"La Bella Macchina: The Art of Ferrari" is an exhibit of 12 significant Ferraris at the Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk, VA through July 20th.

I went back yesterday and managed to get a few decent pics, despite the fact that flash photography was not allowed. Teasers:

PS- Bookler, I'm sorry I couldn't get better pics of the blue one you love so much; the lighting was sub-standard in that area. Perhaps elgorey got some better ones?

Good stuff,

Jon

they were not allowing flashes so many of the pics are blurry

 

What's wrong with not using flash with a camera? Nothing! A handhold down to 1/2 second (even 1 second) just takes practice, proper bracing, and controlled breathing . Flash photography can also ruin the mood of pictures too...making them blahhh if you are inexperienced or don't have a camera with TTL flash capabilities while using a good bounce/swivel flash unit.

Those pictures aren't acutally that bad...pretty decent actually. Just a little blurry.

If anyone heads through Vegas, there's a cool "Art and History of the Motorcycle" exhibit in the Gugenheim inside of the Venice hotel/casino. Everything from steam-powered wooden bikes to radial engines (inside the front wheel!) to paris-dakar bmws.

I thought mine turned out ok, considering it's been 12 years since my high school photography class. I was using a $200 Fuji digital POS from Wal-Mart at 2MB and mostly manual settings. I would've brought the tripod if I'd known there was no flash photography allowed, just to help with steadying my hand for those long exposures...

PS- If you think the ~70 on my page were blurry you should see the ~200 others I came home with, those were REALLY blurry.

another hobby, esp one as gratifying as photography *sigh*
