You read the title right this shot was taken at the 2010 Cleveland Autoshow on B&W film. The digital image was scanned by Dodd Camera here in Cleveland. I’m starting to experiment with some film since I’ve never owned a film camera other than some disposable ones. So far I’ve been happy with what I’m getting. I good tip for getting clean shots at a busy auto show is use a wider angle lens. Here I used a 35mm. It forces you to get closer to the subject to fill the frame so people will be less likely to walk through your shot. It’s also easier to hand hold wider angle lenses in low light.
