Great photos And I can see that you suffered by the red carpet.
I had huge trouble with white balance. My first days photos look like, I took them on Mars
Hopefully will upload the best of mine this evening. I had huge trouble with white balance. My first days photos look like, I took them on Mars
First time at the show, and I have to say the lighting was pretty se for getting decent photos unless you had some proper flash kit. Is it always that bad?
BTW - Did anyone attend the Coys auction on Saturday? Wondered what "Eleanor" went for; doesn't appear on the Coys site yet.
Lighting is always like that!
The red carpet around the Porsche Club stand was horrwndous - except for this pic -
There are 3 alternatives 1 Big flash! 2 No flash and a tripod - can get away with monopod 3 hope for a very bright day and that enough good light comes in!
You can get some very strange lighting on some stands at the NEC - this was at the NEC Classic and Sportscar show a few years ago. Impossible!

They used three different type of light; fluorescent, tungsten and spots. So the camera gets crazy while measuring the light. I changed my settings to measure on the centre and calculate overall environment. Also playing with white balance all the time, and setting white balance with a gray card :/First time at the show, and I have to say the lighting was pretty se for getting decent photos unless you had some proper flash kit.

Proper flash will solve the problem but that's a huge investment.
Regarding to auction, they were charging for £10 even for press. So I didn't attend. Actually, there wasn't enough space to take photo of each car.

They were letting people in to the auction on Sunday or a knock-down price of a fiver. Some of the cars and the chairs had gone so there was a little more room for photos...which I will get around to posting soon...Proper flash will solve the problem but that's a huge investment.

Eleanor fetched £85K (c.£95K including fees) but several cars didn't reach their reserve including Colin McCrae's Focus WRC.
Star of the show IMHO:
