Fourth of July Car Show (1 of 4) 2026-07-05 - Campbellsville, KY - Photo by Robert Ellis, robertelliswoodworking.com. Robert writes, "The sweltering heat from the previous week had let up a little, so it was good time to travel over to Campbellsville University to photograph the car show. I find from a photographers standpoint it can be a little bit of a challenge, mostly due to the 'show cars' being positioned so close together...how to isolate and compose a shot; that part can be tricky. This photo I was fortunate to have it isolated and pretty much all by itself. Here the owner is readying the vehicle with the usual hood and trunk lids in the up position for a more revealing presentation." Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
