NAIAS 2006:Final~New pics/238 photos, 74 new!

[Schwalbe]

Thank you infinitely nthfinity for this great and complete gallery of best the concept cars at the NAIAS Auto show. Unfortunately because of my tons of work at my job I couldn't be there this year at Detroit for the Auto show. It's a chance for me and for the rest of JW members that you took a lot of awesome pictures.

My favorite cars of the bunch are naturely every Audis you took in pictures, but to be more precise about concept cars, I very like the Dodge Challenger & Chevy Camaro and the new Muira.

I didn't notice in the past your watermarks on your pix, it looks really professional.

Cheers !

Oh yes ! That's sounds very promising. Considering the fact there was several model which I will have liked enormously to see in person such the RS4, S8 and S6, thus it's a chance that you could be there to take pictures.

Thanks in advance nthfinity.

yeah, it was good to see you and T-bird too

i should've warned you about I 75 lol... Friday +north + 530pm doesnt work... i've been in that same jam wayyyyy to many times when i lived in Detroit. usually on weekdays, its 'only' an extra hour it may have been better to have taken Woodward out... but hindsight is 20:20.
im pleased with the way most of the images turned out... i guess that extra 15 minutes on the way to your car really wasnt that much after all

Thank you so much nthfinity for all these new awesome Audi pictures. This is very appreciated by me that you could take pictures of the new S6 and S8.

But the pictures set which I must especially underline it's definitively the new Audi B7 RS4. They are sharp and crisp and thanks to have been enough patient to take perfect shot of my favorite car's.

Normally, I was supposed to be with you guys at this 2006 NAIAS, but I had to much work at my job in january. Sorry everso.

I hope next year I will have the time.

soon... should be up by saturday

[nthfinity]

OK, final Bump

they are ALL up... mostly at the bottom... i found a few more concepts i didnt post earlier.

238 pictures in all... damn, i need to find a better way to speed up the process lol...
for no tripod, most of the images turned out pretty good... and minimal flash useage, losing patience

good luck @ geneva's media event.
a word of warning to you TT... Media photographers are absolutely EVIL... dont budge one inch for them... and Dont be afraid to tell them to get the hell out of your way (well... politely at first )

oh, and they arent always trying to get the best shot... just a full shot they can use... there is an interesting device they somteimes use... a monopod + a remote... and they hold the pod up high for a high-angle shot...

just a few ideas

[TT]

HAHA, thanks for the pics and tips well, don't forget I will officially be a media photographer too so I am not scared And BTW, I won't be in such a rush, so I can wait. I think I'll also try to stay untill the closing at least one of the two days, when ppl will be in the press room to upload pics and press infos
The most boring thing will be for instance when a TV presenter will record his bit on a car.. well, if it will be Vicki it wil be fun to see her in real life, but still, if they do 2 or 3 takes I guess it's a pita

Oh BTW, I've got a question about your editing process. Apparently you are doing something another guy I know does. It's about trying to lighten up darker areas without overexposing the rest. Am I wrong?
I noticed it in several pics where there is such a strong metallic feeling.. unnatural actually.

Or am I just seeing things?

finally

I know you've been busy and I saw how many pics you had to sort through but they turned out great.
