Trip to Haynes
Discussion
Just a few shots from my quick trip to the motor museum. We are lucky to live about 20 mins away, and pay once at the start of the year and get 5 free trips thrown in!!
Anyway, any comments good or bad. Kit is a standard Nikon D40x with 18-55 lens - mostly on Auto - as frankly I am so new to this I don't know what else to do! My only query is that many shots have come out quite dark - I'm assuming that the flash just isn't strong enough to light the area - plus it's focused forward rather than up.. The Dusenbergs have had to have drastic Light alteration to get them even visible to a certain extent.
The other thing is framing. I try and frame a shot and inevitably there is something just behind that gets in the way - e.g. other cars, bits of building, reflections of people etc. Is this just a general issue and a case of moving around until you get something you are comfortable with? (hard with 2 kids charging around at the same time!!)
Cheers
