123

That's how many photos I have uploaded from the big greaser meet at Vegabaren in Handen. The Grand Prix Raggarbil 2016 which is the official name. It's a good number I think 123, so I think that will do it for this year. I have added the slideshow as per usual so if you have a few minutes, sit back and enjoy this very unique Swedish subculture in full swing why don't you. The Chevy Impala is the most commmmon car among the Swedish raggare. The female photographer is there every year, as is Anna who likes her denim shorts and I'm glad she does!

Moments in Time

Three moments in time from Grand Prix Raggarbil 2016. A girl sitting on a car top with a party whistle in her mouth at Vegabaren. Two "raggare" arriving in style to the big meet, sitting in the trunk of a red Impala downing a beer. A tired guy resting on a mattrees on the top of another car.

Two different Portraits

So the plan for me at the big greaser meet at Vegabaren over the weekend was to shoot a lot of portraits with the full frame Canon (the 6D), using the Nifty Fifty lens. And to shoot the rest of the photos with the old Canon, using the silent zoom lens. Arriving to the meet I parked my bike and walked in. Immediately surrounded by interesting people and cool cars I reached for the cameras only to realise that I had left the battery to the 6D at home in the charger! Which is why both these portraits of the blond cutie were taken with the old Canon. She was sitting in a car looking a bit bored so I asked her to step out into the sunshine so that I could take a portrait. Earlier in the day I had already taken the candid photo of her.

Observations from the greaser meet

Lots to look at during the big greaser meet at Degabaren. A doll. Boobs. A chain steering wheel.

People of all ages

The big greaser meet Grand Prix Raggarbil at Vegabaren in Handen is heaven for street photography. This year I decided to shoot more portraits. Most of them candid snaps. Expect more to come in the coming days. The little girs was very impressed by that skull on the car.

Grand Prix Raggarbil 2016

I spent nearly for hours at Vegabaren in Handen today. It was time for the annual greaser meet. Raggare from all over Sweden got together for a few hours of fun. This is a unique Swedish subculture. Hundreds of American classic cars. A few hot babes. Some cool dudes, and a lot of sunshine. I have enough photos for a few years of blogging.
