Chrome tail on an old corvette at a local car show. I probably should have spent more time on the few shots I took here than I did, but there are a few shows coming up, so I will have another chance soon enough.
Showing Cars
Shot at a local car show. I chalk this one up as a learning experience, as I hadn’t attempted to shoot cars in this manner until now. I made quite a few mistakes, biggest being my lens selection that I brought along with me (Sigma 17-35mm 2.8). While it was good to have the wide angle for full shots, there just wasn’t enough zoom for good close-ups. Next time I’ll still bring this lens along, but also a zoom-macro to cover the details. A few other issues, dealing with reflections and high-noon sunlight, were easy to work around. Sometimes just a step back would cure it, or taking a walk and coming back in 15 minutes was enough to get the sun out of the way. All in all, it was a good experience, though I could have spent more time on individual subjects. I am hoping to get to one more cruise before the season is completely over and try my luck again.
