Selfies are all the rage. Even President Obama has been known to snap one every now and again. With the onset of winter and bitterly cold temps I often seek interesting indoor venues in which to play with my camera. Auto museums offer tremendous photo opportunities. Some even allow tripods! The Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, Michigan hosts a very beautiful collection of old cars and is very accomodating to photographers. Museums do make for busy backgrounds so often one must seek to move in real close and make what essentially are macro compositions. This of course is a great time to work on isolating subject matter and simplifying compositions. I snapped this "selfie" last winter when I visited the Gilmore with Macro Photographer +Mike Moats . We had a great time and I highly recommend you put the Gilmore on your list of Southwest Michigan must-see locations! Here are a couple more from that visit:
