router dave's bimmer

A couple days ago router Dave came over and we went on a photo shoot with his car. I guess it went from a photo shoot out on the town in his car, to a photo shoot of his car... which is okay with me (just not quite what I was expecting). Anyway, he just got a D70s a while ago, so it was an exercise for him and his camera, and I think I was just there for the ride. I took all these (except for the one that has me in it :))


It's ME! (note my SB-600 off to the side)


A blinking8's inspired shot (his is much better of course)


another one... I think I like #2 better.


Shot with the 50mm for the shallow DOF


In contrast with the above, this was shot with the 17-80mm at 17mm I really want an uber-wide angle like a 12-24DX or something.

All in all, it was fun driving around the downtown parking structure, but I'm not too impressed with my photos. I wasn't really feeling it I guess; I wasn't too inspired (maybe it was the car, who knows?). Also, the lights we were shooting under were just horrible! They were the yellow streetlights like they put in big cities, and my camera's white balance hated them! I did my best to correct them in photoshop (another reason to shoot RAW), but they still aren't perfect. That's the reason the color is different in just about every shot.
