I went to a car show the cars were so close to each other and lots of people I decided to take pictures of the cars driving in. What is the best way to remove the people in case they do not want their faces in the pic? Whew!6

There are usually many photographers at a car show and the people in attendance should know their pictures are going to be taken. I wouldn't worry about it but if you must, you can blur them in post processing and in many cases you can totally remove them.

Or consider doing only extreme close-up of the cars' best features... a fin here, a headlight there.

At car shows where the cars are tightly packed and data cards placed in strategic places I go for close-up details to tight crops of the front and rear. There are very few, if any people in them as I will wait until all is clear. If there is anything you want taken out, PSE can help you as will many other photo post processing software.

At a public outing as a car show there is no such thing as "you cannot take my picture"... There are as many cameras as there are people..

Had one person try to pull that on me once, and I replyed back in not so quite voice " then get out of my way"...

She moved out.............

I believe most car shows are a public venue, as such people going to have no exception to privacy thus any photographs of them can not be demanded or expected to be edited out. If you want to edit out those persons it might be easier to isolate the the auto.

I attend many car shows and you will always have a problem with folks walking in front of camera or just not moving from the car you wish to take a photo of. Here are a few of what I like to do and I personally think they turn out better than a full view of the car. Of course, not in all cases.

That's a great idea, pulling the cars to the side to shoot with the models. I'll be in PA this weekend and hope to shoot a car show, myself. I like the above photos- just what I was talking about! The lines and curves of these cars are the stars.

I am curious. Is there a special tool to capitalize every word (except for one, lot) or do you have to do each one manually. I have just never seen that before.

I wondered the same thing. It reads like Wm Shatner sounds, with emphasis on every first syllable...
