took us a bit, and then it took a bit longer to get them uploaded, but here they are.

New site, so, it should be alot quicker/smoother. feel free to order prints, it will help with some of the cost of the site.

Looks good Jason!

A little feedback for rolling pan shots: I think your shutter speed is a bit slow and therefore without an amazingly steady hand, the car is still a bit soft in a few cases. Shoot with shutter priority on and start at about 1/250- 1/400 sec and play around from there. Not sure of the zoom and f-stop of your lens but zoomed in all the way on as low an f-stop as possible works well for me. This allows nice bokeh of the background and blurry-ish wheels, but still has the car nice and sharp and in focus.

James,

ty for the advice, We did forget the monopod which would have helped out a good bit. That being said, we have been using signifigently longer shutter speeds. When I have a chance, I am going to play with the numbers you are suggesting. (I wonder how weird I will look sitting off the side of capital blvd with a camera taking pictures).

To everyone else, thanks for the complements. I will be sure to pass them along to jessie as she did most of the clicking and post processing.

This one is sweet:

The car is soft, but it looks purposeful and the blurred cones and background look great.

This one of Spratte is pretty awesome.

edit...

VVV That's one of my favorites too Gwen. The pebbles & such make the shot even better and more realistic.
