Fantastic light in that gallery -- is is natural light? (sun light).

Thanks and anytime.

I wish the lighting was natural but it wasn't. There was a corridor and a door where a little bit of natural light passed through but it was very little. The majority of illumination came from the lights in the ceiling. And this was a bit problematic because I was shifting positions constantly and always had to readjust the camera settings and take "test shots" to see if the effect I wanted was created. It was hard and exhausting work.

Re: ***Mercedes-Benz Milestones of Automotive Design***







Nice Chris really good exhebition.

But still - look at the Mercedes badge on this model looks like it's going to fall off


No wonder Mercedes had so much quality issues in 90's when they even couldn't get their models right - just kidding but irony is here

A really beautiful presentation Chris. Your photography is improving at an alarming rate... Save this for your portfolio.

Thanks for this post... I enjoyed every image and comment.

Haha!

On those models they probably added a little MB star for effects purposes to see how it would look.

The bionic car was not really a styling concept -- the entire project was an experiment in design from the natural world.

The boxfish shape is extremely aerodynamic but they were not only interested in its form but also the ultra-light construction of its skeleton (see the skeleton model below)

Guess someone from Buick was also at this exhibition and took some notes.
