Submitter's name:	Alan Wayman
Title:	They don't make 'em like that any more ...
Gear used:	OM-1 + 50mm 1.8
Diaphragm:	f16
Shutter speed:	1/500
Film used:	Konica VX100.
Technical information:	Scanned print on old Umax S-6E, sharpened scan in Photoshop and converted to greyscale to make picture more suggestive of age.
Subject information:	A few dozen classic cars appeared unannounced in the town one Sunday afternoon. I grabbed my OM-1, a couple of rolls of film and spent an hour taking pictures of the cars and their owners. The couple in the picture are locals intrigued by a beautifully restored and detailed Oakland.

Great shot, but.... You cheat! This shot looks like it was taken some 70 years before the shooting season opened! ;)

Could have been shot 70 years ago, except the shoes prove otherwise. Nice shot.

The contrast is quite high, and it is a shame that the face is in shadow, but I wish I had seen and taken this shot. It is a classic stance/composition in my view.
