Packard Automobile Classic Car Show at The Lutheran Theological Seminary Gettysburg

July 22, 2010 the Packard Automobile Classic Car Show at the Lutheran Theological Seminary, David decided almost last minute to take the whole day off to go to the show. Right after we bought the 55 Josh told us about the national Packard meet in Gettysburg in July. But we kinda forgot about it till he saw it on a forum he refers to when he needs an answer about the 55. It was a great show with a lovely historic setting, which I tried to include when ever I could.

He actually wanted his picture taken beside the sign, I added his first and middle name the sign provided the last!

The next set of pics are of an original 37 Packard, you can read the paper for its history.

We arrived right around 9 am and some were still prepping for the judging

I will upload more as time permits, I took over 200 photos, could have taken lots more.

Black and Yellow in 1964. I loved that car, it was stolen in 1967. That broke my heart. I never did find another one like it. But you posted a picture of one that looks just like it. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

~ What To Wear ~

I found this on the Web and thought it was usefull! Photographers shooting a traditional family portrait will suggest that members wear a uniform color that the entire clan feels comfortable in. The safest colors are solid muted tones that don't distract from a person's face. Suggested color "dos" include: •Brown •Blue •Rust •Burgundy •Mocha •Hunter green •Gold Conversely, there are a number of colors that you shouldn't sport on family picture day. Some color "don'ts" include: •Purple •All neon or fluorescent colors •Bright red •Bright green •Gray In addition, individuals with fair skin should avoid wearing flesh-tones, such as: •Beige •Tan •Peach •Pink •Bright white •Yellow •Rose •Apricot Black is a controversial color in the world of family portraits. Some photographers recommend wearing black during formal shoots, though most pro shooters tell their clients to avoid wearing black in family portraits because the color may cause lighting issues. Extreme contrasts are to be avoided at all costs during photo shoots, especially when multiple subjects are involved. You're better off sticking with neutral colors that will accentuate your natural features.
