Lamborghini Aventador in black at Cars & Coffee St. Petersburg Florida August 2013 meetup - Nikon D300 Tamron 17-50mm @ f/5.6 ISO 200 1/60th handheldA car enthusiast acquaintance told me about a monthly car meetup called Cars & Coffee (Facebook page for the meetups). I had no idea the size of the event so when I showed up Saturday morning at 8:25am (event schedule says 7am to 9am) I was very surprised to see hundreds of cars there, many of which were already pulling out to leave! As I walked from my car into the main area I saw most major current model supercars pass by. I never thought people would leave early and I thought thirty minutes would be more than enough to check everything out, but I was totally wrong. Still, I was able to talk to a few people and perhaps even make a few new car photography contacts.
The car highlight for me was seeing a Lamborghini Aventador in person for the first time. There were a lot of people around it naturally and the above shot was the cleanest one I could get of it. It is so low to the ground I felt like I could jump over the car! I look forward to the September meetup and know that I have to wake up much earlier next time!
