My uncle from NC was in Monterey this week to auction a car he designed, and a company he's partners in built. It's the week of the Concours show at Pebble Beach, as well as a few big time car auctions in Monterey. Enjoy. There are lots of pics...mostly vintage cars. Of course I didn't have my cam ready as we were leaving lunch...white Carrera GT followed by an F40.

Only PS work was resize.

First up is my uncle's car. It started as a 63 Stingray split window coupe. The cab was moved forward 24" and the engine moved to the rear...and let's say beefed up a bit. Everything was fabricated by their company. Sub 3 second 0-60, 1027hp, 915 lb-ft.











Now this is how you park a Lambo.









This car is gorgeous....OG Jag.




























Also got to do this driving simulator...there was a vid posted a while back.



Pretty badass.

I wish the outside ones were a bit better, but it was midday broad daylight. Any tips for that?

dj02

what where your settings? auto or manual? give me a the exif data from one of the out side pics.

dubcac

Manualllllllllll. I'll just use the first pic.

Used the 18-55 kit lens for the pics and the onboard light meter.

ISO 100
f/5
1/800

when outside try to use a higher f/stop

for example i would of gone with like

ISO 200
F12-14
1/200-150

I would probably keep it to around f/8 - most of those kit lenses are sharpest at f/8 or so, and higher f stops can actually degrade quality due to diffraction of light.

I also find it helpful to have the playback set to highlights - not sure how canon does it, but Nikon has a setting where it blinks all the blown highlights... So you can shoot, check, and re-adjust if necessary.

How would that change the look of the shots?
