Pops of red

A couple of automotive “portraits” for today. No fancy photography technique here – just some scenes I saw while walking around. If the architecture looks different from my usual work, it’s because these were shot in Charleston, South Carolina. I was there for only a couple of days this week and most of that was raining, heavily at times, so I couldn’t really explore as much as I wanted. But it was a most interesting and beautiful city and I hope I can spend more time there in the future. I had plans of what I wanted to shoot during my visit, everything from the beaches to the plantations, but those plans quickly diminished due to time and weather.

As for the shots. I liked the simple composition and the pop of red in the first photo. It was dusk and almost dark when I shot that one. In the second shot, I liked the decidedly European look and, again, a pop of red, this time in the shutters. Plus I’m a Porsche 928 fan. I don’t see them as much as I used to.
