth photo I thought of a rear side view would be nice just to get a different point of view.

Side View

I think it is amazing that a lot of these classic cars are around and to see them is truly a pleasure. Of course they don't have the luxury of the new cars of today but you cant have everything right.

The fifth and final pic is the rear of the car.

Elvis 56

I am assuming that the owner was an Elvis Fan and I think the 56 Cadillac is what he had bought at the time. Not that this is Elvis's car.

This was My Photographic Observation for today.
Hope to be here again very shortly.
