Photographs and commentary by Dick Snoke
I did not get out much in the first half of the month for a variety of reasons, most of which had to do with weather. But I did get a couple outings. First, a few of us from the camera club went to the Savoy Automobile Museum in Cartersville, GA. This is a new museum, but it is very nice. And then a couple days later, we finally got a sunrise worth watching.
A the Savoy Museum, the setup was nice, but the lighting and car placement presented all sorts of problems finding nice compositions to photograph. The car placement was particularly difficult because you always had other cars or people in the background. The lighting was not overly harsh, but it was enough to create all sorts of problematic reflections. Further, museum rules prohibit tripods or monopods, so it all has to be handheld. That means high ISO and some serious noise in some cases.
The sunrise a couple days later was nice but not great.
