Got to attend a great Classic car event recently and took a few images with the X-T1 and 14mm, most at around 1600-2500 ISO under some mixed lighting to say the least.

Coupe De Ville

MK1 Ford Escort

Classic Corvettes

Zakspeed Capri replica!

"La Ferrari"

5 Generations of Ferrari together

F40

Renault 5 Turbo

Hope you enjoy looking!

I would have thought that the 14mm would be too wide a lot of the time, but I guess I still have a lot to learn.

Nice pics and thanks for changing my perspective

Thanks for the feedback, knowing what these shows were like it was a choice on the day between my 14mm (A new addition) and the 35mm - I didn't want to carry both lenses as it is an extremely tiring day out due to the huge crowds and constant shuffle walking pace.

The 14mm turned out to be just right in most cases, as freedom to take the shot you want isn't often available the ability to just quickly crouch and get a nice wide shot in proved perfect.

Little cropping was done in post too.

(I took the 35mm to this show last year and whilst I got some nice detail crops it was far too tight to get any full car shots considering the crowd circulating, I was pleased to be able to do something different this year and think cars really suit wide angle too)

Thankyou! No all images were RAW, processed in Lr CC.

Provia picture control and basic adjustments mostly to white balance (each hall is subtly different in yellow temp). Most images needed shadow lift and white/black point adjustment, no sharpening other than LR defaults and small amount of noise reduction for certain images.

Any car show with Escorts and Capris gets my thumbs up.
