NAIAS Detroit - My First Time

[aCiD99]

So this was my first time to the NAIAS, and was provided the once in a lifetime opportunity to pretty much have the entire show floor to myself for an hour. Except for about 5 other VERY professional photographers.

And without further adieu, here's 8/1170 images from the 9 hour day yesterday.

I wanna make this a poster.

Was able to take this from 100' away, there was really no one there:

How the cars sleep when everyone goes home

I post this not because it's a good picture, it isn't, but because I have to represent for my favouritest car, in its worst colour.

And on the topic of the above picture, Detroit really tends to using glass barriers around all their cars which was REALLY frustrating and made the day difficult. Whereas Toronto uses decorative pipe barriers, or velvet ropes. Which I find much more accommodating to photography.

Nice shots! Love the angles. Got any more of the new RX-8?

Thanks. Let me go through them all again tomorrow (just on the way to bed), and I'll see what else there is of it. I know I got the rear, but I may have omitted a full body shot.

I'm going again next week, so requests are welcome :P Although that will be during the public showing, so getting clear shots will likely be near impossible. I want some full body shots of it myself, I love it, so I'll do my best when I return.

^Thanks! I would love to see more of your work from the show. Got some great shot's! And that 430 is also my favorite car to date! Would love to have one.

#1 is very nice!

[DVS_WiNdz]

Great shots! like everyone said #1 is very nice. The R8 is hot

[elysium17]

I absolutely love #1 and #4 wow...

[aCiD99]

Thanks guys.

I'm only disappointed with 4 because of the "info stand" thing, maybe I can PS that out :P

I think I'm going to get the Camaro printed poster size I think.

I'm not going again until Friday, so I'm sure someone else will step up with RX8 pics before then. Couple others, but were more focused on the Furai:

Here are a couple of the RX8.

Awesome captures! Couldn't make it this year, was able to attend last year. But last year I only had a Canon point and shoot. :(

[vr6pwns_me]

love the pics! one of these years I want to make it a goal to get to all the big shows, one way or another.

and hmmmm, the RX8 isnt bad, they didnt change too too much but it looks good.

Thanks, I will take back what I said about that being its worst colour, silver is its worst colour, that can be the 2nd worst :P

Don't feel bad about not making it to Detroit, Toronto will be more than enough. Having been to TO many times, and Detroit for the first time this year, Detroit wasn't really much better.

Thanks for the added shots of the RX-8!! Again great stuff.

[aCiD99]

On the topic of the first one, are there any online places that print poster size prints? (What I'm considering is attached.)

I'm going to post some panoramas of booths soon too I think.

[PhotosGuy]

Need online printing suggestions (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=236584)

Great shots, love the Camaro.

[marcus769]

Wow, the Camaro is great! Do you have any more of the ZR1 corvette!? I'd love some more of that!

Also.. Did you use a monopod or anything?

Thanks, yes I have more, and no, I'm anti mono/tri-pod use.
