Simeone Museum Photo Trek NEW DATE!
From their website:The Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum contains over 75 historically significant cars spanning from 1908 through 1970. Over the last fifty years, they have found their way together in this location through the meticulous work and dedication of our founder, Dr. Fred Simeone. The greatest motorcar manufacturers in the world are all represented in our world-famous collection. Examples include Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, Bugatti, Mercedes, Jaguar, Bentley, Porsche, Aston Martin, in addition to, Corvette, Ford, and more! In 2019, based on a data-centric methodology, The Classic Car Trust named our collection the number one classic car collection in the world. Additionally, the Simeone Museum library contains one of the greatest automotive reference collections in the world.
We have visited Simeone in the past, and it has always been a fun day of photographing some of the world’s greatest cars. One of the things I really love about this museum, is the setting that the cars are shown in. Scenes that match the cars make unique backdrops for your images, with much less distractions than you might find elsewhere.
There will be a pre-trek Zoom class about one week prior to the event to go through an overview of the museum, details on what to expect and how to best capture unique images while there. We will discuss lens choice, exposure settings, how to deal with contrasty light and more! No special gear is needed; we can work with whatever gear you have. A detailed list of suggested gear and anything else you need to know, will be email a few weeks prior to the event.
Following our time at Simeone, we will have a group image review via Zoom, to go through some composition and editing tips to help bring out the best in your images.
