I chopped in a ton of grass at the bottom, erased the oil spills and tire marks, replaced a bunch of yellow taxi lines and one very old fire truck that hasn't moved in 30 years!

Trying to figure out where to go for the 45th!


Jacksonville Corvette Club, Jacksonville Florida.

The wife and I are standing next to our red 2014, but I'm sure you picked that out right away!

I just added the prechop file. Much ugly in that photo!

Figuring out the parking arrangement/placement for one of those photos ops must be interesting. I'm betting a time lapse video of getting all the cars parked just right would be entertaining!

You bet it was! We had people out with surveying gear the night before and they were taping the wheel locations for all of the cars. When we staged, one guy stood on a 6' ladder and choreographed the movement of the cars. Took over an hour to get everyone into some semblance of order.

Sent a couple of people up in the chopper to get the pictures. Just held their fingers down on the shutter button as they flew by!

We have a hard time getting 25 cars out of 120 to do anything.

When is your car show ?

April 29th for this year. The picture was an event to memorialize the 40th year of the car club. January 8th is our 43rd year. 108 lines of membership on the spreadsheet and mostly 2 people for each line.

Our little club might be able to pull off the "40", but that would be a stretch. Congratulations to you and your club, great photo!!!

Is the photo from a drone? Or whatever they call those little helicopter things?

And here I thought you were "DRONE"-ing on! I really thought that was a drone shot. Still, copter is even cooler. Very well done.
