Charlotte International Auto Show.
November 20th, 2006 | by john |Took my camera and ventured into the Charlotte International Auto Show today. It was indoors with horrid fluorescent lighting conditions; I took about 176 photos on the floor, a dozen or so came out creative enough so wasn't a bad day. I am still learning a lot about photography and this was definitely a good experience. One thing I definitely realized was that the 50mm lens I have is a spectacular lens BUT it was way too long for shooting. It was very difficult for me to get a full-body shot of any car; I had to stand about 10-15 feet away from the car which caused another problem of people walking into my shot. So most of the time, I had to use my 18-55mm kit lens. The experience has left me wanting a lens like the Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L.
Well anyway, here are some of the photos:
So from the top-left corner to the bottom-right going from left-to-right and top-to-bottom: Ferrari Front, Ferrari Side, Ferrari Engine, Porsche Cayman S, Pontiac Solstice, Dodge Challenger, Ford Bronco Concept, Acura TSX VTEC Engine, and Hummer H2 Chrome Grill.
My brother-in-law tells me that Hot Import Nights started coming to Charlotte. I will be planning to go to that event although from researching past HIN events, it will be very difficult conditions for photography (very low light).
