There are an awful lot of light fixtures in the ceiling of the Cobo exhibit hall. The reason I know this is because most of them seemed to be reflected in the cars I was trying to photograph at the Autorama this past weekend. Those obnoxious light reflections are all over the shiny sheet metal which doesn't make for the best looking car images. Dodging crowds of people streaming by the cars made things difficult as well as I tried squeaking out a shot or two. However the lower level of the hall, set up for the low-brow crowd saved the day. No shiny surfaces were in evidence on the rat rods in the Cobo basement. Coated in primer or worn original paint, or in some cases no paint at all just bare sheet metal, the low-budget, low-brow rat rods hearken back to a simpler time of hot rodding when a lot of enthusiasm and a bit of automotive know-how could put you into your own personalized one of a kind ride.
