I'm a Canon guy myself. EOS 1DmkII and about enough lenses to trade in for an M5.
Keep it up... I'm drooling.  |
3s-a-charm - I checked out your site. Nice work. I used to shoot a lot of sports back in the day. Everything from High School sports to NFL football, etc. I also shot a ton of NASCAR because I had the contract for Dover Downs for about 12 years (until I just couldn't stand it any more). Used to shoot a lot of concerts too (the avatar of Robert Plant is one of my shots).
I've always found cars a challenge to shoot. I had an assignment once to cover a antique and hot rod car show and figured "this will be a breeze", but it was tough! I came away with crap. You either have to be blessed with a scenic background and beautiful natural light (ala Nikki) or concentrate on certain details and angles with controlled light...
Thanks much for the complement! My skills are rusty at best. Know what you mean about the lenses! I could probably have bought my E90 with my Nikkors.
