By the way...shooting at car shows I have found is quite difficult as there are people everywhere!

I know that at many air shows you can buy a ticket that allows access to the static displays an hour or two before the general public. This is intended for photogs (like me) who want a chance at a photo without a bunch of people in the background. They may offer similar passes for car shows, but I don’t know.

Yeah, that sounds ideal... I didn't have that luxury this time around for a variety of reasons.

It helps the shot if they do something funny, at least.

counterpoint: i hate when photography fans expect everyone to clear an area for a shot they want. LOL (i assume you’re one of the cool ones, though)

You would assume correct, I have never asked anyone to move. I feel the same way. I usually try and just wait it out.

some of my best show shooting experiences have been:

- rainy overcast day, so everyone stays home (bonus water beads on paint and chrome!)

- Sunday afternoon as they are packing up and the crowds are gone

- whenever there’s a “main event” attraction, like a parachute sky-dive team, to draw everyone to a central spot

- when it’s really packed, shoot a panel, a badge, a wheel, etc... instead of a whole car. It can be just as visually striking and you totally crop out the horde of gawkers

and what ttyymmnn said, because he’s better at this than I am!
