Hi guys
Going to visit MPH Show (Top Gear) this weekend.
Any recomendations for setting my Sony A450 with Sigma 17-70mm 2.8-4.5
I do have minolta lenses as well 50mm 1.7 and 28mm 2.8
should i take them all? Do have jessops flashgun too, will it make a lot of difference?

Many Thanks
 
Its a bit pants for photography really... as all car shows you are lucky to be able to get a clean shot of the car, too many people around them or other clutter.

Flash, maybe, but don't expect to bounce it, the ceiling is about 1 million metres above your head.

Hope you enjoy the show, I thought it was pants when I went!
 
Take stilts. It's the only way you'll get people's heads out of the way! Forget flash. High iso and hope the noise isn't too bad.
 
And if it's in the same halls as the Supercross was last year, the orange lights will kill your images.

I'd forget the camera and enjoy the evening!

I was working on one of the stands in the Classic show and had pre-show access, and still didn't bother taking the camera.

NEC is just awful for taking pics, plus having the hangover from hell didn't enthuse me much either lol!
 
Only way I've ever found is using a really wide angle lens otherwise the crowds just get in the way, or to accept the crowds are there and use them as part of the photograph to tell a story
