Nikon DSLR "Picture Of The Day"

Congratulations again SSil.

TDI, whats a car doing ruining a perfecrtly good winery tankfarm shot?
And why don't the ladders extend all the way to the ground?:D

Sako, your answer depends what you're trying to do and what your budget is. I find 50mm a good focal length for cars (on a DX camera) and so I'd prefer to use my 50mm F/1.8 which is cheap lens but one I use very little. I find a good zoom much more versatile but not quite as sharp.

Sako here is a link to car photography.

I use my 18-55mm kit lense and my 10-20mm UWA some times. Most of the time I shoot below 34mm. You have have to be careful about the angle you shoot at with wide angle lenses.

I think my next lense will be a 18-55mm f2.8, either a Sigma or a Tokina.

Try to shoot closer to hood level. I agree with eric about the front tire.

You have a nice car to practice taking pictures of.

Here's another one I took Saturday. I did 3 car shows that day.

Focal length is 20mm, f4

Some great car shots being posted recently! Keep it up! I'm hoping to be dabbling in car shots soon as I am looking to get a MG Midget!

Here's another HDR, I'm sure you're all bored of these by now but I enjoy the PP of HDR its a fun step in creating the final image.

(Sorry Rooz for stealing your border idea I'm just testing them out!)

I'll trade you my '01 SS for your '69... ;)

Very creative AtlPikMan. Your turning out some very interesting shots especially compared to most other car show photos. I love how the Viper is intruding on that Vettes turn lol. I will have one one day.. Oh yes... I will.

Playing with presets.
