Classic Car Show at the NEC

[David Stallard]

FACT - I am definitely NOT an indoor photographer! NEC in Birmingham has to be one of the worst places for a photographer, the lighting is horrendous, and as soon as the doors open you can forget trying for whole car shots due the sheer amount of people. You pay a fortune to get in and on top of that they charge you £8 to park. . . . 'really'. . . . I thought it was only the government that bent you over backwards.

It was good to do it once BUT I for one will never return! These are a few of the ones that were 'okay' enough to keep - even some of these are questionable.

#1


#2


#3


#4


#5 - what the heck is 'Hydra-matic Drive?'


If you want to take a peek at the others you can find them HERE

Not many and I'm really not sure about 90% of them but felt I had to keep a few at least.

Thanks for looking

The Ford Capri shots reminded me how I liked them. I know what you mean about shows like this, too many humanoids around lol. I like cropped images of cars, sometimes more interesting than the complete car.

Thanks John, it's not just the amount of people it's how rude and inconsiderate they can be - lost count of how many times I had just framed the shot and someone would just walk right in front of me (some after seeing me set myself up) or the others that push past without a word. Nope - not for me, give wide open spaces any day.
