no, not wide at all. I dont have a wide angle yet, though the kit lens @18mm isnt too bad if I could live with its poor colours. My fave lens is a vintage 28-135 Minolta on my digital body which is what I use most of the time.

As for the subjects I find, some like, some dont so its all in the eye of the viewer. I'd really like to do some garage art shoots of some wild rides - similar to the black Falcon found here;

Great looking car with neat lighting in a perfect setting. Other cars, notably this site members Will or Hemi43's rides would be great subjects to shoot in a similar setting. (for what I have in mind)

i don t actually like the wide angle ..................i use to have a 35 mm before digital with all the fancy stuff zoom lens ,wide, micro .........and i still end up using my olympus the kind you couldn t change lenses but a 35 mm ...........now i only use my digital olympus a nice one but now may be a little outdated compared to the newer ones but it does the trick for now it s a 10 x ...i don t even know what they have now

This can be a place to discuss techniques and any other ideas regaurding picture taking.

poncho62 · ADMINISTRATOR

LOL...I was just thinking about doing the same thing Pete......a thread where we can compare photos....I always have enjoyed taking pics, never was really any good at it. My daughter says that I am and that my photography inspired her to take it up as a career......She is quite talented at it.

Nice trick carl, I've tried that on the 64 & 52 but nothing happens?????

SKAR · PETERBOROUGH, ONT

I can take pictures for anyone if they travel to me as well. I like taking pictures.

Picture that made it into a calendar.

Beachcat · WASAGA BEACH, ONT

I guess I'm just a perfectionist. Hope you don't mind. I removed the clutter on the dash and under the car.

SKAR · PETERBOROUGH, ONT

It bugs me too. That was just a picture at work at the time. There is just the plate on the dash and a piece of plastic on the floor.

Beachcat · WASAGA BEACH, ONT

not any more.

427CARL · CLINTON, ONT

wow what do you charge for modifing photos?

Love to have a picture of my 2500HD in a different surrounding (like a Nascar track- since it was a Texas speedway safety vehicle in 2001)

or the convertible in a different location carl

Sorry I was away in RI buying a US prowler.

I can do something with your pick-up. Give me a little time and I will see what I can come up with.

427CARL · CLINTON, ONT

Sweet

Glad you were chasing a "prowler" not a Cougar

Beachcat · WASAGA BEACH, ONT

I didn't spend a lot of time on this. It's just to give you an idea of what can be done.

SKAR · PETERBOROUGH, ONT

Beachcat · WASAGA BEACH, ONT

Just practising

Dave Scott · ANCASTER, ONT

I love to take pictures, especially of cars.

I only recently got a DSLR, so I'm a bit behind in the learning process.

Please excuse the lack of Rods I'll rectify that when I get to Canada

My 740i Sport. Levels adjusted, rear lights and badge selected, then inverted and made B&W

Wife's M3. Nothing much required here. Used a 70-300 zoom.

Similar to the 740. Selected the amber and the red, then inverted to change to B&W. Darkened the edges for dramatic effect.

Teasers are good.

Worm's eye view.

Action shot!

Arty shot

Headlights on can change a picture completely.
