There was a hotrod show in Scotts Valley today (about 5 miles from my house). I figured that it would be a good opportunity to park the racecar near the show, with the "for sale" signs prominantly displayed.
I didn't get any nibbles on my racecar, but I spent some time wandering about with my K20 and 18-250. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157622125850288/ Getting decent exposures when shooting cars in full sunlight is pretty challenging. The specular reflections will just blow out, and if you try to expose for the highlights, then everything else is so underexposed as to be useless. Short of carrying fill reflectors, or dealing with a fill flash, is there anything that can be done? Or is it simply a case that if you want good shots of a shiny hotrod with lots of chrome, you're going to have to do it in shade, or spend a lot of work, or both? -- The first step is learning to take great photos, the second step is learning to throw away ones that are merely good.
