MIAS 2009 follow-up
I went to the Montreal International Auto Show 2009 like I planned.
I brought my camera, like I planned.
Only thing that didn't go like I planned: I take my camera out of my pocket, turn it on, and... it displays an error message, it's basically broken. A problem with the zoom, not something I can fix myself, at all.
So, concerning everyone who requested anything from me: Don't panic! I'm planning to go back.
Concerning other people who didn't request anything: REQUESTS FOR PICTURES ARE STILL OPEN UNTIL FRIDAY THE 23RD. Just ask for a car model that's on sale in Canada and chances are that it's there. You can use my previous post for reference. Note that they also have a few exotics and oldies, as described in the previous post.
I'll take my other camera. Image quality will be 2816×2112 pixels (6.0 megapixels) with a reasonable amount of JPEG (lossy) compression.
I'm talking about requests here. Not commissions. This means that it's free and doesn't require anything on your part. I like taking pictures anyway. Only thing is that the picture will not be yours but will be distributed with a Creative Commons license, so you will be able to use it.
SO... besides camera problems, the Auto Show was really sweet; lots of good-lookin' shiny metal on four wheels, let me tell ya. Going back won't be a chore, don't worry about that. We accidentally skipped a few manufacturers, so we didn't see just everything. I have a map now, so it'll just be better.
A few cars made me seriously drool. *waaants* More info when I'll bring pics back to illustrate. =p
