Lamborghini Concepts (the Muira, and LM002 scale model) the new Muira almost looks great... but the tail end, and the front 'tusks' really hurt the profile of the auto.

LM002? it was about equivilant to a 1:10 model, give or take... it definately looks lamborghini IMO... i like it :)

Audi Roadjet Concept... i cant decide if i like this, or not... in any case... Audi wants to find consumer reaction to this vehicle.

Volkswagon RGT??? hmm... there seem to be far to many "R" badges out there now... and why would they copy Alois Ruf so blatently?... well, in any case... this thing is fargin' fast! (550 hp i think and aiming at a lower cost then the M5/CLS 55 etc.)

the S8... i can imagine wanting a car with tremendous rear leg room... but an A8 to me isnt exactly about sporting... but the paint does look good ;)

I wish the auto show was a 'full' Lambo dealer... as much as Black is the best color option IMO on most Lambos... but at the show... black just doesnt show up so well.
Gallardo Spyder --- i didn't realize til after the second time i went to the show that i didn't have much in the area of quality Gallardo pics :hmm: ... in any case... i never really liked the Gallardo Coupe much, but in cab form, the lines now look amazing!

I have mixed feelings about the new Miura (not Muria by the way ;) ), overall I like the look but the wheels and rear of the car let it down. :bah:

That VW thing looks pretty imposing.....thanks for the pics.

Thanks for the pics nthfinity!...the AM Rapide was the star of the show for sure. The rear lights are absolute crap...leave those type of lights to jap ricers. And please loose the bling bling wheels.

I have always loved the Giugiaro Toyota, ever since they showed it a few years ago, I hope Toyota actually decides to produce it. I don't know how a Hybrid supercar would work out, but I'm sure it will last a lifetime coming from Toyota.

Altough I hate the retro crap wave that's going through carmakers these days, I'm starting to like the Challenger...and the Camaro is awesome...we'll have a nice little muscler car war in a few years.

wow Isaac those pics are turning out great. You took quite a few shots to get those few good ones which is impressive for the tight quarters at times.

Thank you infinitely nthfinity for this great and complete gallery of best the concept cars at the NAIAS Auto show. Unfortunately because of my tons of work at my job I couldn't be there this year at Detroit for the Auto show. It's a chance for me and for the rest of JW members that you took a lot of awesome pictures. http://www.rs6.com/smilies/thumbsup.gif

My favorite cars of the bunch are naturely every Audis you took in pictures, but to be more precise about concept cars, I very like the Dodge Challenger & Chevy Camaro and the new Muira. :D

I didn't notice in the past your watermarks on your pix, it looks really professional. :wink:

Cheers !

Oh yes ! That's sounds very promising. Considering the fact there was several model which I will have liked enormously to see in person such the RS4, S8 and S6, thus it's a chance that you could be there to take pictures. :wink:

Thanks in advance nthfinity. :D

yo yo!

the pics turned out good man. it was good fun to chill with you and t-bird at the show! hope to see you guys again sometime soon.

after leaving the show, i got stuck in the traffic jam from HELL!!! haha. spent about 2 hours just sitting on I-75. it's a good thing you guys didn't come with me.

cheers!
yeah, it was good to see you and T-bird too :)

i should've warned you about I 75 lol... Friday +north + 530pm doesnt work... i've been in that same jam wayyyyy to many times when i lived in Detroit. usually on weekdays, its 'only' an extra hour :lol: it may have been better to have taken Woodward out... but hindsight is 20:20.
im pleased with the way most of the images turned out... i guess that extra 15 minutes on the way to your car really wasnt that much after all :P

Thank you so much nthfinity for all these new awesome Audi pictures. This is very appreciated by me that you could take pictures of the new S6 and S8. http://www.rs6.com/smilies/thumbsup.gif

But the pictures set which I must especially underline it's definitively the new Audi B7 RS4. They are sharp and crisp and thanks to have been enough patient to take perfect shot of my favorite car's. http://www.rs6.com/smilies/applause.gif http://www.rs6.com/smilies/rs4-kiss.gif

Normally, I was supposed to be with you guys at this 2006 NAIAS, but I had to much work at my job in january. Sorry everso. :(

I hope next year I will have the time. :wink:

OK, final Bump

they are ALL up... mostly at the bottom... i found a few more concepts i didnt post earlier.

238 pictures in all... damn, i need to find a better way to speed up the process lol...
for no tripod, most of the images turned out pretty good... and minimal flash useage, losing patience :lol:

good luck @ geneva's media event.
a word of warning to you TT... Media photographers are absolutely EVIL... dont budge one inch for them... and Dont be afraid to tell them to get the hell out of your way (well... politely at first :P )

oh, and they arent always trying to get the best shot... just a full shot they can use... there is an interesting device they somteimes use... a monopod + a remote... and they hold the pod up high for a high-angle shot...

just a few ideas ;)

02-12-2006, 06:10 AM
HAHA, thanks for the pics and tips ;) well, don't forget I will officially be a media photographer too :D so I am not scared :D And BTW, I won't be in such a rush, so I can wait. I think I'll also try to stay untill the closing at least one of the two days, when ppl will be in the press room to upload pics and press infos ;)
The most boring thing will be for instance when a TV presenter will record his bit on a car.. well, if it will be Vicki it wil be fun to see her in real life, but still, if they do 2 or 3 takes I guess it's a pita :D

Oh BTW, I've got a question about your editing process. Apparently you are doing something another guy I know does. It's about trying to lighten up darker areas without overexposing the rest. Am I wrong?
I noticed it in several pics where there is such a strong metallic feeling.. unnatural actually.

Or am I just seeing things?

yes, i decided it was too unnatural. so the final 73 pictures didnt have that edited process at all. at first i thought it worked really well... but well, it almost works great... but not quite :?

its the process of "highlights and shadows" the real problem with it i think is this: it leaves a prighter outline around the edges...which gives the artificial feel. if that werent there, it would be much much better. i am def. not going to go back and re-edit them... i dont have that luxury of time. in some casees, you can use just a small yield of 'highlights' with no visibly ill effects... and it all depends on the picture... hope that makes sence

with the final 73 pics, if they were what i feel is a tad too dark, i changed the gamma, exposure, brightness, and contrast...which ends up lookking 'real' still IMO. i wouldn't have done really any of the 'highlight and shaddows' process if i had remembered to bring a tripod, either of the days i went :? and as im sure you know... a flash just doesnt work very nicely.

so, you can tell your friend mabey my own tips to get away from the 'shaddow/highlight' thing

02-12-2006, 01:49 PM
Well, he things it is the way to go.. luckily he doesn't spot many rare cars LOL ;)

The basic idea isn't bad, but IMO there is no need to make the shadows go away trying to lighten them up.. a dark spot in a picture is not "wrong".. it is just natural ;)
