Looking for advice on how to improve my shots shooting Nikon D7200 in Aperture priority .
I actually thought todays pics were pretty good . I just picked a few randomly that I'm pretty sure I shot in A priority, because later I switched to Program .
I shot about 150 pics ,most looked ok

Thank you

Stan--
These are all technically quite nice. Good clarity, saturation, color balance, all those things. Years ago, when I took a couple of college photography classes, the instructor of one of the other classes was usually in the lab area when we were processing and printing. When he gave advice, his reminder to "check the edges" became like a tagline. It got to the point that he didn't even have to say it. Just seeing him would bring it to mind. Then I didn't even have to see him to tbink about it.

What he was saying was to spread our gaze and attention beyond our primary subject of interest. This is especially good counsel at places like car shows, which are generally set up with little or no thought given to what works best for photography. Try to look out for incongruencies...things that don't mix. Like horizons that align with car roof edges, stacks of old pallets, metal posts welded to wheels.

I realize that driver-side quartering views are pretty much a standard. But be sensitive to whether a step closer might realign a conflicting horizon line. Could a step closer or a tighter crop eliminate that pipe stand? Could a slightly more head-on view get rid of the pallets?

Sometimes the answer is going to be that, "no, it can't." That may require either accepting the distraction or possibly removing or minimizing it via post-processing. But other times, you may be able to strengthen your image relatively easily.

Good luck as you learn and practice.

I shoot virtually all of my car show work using A priority. I'll change that if necessary but that is seldom the case. This would apply to your 7200. larryepage posted some good overall advice ....applicable to all situations, not just car shows. At the big international shows I focus on, humongous crowds and a myriad other distractions are the norm. Some of that I can mitigate with changing my position, most of the time I just have to accept it and make sure I'm focused on the elements I'm trying to emphasize.

Thank you , these are much better than what I was shooting . I got playing with too many different settings on the D7200 and finally reset it back to original settings
