Chicago Auto Show

[Mastamarek]

ehhh ... I'm pretty unhappy about how they turned out. I thought its gonna be much easier job there. Lighting was terrible. Lights were reflecting everywhere. I had a CPL but it simply didn't work. One reflection was gone but then another one appeared as the light was reflecting of everything. people everywhere, who bump into you and walk in front of your shot. Maybe I'm just in a bad mood. I don't like how they turned out. I suck ... at least you can comment on my pp. I kinna like it but it might be too much for some folks. If you don't like plz let me know what works and what doesn't work for ya.

here are some picturez:

I suck ... :D Everything you said about indoor shows is true & most of them suck, which doesn't mean that you do. OTOH, any show is better than no show at all? ;)

great shots on the car. raw images are sharp but the pp ones really makes the images pop.

I battled similar as you. People were extremely rude this year. I went in knowing what I was up against, and I wasn't let down, let's just say that. Lighting was tough, and because they use a lot of spotlights to accent the curves, reflections are abundant..

Audi's set up was awesome, overall the show was a complete failure. Very small in comparison of years past and obvious that there were budget cuts on the display's..

hehe, I haven't been to the previous ones but this one was ok. But then again, I have nothing to compare it to. I do wish there were more exotics though. I don't want to pay to see dodge neon or something similar ^^ gimmi Ferrari!! :D
