Car at Guero's

I just got back from a long weekend in Austin, Texas. I met up with a few friends that I originally met at a Radiant Vista workshop earlier this year in Savannah, Georgia. A good time was had by all and I personally picked up a lot of valuable photography tips from this group of experienced photographers.

The photo I'm posting today was taken outside of Guero's Restaurant on Friday night.

Title: "Austin Classic Car"

Hi Barry,

Was good to see you in Austin. This car was a great sight and you captured it very well, framed with all the lighting from the bar, but without any of the other distractions from the street.

Look forward to your upcoming posts from Austin.

Cheers,
Jan
