That is what I do. Even so, I was having a very difficult time getting
the red and orange cars to "pop" the way they do in real life. It may
be that with the tungsten light, the sensor was being fooled and making
everything more red, so bringing everything else down brought the cars
color down. I don't know.

I was experimenting with bracketing ISO (it seems to be better off just
underexposing a couple stops in a lower ISO and retaining highlights),
and just getting to know the gear. I need to be a lot more sensitive to
the focus point, I lost several shots because "it looked fine in the
viewfinder" but didn't look so good on the display.
The lighting at Canepa is very challenging, hard tungsten lights, mixed
with very blue light from the windows. I had a deuce of a time trying
to get red and orange cars to come out right.
Carry a pocket gray card or one of those pocket Macbeth color checkers.

If people are getting tired of all of my "explore the new gear" posts,
let me know. I've been figuring that people are as curious about what
the K-1 can do as I am, but I'm sort of self centered that way.
