I captured this at a car show in downtown Cary. One of the collectors brought down a gorgeous 1971 De Tomaso Pantera. The '71 Pantera was powered by a gigantic 5.8L V8 engine. While I didn't get to hear the vulgar utterances of that massive engine, I did take time to admire the blazing orange paint that this car wore. I've never gotten to see a Pantera in person before this day, so it was a pretty neat car to see. I'm particularly fond of how this picture manages to look more like a Ford stamp on a flat background than an actual photograph. To me, it looks like the Ford brand is floating above an orange surface.

This is my first published image taken from the Sony Alpha 7R. I took this with an old EF-mount Canon 35-80mm lens, a ND3.0 filter, and no aperture control at the time. I wanted to capture that moment when the world is one color, blue, and a group of fishermen was simultaneously preparing to catch the last of their fish for the night. I really liked the resulting composition, with the entire image reflected almost perfectly in the water.
