Auto Show [[NAIAS). You Going? Thoughts......

**artds** · January-20-10, 12:28 PM

I went for the first time in years and really enjoyed myself.

Ford had the best cars of any automaker on the floor hands down. Although I thought it was a little strange that they didn't have a single concept car at the show, which I suppose has a positive element to it since that means you can actually buy anything Ford was showing.

GM's designs were pretty good too, especially the Cadillacs and Buicks .

Chrysler is still trying to sell the public on lackluster designs like this I'm afraid...

...and as a Jeep owner I was disappointed that they didn't have the 2011 Grand Cherokee at the show.

espark- were you at the autoshow monday morning? Same models when I was taking pictures. Nice camera work though. I just got a DSLR and am still learning it...overexposed some of mine.

That bright spot lighting can sure mess with the automatic exposure.

I told my camera to watch for blow-outs [[there's usually a mode on the lcd that will blink on those spots after the shot) I justed adjusted the exposure with the +/- and took another shot. Somtimes half the car was blinking! I went on Tuesday morning. On that day they let you in an hour early [[8am) if you have a camera -- so you could get more car and less people. I think it was to give those that want to participate in their photography contest a chance to get better shots.

I heard those Audi's are hot cars...guess the little fire started over there yesterday.

Did you post any of your shots on-line?
