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
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
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
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
Talking about a good moment for nice cars, for the ones that missed this. Just oyur random dealership:
