Hey guys

Im going to the car show tonight and going to bring my slr. What have you guys found the best for settings when it comes to shooting in the round up center? That lighting can be totally unforgiving and i remember last year my photos were way to grainy.

Thx.

Largest aperture possible in Aperture Priority mode unless the lighting is good enough that it allows for a smaller one, adjust ISO to get a usable shutter speed. You can use Auto ISO if you want.

Tripod or flash if you don't want grainy.

Either that, or get yourself a 50mm F1.0

Benyl .. get lead for the 50mm F1.0? :D

Monopod is a good idea .. ISO .. most the time .. ~ 200-400 is good enough .. but in the Ferrari/Lambo section, you may need iso 800 ..

If you are going to use FLASH .. use it with a reflector, (a DIY one is ok) it makes a big different!

Enjoy.
