Just a few shots from a local VW meet, took along my 18-70 kit lens and my 55mm M42 lens.

What a tease. I was hoping for a thread of classic bugs

Sorry about that! As it is a local meet a lot of them are peoples daily drivers! Will have to wait for the summer shows for the bugs!

Nice pics but perhaps a tad underexposed? Nice angles on some of the shots.

Under? I edited them in Lightroom and they came out ok from there, they look ok to me too?

Anyone else see this?

Yep.. they are all underexposed. I suspect you do not calibrate your monitor.... and your brightness is set too bright on your monitor.

For instance:

Color Sampler tool in Photoshop shows 99,106,112. True white is 255,255,255. For a shot like this with proper lighting... whites should be around 230-240 or so across the board, but since the whites are in the shade, and the rest of the car in direct light... that doesn't work here... as it blows the rest of the car out. But you could still be closer than you are... you have to do a balancing act between the sunny highlights and the darker areas (increased brightness a bit, and did some dodging)
