Work of art on 5th Ave - Naples, FL

What I like about driving 5th Ave, you can stop your car while driving and the car behind you just assumes another car ahead of you has stopped for a pedestrians or a car attempting to park along the road. Because of this, I am able to stop frequently when a photo opportunity arises, such as this beauty.

I always feel like the owner might be eating at the nearby outside restaurant and sees me take pass after pass in order to get the best picture. I have a route, go to the light, turn right, then right again paralleling 5th until 3rd, and then back up 5th. Depending on where the sun is or where the "hot" cars are, I'll have to turn around in order to head down in the other direction. I generally shoot out the driver’s side window and keep the camera steady by leaning it on the window sill of the car. A couple recent posts, some shots are out of my sun roof. Because I am generally on 5th (and 3rd) close to dusk, I have to be very still so as not to blur.

I love this last shot as a family marvels over the beauty of the Ferrari.


I will say here for the record, I do not drive and take photos, I stop my car and shoot.

Enjoy!

Thanks for being a sport about me taking a picture of your family's Ferrari and posting it on my blog.

Will I see it this season as well?
