Hi Denise,


This was taken a while ago at one of the first weddings I did, could be better. I believe this is known as a dog nose shot, don't quote me on that, but it is a bit different I guess for this muscle car. Cheers

Here's a few of my favorite car shots (not including the racing stuff)

To be honest I've been thinking about that on and off all day ...at this point with my current gear, I have no clue! With you and my daughter keeping my sensibility in check about buying anymore lenses right now while I'm still saving for that darn tripod, it's going to be really tough...but I have been eyeing Ebayfor a good auction deal! [;)] Just the other day, a Canon Ef 24-105mm f/4L IS got away from me for $400 (that or a Canon 17-55mm would be nice)!

I like this angle! Living in AMC/Chrysler town, I plan on taking photos of a lot of local outdoor car shows this coming summer! I wish I never sold my '69 AMX now, I could enter it and take photos! But since it didn't have a back seat, I had to sell it when my daughter was born. [:(]

Yup, it's a heritage shot, the original 300SLR and the new SLR McLaren.





and BTW they are models [;)]

It's worth it. You can't spend $1100 in photography for anything better. If I were you I wouldn't buy more lenses. But that's just me.

I can't tell you for sure, but that lens is probably either a bad copy, in poor physical condition, or the whole deal is a scam. Avoid "ridiculous" pricing. If it seems to good to be true, it is [:D]

I'd use your 55-250 and 300 f/4. Your 100 is too short. The 300 f/4 is a bit too long, but has Mode 2 (panning) IS. However, I would use the 55-250 as primary telephoto. That's my opinion [H]

That's what I was thinking. Granted, the 55-250 isn't the best for image quality but it's the most logical choice for this year's show ...but next year, well we'll see! [:P]
