2014 Canton Cruise-In

Monday morning Peoria greetings to one and all!!!!

This past Friday in Central Illinois we had weather that can best be described as “Chamber of Commerce” type weather. For those of you that haven’t heard that phrase it means a day that is so nice and perfect that people visiting the city would want to move there because the day was so beautiful and comfortable! So to have a day in Central Illinois in June that was Sunny, low humidity and 75 degree temperatures is just about perfect! Well this past Friday was one of those days and it was a perfect day for a car cruise in!!!

This is the second year that I have made it down to Canton, Il. for their annual “Cruise-In”. They had a great turnout of cars and it takes up a good portion of the downtown area! It’s a nice show in the sense is it’s not all the same types of cars, so there’s a great variety from old to new! One of my biggest challenges as a photographer and shooting this for the second time is to try and come away with photos that are different from last years photos. I did see a fair number of cars from last year, so I tried to look at them in a different light and come up with some angles and looks that were different. That’s a great challenge, but it’s also a lot of fun! Here’s a link from last years Cruise-In and you can see how I approached the photos and then compare them to this year! http://blog.kevinmay.com/2013/06/17/canton-cruise-in/

Here are this years photos from the 2014 Canton Cruise-In! I hope you like what you see!!!

Thanks as always for taking the time to view my work and it’s very much appreciated by me!!!! Have a great week to come as always!!!!!!

Monday morning Peoria greetings to one and all!!!!

For those of you that remember I shared a photo from the University of Illinois at Memorial Stadium with four cars that we shot for Chevrolet last summer. Chevy was doing a cross promotion with the U of I for their football and basketball programs. We shot photos of the different cars in the morning at the basketball arena, Assembly Hall and then in the afternoon at the football stadium, Memorial Stadium. We had the perfect day to be out there shooting and the shots came out great!!!!

Here’s the shot of the four Chevy cars at Assembly Hall http://kevinmay.com/kmcuoi10feb13.jpg

For those that don’t remember, here’s the link to the promo of the Chevy cars at Memorial Stadium http://blog.kevinmay.com/2012/10/01/chevrolet-and-the-university-of-illinois/

I’m also going to try something new for my friends on Facebook as well this week. I’m going to crop the Monday morning photo into the format of the Facebook cover photo and all you’ll have to do is download the photo from this link and then change your cover photo and you’ll be all set! No fuss, no muss!!!!! Here’s the link for the Facebook cover version of this weeks promo! http://kevinmay.com/kmcuoi10feb13fb.jpg

Monday morning Peoria greetings to one and all!!!

We’re fast approaching the end of the year and things are starting to wind down as they always do here in December!

This past week here in Peoria I got to shoot a fun event at the Caterpillar Visitors Center. Nascar’s RCR (Richard Childress Racing) unveiled their new version of the Cat Chevrolet Impala SS for the 2013 NASCAR racing season. They pulled out all the stops on this one and brought the race car up to Peoria in one of their race haulers and to see that rig in person is amazing!!! Car owner Richard Childress and driver Jeff Burton were also there to do the big unveil and then talk with the media and also do an autograph session with the fans! I was amazed to see Richard and Jeff still having smiles and be upbeat at the end of the two hour autograph session and you have to know that they were both probably a little tired, but they never showed it!!!! Smiles all around!!!!!!

Here’s this weeks promo with some of my snaps from the day at the CVC!

Thanks as always for checking out my work and I hope that you have a great week to come!!!!

Chevrolet and the University Of Illinois

Monday morning Peoria greetings to one and all!!!

I did a shoot for Chevrolet last May over at the U of I in Champaign, Illinois and I’m now able to share the first part of that shoot. Chevy has teamed up with the U of I to do a promotion with the football and basketball teams and I got hired to snap the shots! Chevy wanted shots of some of their different cars with Memorial Stadium (football) and Assembly Hall (basketball). I went over a few weeks before the shoot and scouted the locations and did some quick test shots for the people in Michigan. We looked at the weather and picked what ended up to be a perfect day, beautiful blue skies and lots and lots of sun!!!! For the different ads, we shot individual shots of the cars at each location and then did a group shot of all of the cars as well.

Today I’m sharing the group shot at Memorial Stadium!!!

I hope that you have a great week to come and thanks as always for checking out my work!!!
