Here’s The Second Round Of Photos at Tokyo Auto Salon!

Now that you’ve seen the shots, here are the mistakes I make.

The First Giant Mistake I Made

Shooting In JPEG vs RAW

The dynamic lighting indoors with the various lighting conditions really lends itself to the uncompressed data in the darks and lights that the RAW image format captures. When making adjustments in Lightroom adjusting the sliders too far on JPEG images leads to some artifacting where the loss information occured.

I thought that I would be using the burst function more than I actually did, so I ended up shooting compressed shots for the faster in camera processing, but that ended up being a really bad mistake!.

The Second Mistake

Was not having a wide angle lens, which made it very difficult to get the kind of shots I wanted with the limited space. Being broke, it’s not like I could afford a wide angle lens, but I really hope to be able to bring one in the future.

The Last Mistake

was bringing my tripod! The camera, extra lens, and my backpack were already a burden in itself. I thought that I might be able to take some cool shots with the combination of the phone app, tripod, and camera. The wireless connection doesn’t work nearly as smoothly as it should so I was left feeling a little encumbered. Especially when I had to do things like pay for my ticket, recieve a map, or the free goodies handed out.

When I was invited to go to Tokyo Auto Salon, it was an offer I couldn’t refuse. Not a fan of big crowds of people, or really leaving the comfort of my own home on the weekends, it was my love of cars that made me leave my shell.

In my pursuit to make a living from creative work, I often hit walls where it feels like I’m failing to improve at a certain thing. I’m glad I went to tokyo auto salon because I really got my ass kicked.

I Learned So Much In My One day There

There are moments in life where you get destroyed so badly that it sparks a paradigm shift. That day made me realize that I had so much to grow as a photographer as the crowds of people forced me to work my Camera’s controls more rapidly than I had ever before.(I shoot in manual mode) The lack of time,space, and the random strangers who apparently don’t care that you’re taking a put me in a position where I had to come up with more creative compositions.

These are some of my best shots, stay tuned for part two where I’ll write about my mistakes!!
