Burn Prevention Foundation Concours of the Eastern US

[Ken Visser]

I was invited back to judge at the 20th annual Burn Prevention Foundation Concours. I love these kinds of events to see cars that just don't make it out in public all that often. I judged the supercar class which wasn't my first pick but its still an opportunity to talk to some owners and learn more about these cars.

I took about 600 shots, doing event coverage for the foundation and just for fun.

Here are some of my favs. I would appreciate any C and C.

cheers

I thought this was a freaky photo.

This viscous line of storms hit the Washington DC area on Tuesday. I always have my camera with me and ran up to our rooftop garden to take a series of photos. It reminded me of the scene from Independence day where the folks were up on the roof waiting to get vaporized by the mean extraterrestrials. I can't really explain the circular set of clouds prominent in the photo. At first I thought it was the sun forming a spot. But, the sun was in the west, not this southeast facing scene. There was one minor tornado that touched down in the DC area.
