Visited Stahl's Automotive Collection yesterday. Almost didn't bring the 20D, but then thought "You learn more from mistakes...," so...
Luckily I ran across a gentleman that actually knew what he was doing who gave me a couple pointers. Right off "The light here is all over the place. Best just to leave it on Auto WB and cross your fingers." (Or words to that effect.) (In that one from alone there was fluorescent, mercury, incandescent and daylight.) The other recommendation he made was to go for close-ups of interesting features, so that's what I mostly did.
Here are the two photos my wife felt were the best and most interesting. (I agree with her on the first. Not so certain about the second.)
This one was part of a display of an old, un-reconditioned International Harvester farm truck. The back was full of stuff they said was typical of travelling Okies during the depression. I found this bag fascinating.
I must apologize. I could have at least made a note of what make and model car this hood ornament was on . (Goes to show where my focus was.)
Personally, I liked this one better:
I really liked this one:
As you'll see, I really strugged with DOF in that lighting.
The rest of the photos remaining after culling-out the truly poor ones can be seen at Stahl's Car Museum 20180106, if anyone's interested.
The eighth photo in that directory, #2040, was taken by the gentleman I met, with my camera, to demonstrate what he was trying to tell me. I wish I could take credit for it.
