Went to the L.A. Auto show, like we do every year... lots of fun as usual, and some really sweet cars....

kind of hard to get shots without people, but I like this one...

what do you think? I did some work on it, but feel it came out half way decent...

Comments and suggestions and critiques, and sticks and stones... always welcome :)

    Thats a sweet car. Nice Sharp picture. I think it would be better if it was a little more to the left. Have you cropped it at all? If not you could try to get rid of all the dead space. But either way, it looks Nice and Sharp.

    Very sharp, nice angle, excellent exposure. You could have perhaps turned the camera a bit left and included a little more of the nose instead of the dead space. Of course that may very well have muffed it up as I said that I like the angle.

    Overall it's an excellent car-show shot! clap.gif

    Nice shot. I've done the same type of shot with my 717 at the Philly Auto Show. The turntable it's on makes things a bit tricky.

    I think it came out great. I wish all the people wouldn't go to the auto show, then the pics would be so much easier... I almost... ALMOST scored a press pass to the Detroit International Auto Show. With it, you get in the press days. There are 4 press days, and after the first, it is empty... great for taking photos. Anyone lurking out there in the Detroit area that is reading this and has a press pass the want me to borrow for a day, please contact me!
