[Theme] at the car wash
« on: April 07, 2016, 22:09:01 »
Every now and then the car needs a cleaning. You drive it to the car wash.
The car's getting washed.
In the meantime... you are taking photos.

Show your photos from inside the car while at or in the carwash plant.

Cool!
Reminds me of the chain collision we had here in Stavanger not too long ago...it happened outside a car wash and I believe it was caused by a Tesla.
Here's a link to the picture from 'Aftenbladet': http://sa.mnocdn.no/incoming/article3878579.ece/ALTERNATES/w1440c169/Esso-kjedekollisjon.jpg?updated=260220161255

A press photo that actually tell a story Sten :) My contribution is more of a play with light, steam and the 36-72 mm.

Without having a car, I do notice these vehicles get cleaned in many different ways...

Great stuff flowing in here.

Sten, that's a story!

Børge, I like this very lively scene. Great light with the headlights on. Extra points for the girls handling the water jet.

Fons, one does rarely find red equipment in the wash plant in my area. The frames look different as well and space looks generous.
Interesting. Is this the drying stage?

John, yours looks like a cookshop where they not only clean but make the car like in a 3D printer ;). The 2 maker arms just swung to the side.

Very interesting theme.  A very good range of images .   Love the more 'abstract' images.

Tommie and Floyd are my new best buddies :)

(There was a woman and once asked a smoker, how long do you smoke?
He replied, about 20 years. She asked further, how much do you smoke.
He said, about two packets a day. She observed, that's 12$ a day, roughly 4380$ a year, or more than 80K$ in the 20 years that you smoked. You could have bought a Porsche or a Ferrari or etc...
He asked her does she smoke. She said no, of course not.
Well then, where the f&*#! is your Ferrari????)
