Carshows are usually the worst place to shoot since it's loaded with foot traffic but I couldn't attend my first C&C without some gear.

Matter fact, everybody there had a camera and surprisingly not just their phones either.

Very interesting shots. I've been to plenty of C&Cs and have never seen anybody with off-camera flash. What was your setup?

Thanks, had a good time considering there were over 1000 people crammed into a parking lot.
I had to stack an ND with a CPL since I don't have anything darker than a 3 stop.
Tripod mounted, remote trigger, popped an AB1600, then merged in PS.

I know they have hosted these C&C's for a while now, I'd recommend you check out the next one to really get your drool in full effect. ;)

I went as well! Drove from Sacramento, still sorting through the shots. But I agree tons of people were there!

I saw you shooting at one point and didn't even pick up that you were using a ND...

After shooting this I had the same thought to run long exposures to blur people... you beat me to it

Awesome stuff man!

Heres a little of what I got

^Thanks man, I'm a sucker for wide pans, love that first one.

I wish I could've shown up sooner, made the mistake of arriving at 9:15 in the midst of mayhem.

Where is the meet up spot? This isn't their show room in the shots. I would like to get my 65 mustang and take it out for a drive and get some shots of the cars there.

I love Aventadors, but the pics of the SLS are simply beautiful.
