Hot Rod Show @ Melbourne Museum

So I was in Melbourne over the weekend for a wedding and on the way to dinner, saw a big sign outside Melbourne Museum for a Hot Rod Show... made a mental note to come by the next day provided the family had some time to spare. They did

Took over 350+ photos and it's all here - http://s25.photobucket.com/albums/c6...ts/vhrashow10/

A few snaps:

Took a lot more pics inside the museum, but a lot came out all washed out cos of the lighting and the crazy reflections from the paint and chrome. The Melbourne sun was great to photograph under though. Anyway, enjoy!

Pics look great mate, are you using a 10-20mm for them Ray?

Wicked pics, thanks for sharing!

Well done, Ray. Very nice!

Cheers fellas. Yep, was using the Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 for those. Would like to upgrade to the newer f/3.5; would've helped a great deal taking those indoor shots!

Do you have the nifty fifty 1.8? It's not wide, but great indoors.

Hahaha sorry, I didn't have a lot of time due to sticking with family most of the time!

And Messy, yeah that's my other lens at the moment! Used that for the wedding shots. Very hard to get sharp photos as I'm still inexperienced when it comes to using MF. AF was a tad unreliable at times and slow; I've found it works best between a certain distance (1-5m), but the few photos I snapped that were sharp looked great. Awesome value for money!
