A day out with camera and child...
1

Last Sunday my older son and I took a day to unwind. We drove a few hours to see Porsche by Design: Seducing Speed, a temporary exhibition of 22 Porsche cars from '38 through today. We took lots of photos, each taking turns with the NX100/30mm pancake and a Minolta Autocord twin lens reflex camera. As usual, I used the NX to meter the shots for the Autocord. On the way home we took a detour to see the James B. Hunt Jr. Library at NCSU.

Anyway, photos:

'49 356

940/6 Prototype

Type 908K Prototype

'61 Type 356B 1600 Carrera GTL Abarth Coupe  (Whew!)

356 Carrera 2 Coupe

'38 Type 64 Berlin-ROM Racer

Son with Minolta Autocord.  His first real outing with the camera...

Checking out the Twelve Shades of Awesome that is the Hunt Library...

Great shots.  You make your NX 100 sing! I'm really impressed with the noise rendition. What iso were you using for the car exhibit photos?

Very nice pictures, showing that nx100 can still do a great job, when used by a talented photographer. If you like cars (like I do), please have a look at my galleries, where you'll find some old pics of the International Car Museum of Torino, northern Italy.

Re: A day out with camera and child...

Thanks guys!

WSTRUTH:

I was shooting at ISO 1600 to match the film speed in the Autocord.  I also had the NX stopped down to f/3.5.  I was pleased with the noise levels too; it's higher than I'd normally use, but it held up OK.  If I weren't using it to meter the Autocord, I could probably have shot at f/2 and ISO 400.

TECHNOWORLD:

Thanks, you're too kind!    I was thinking of your Torino shots when I was at the Porsche exhibit.  I like your shots of the Ferrari 412, Alfa Disco Volante and (I think...?)  Alfa Type 33.  (Cars21)
