Chicago International Auto Show :

First time ever shooting at an Auto Show. Here is an image of the most expensive car I found :

Apparently this is the 2008 model, so not even a new one! :rofl

    I don't shoot indoor shows at all any more....too much weird lighting and reflections....but you did a good job here. It's a shame that the placard blocks the full front view. In the past, I found that there's usually some attendant nearby who will agree to me moving the obstruction briefly to make the shot. If I couldn't find somebody, I'd just move it enough to get my shot and quickly put it back. I never had a problem doing that. In your case, you could have moved the placard enough to get a full shot yet keep it in view for the info on it.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    These cars were all behind a barrier, which prevented me getting closer, and unfortunately getting shots from around the sides etc. You are right tho, there was an attendant, but she was very busy taking shots for people on their camera phones. Will keep that in mind for the next time I decide to do an auto show.

    Cool car, but not much documentary about the shot itself.
