thommo2002 · 25th April 2006, 4:03 PM

Was this a "preview" event of the main show that you got access to somehow? One thing I notice in nearly every photo is that there are pretty much no people at all! I went to the Sydney Motor Show last year which had the same vehicles and it was absolutely packed. Coming from Darwin I simply couldn't believe how many people were there.

The shots certainly are quite nice as well. It makes a huge difference not having all the people crowded around the cars looking at them. Were these taken handheld or tripod?

thanks for the comments guys.....not bad for a first attempt

I was a little disappointed actually I was hoping for some more "cars of the future" but hey I guess room is not that great at the convention centre.

I was impressed by the new beemer 325i though......very nice indeed.Even the missus commented "why dont u get one of those

"
hmmmmm I may well do that now she said i should

Due to the lack of space there are not many cars on display......it was the full blown event not a preview.
As I quoted above i was disappointed.....there was a certain lack of People and concept cars.......
all shots were hand held.

Pity about the reflection of the Hyundai sign in the bonnet of the continental flying spur.

Great shots though, I wish mine turned out half as well.
