Geneva Motorshow MY pics (some new pics added 08/03, page 3)
 
Here are my pics from Geneva. 140 high-res for you :)

it's late, I can't really write that much and tomorrow I plan to make a couple of subsections inside the gallery.. but for now, just enjoy!

Used the tripod for most shots (not for the ones where the cars where rotating obviously), with F8.0 most of the time and always the polarizer filter. with so many light sources, the filter is not really 100% usefull, but still works GREAT!

I see that the polarizing filter+tripod combination worked very nicely. After covering the Toronto Auto Show I can appreciate how much work and dedication it takes to shoot/edit/host all those pics. Asweome pictures as always. Thanks TT. 8)

Wow !!! Your pictures TT are simply fantastic. With these succeeded pictures I understand why people call you "The Picture king". I saved several of your images from this Salon de Genève. Thanks again for the Audi RS4 pix. :D

Thanks guys, I was really frustrated last year. I still had my old camera, no tripod, had to use the flash, the pics were shit :D

This time I promised that either I will take decent ones either I won't take any. Still, a couple are a little bit blurry (orange gallardo from the back, a couple of Brabus and the Maserati 4200 racer), but the rest is ok.

The tripod is definitely mandatory, so you can set aperture at an higher setting (not necessarily 8, but close at least) and obtain a nice sharp car with blurry ppl around..

but it's not as easy as I though LOL. to do so, I need to set the timer, so I won't move the camera by pressing the shutter button. a 2 second timer means that new ppl can come into the picture before the shutters activate. The speed beeing 1 second in most of the cases, it was still enough for some smart ass to mess it up and I had to retake many of them, or just wait a lot!
For the grey Superamerica I had to wait a good 10 minutes since I was across the stand entrance and all the "VIP" kept stanging in the damn way!

Also the polarizer is a nightmare indoor. While in the sun it is absolutely stunning, inside there are tons of different light sources + all the reflecting surfaces of the car, and this mean that, while you kill say 50% of the reflections or glare, you actually enhance another part :D so you need to really rotate it a fraction of a degree at a time untill you find a good balance. Needless to say I couldn't do it for every pic, it was already complicated.

And what about the Brabus stand? Pure nightmare. The ones of you taking pics of cars, should know pretty well how mean black cars can be. The digicamera simply mess up quite often, failing to find the proper focusing. ALL the Brabus pics needed some massive sharpening to become acceptable! And beeing black and shiny, the reflections on them were too much IMO! Still, they look just perfect in the metal :D

I would definitely need to find a way to access the motorshow during the press days LOL, but in the morning it is still ok for the first 90 minutes or so.

For the ones that will come, it is definitely some well invested time/money. I don't remember a Motorshow as good as this one. It is probably just a good moment for nice cars :D

Ok I have just spent parts of the last hour looking through and saving your pics......what an awesome show, and sensational pictures :D
I have to say my favourite is probably the yellow AM Vantage....so sexy :love: The Zonda F is not far behind though.....can't wait to see it tested :D
So after all the pics I feel like I was actually at the show......not bad for being so far away in fact :)
