not sure leh. couldnt go anywhere near the rolls royces. there was a high-class social gathering there comprising angmohs and taitais. they even had a person playing a real harp there.
lifestyles of the rich n the famous. sighhh. -
see only no $ buy

Great pics man! Pity there weren't more of the Carrera GT though . Anyway, that Rolls Royce is the Phantom if I'm not wrong, and yeah it's logo and flip in and out. Did you see the Ferrari F430 there? Or the E60 M5? And how did you manage to get the preview tickets?
Cheers! -
It is that rolls royce that got featured on top gear. Its not a production model.
-
Is the new nissan sunny launch?
-
is the ferrari section fenced? can i take pic with the modenas?
-
glad you guys enjoyed the pics. i haf a lot more actually. 102 pics. jus need to resize them. any requests?
kr0n: thx! my phototaking skills haf improved lots since dreamcarsasia when i had many blur pics. pics taken by panasonic lumix fx1 btw.
no pity! i haf many more pics of the carrera gt. it was one of my fav cars i was hanging ard it for damn long. (i haf more carrera gt pics down below jus for u) the real pity was tt it there was a glass fence n nobody was allowed to sit in it. and they locked up all the porsches' doors. bummer.
no ferrari 430 in sight tho nor the new M5. dont think there was a BMW booth. my cousin got 2 complimentary tickets but cudnt make it so he gave them to me. i popped by after bio O level lol.
ditzy: really? thats cooll. my dad (veh suahku abt all this car stuff) was wondering where the wiper was on tt toyota blue mpv concept car lol. anw the motorshow rocks. i think this has more of my dreamcars than dreamcarsasia (i went for tt also)
ed15: u talking abt the latio? yea it was launched/on display there at the nissan booth. i've got two pictures coming right up for u too! one of the latio n one of the latio sport.
toyota concept car (the other one)
the latio cars on display (ed15's new nissan sunny?)
mitsu colt turbo (baby evo haha)
carrera GT photos as promised
first aid station hahaha -
yea the ferrari and maserati section is fenced up with those barriers they use tt u can pull out a belt at the little entrance. i din try to go in but i think they might let u in if u ask nicely. xD i saw this guy in a polo tee in the section so they might let u in. the mazda rx8 and mx5 are open to public to sit in and try out. hotness.Originally posted by Ek9LoVeR-:is the ferrari section fenced? can i take pic with the modenas? -
hey dude nice pics. any more pics of the lambo? thx
-
u saw a guy in polo tee that went in?
-
lambo: yea i haf a couple more. too bad i din get the pics of the whole row of lambos on the ground floor of suntec convention hall jus left of the main door.
evo8 mr wrc-style colour scheme
the integra looks different from the ITRs i see on the road. a lot uglier hahaa. and the rims look like Gen.2 rims. gross.

lambo pics
is the lambo section fenced up? wad other cars are we allowed to sit in?
thx for the pics and info... really appreciate it... -
the roadster has a huge platform ard it so u can only stand n see frm farfar away. theres a water-filled moat around tt too. so no posing for photos wif the car. unfortunately. but the carrera GT u can get up close n personal cos the glass barriers like kneeheight. as long as u dun touch it it shd be ok.
im not sure abt today onwards maybe they might open to public to pose n closeup? but yest was like for all the rich men to go and check out and mebe write a few cheques. so poor ppl like me canot touch but rich ppl like the old man in the pic can ogle at the engine n all tt. gedit?
it depends on the car company lor. all the exotics all canot la. but honda nissan toyota peugeot suzuki opel all tt shd be able to sit inside la. except for the new models and concept cars tt are on the platforms i guess. if ure going late, jus look at the cars wif handprints on the door handles. those shd be okay to sit.
haha u're welcome. jus thot i'd share some photos for those who are hyped up abt the motorshow. this is such a nice way to enter sgforums lol. thx all who've been enthu abt this thread. -
Bro,
You got any Pics of WRX STI? -
the subaru booth got 3 or 4 imprezas but i only took 1 pic. but i got the rally car tho. theres a silver one with the hand sticker on the rear window but its a lot meaner than the wrx at taka.Originally posted by eric3417:Bro,

thx lotsOriginally posted by bismarck:nice pics
hey darren, care to share with me how u take the pics ?
using a similar lumix...fz1 on monday...when i go with a few friends.
how do u avoid the noise and underexposure problems ? i used the ISO-200 setting on my camera instead of auto according to my photog fren's advice. also, if u haf battery life to spare, turn on ur histogram on ur display tt will give u a spiky graph. try to keep most of the graph in the middle instead of at the 2 ends cos if tt happens ur pic is over/underexposed. also, try to manually set the white balance instead of using auto since ur pictures wont look yellowed or anyth. pics shdnt be underexposed cos its pretty bright. most of the booths have a lot of white in them. u can try the flash+ambient light setting if the pic is still too dark but make sure ur hand is steady for tt. but i din use flash more the pics i posted here.
oh and i turned my lcd brightness all the way to minimum. save battery plus if u look thru lcd it wont be so bright cos lcds tend to make the pics seem brighter than they rly are so when u transfer to com its all messed up. hope this helps i'll ask him for more advice for u n i'll tell u asap. haf fun at the show.
i took the first pic without flash but it was too dark. took the 2nd pic with flash + ambient light, much better but had a bit of the flash bounce off the perspex. btw tts the renesis rotary engine from the mazda rx8 -
wtf??? tt dude is planning to get a Murcielago Roadster???

i wonder if the noise is gonna be too much to bear for me at iso200.
anyway for WB, what did u set it too ? or did u use 18%grey card ?
lcd..i tend to use the electronic viewfinder so shld be a problem....
anyway regarding the renesis shot, what u can do is shoot at an angle to the perspex surface....instead of shooting head-on, 90deg, shoot at say...45deg ? the bounced off light will hit something else instead of coming to the camera... -
yea i waited till they got away from the rally subaru then i took the picture. cant stand them its so irritating when they sit all over the cars and block out the car itself. ppl who go to motorshows to see the racequeens shd be dragged out immediately. still rmb dreamcarsasia when all the guys were crowding ard the racequeens on stage. wad an amusing sight.Originally posted by FireIce:nice pix

thats wad i asked my fren too but he said it shd be okay. but it does look a little noisy when i zoom in to 100% but its not much of a problem to me. for WB i had it on manual. i jus aimed it off my white sch u pants cos i came from sch lol. i forgot wad an FZ1 was, jus ran a search and realised omg its tt damn cool one tt i wanted to buy but no money to.Originally posted by bismarck:i see.

but the perspex is cylindrical not flat so u'll def get some reflection off it if u aim at the engine itself. ohwell its not that big a deal cos i wasnt very interested in the engine. jus taking pics for fun.
my fren says i shd use a polarizer to get rid of the reflections but i think its very carshow-ish to have all the reflections and all tt. i think it makes the photos look nicer.
hope ur pics turn out great. rmb to post them on the forums too yea?
