R32 GTR for the win. :)

Would have liked a bit more DOF on the first one, so the wheel is also in focus, but they look good apart from that!

I wanted to make the Spec R logo in focus and everything else out, but still make it tangible what it was you were looking at :)

the garage parking lot bg is very distracting Piro, esp of the guy in the orange shirt and your hands on the 32.

if you wanted the specr why not go macro if you had one or use an extention tube, i would have preffered a lower angle and maybe turn the wheel to the right.

which car is yours?

Errmm..what pic are you looking at? There's no guy with an orange whirt and I can't really see my hands on the 32... :?

Plus it was the rear wheel, so i couldn't really turn it :p I don't have a macro lens.

I really like the first image. The second one not so much, but the first is beautiful! Focus in just the right area, background nicely out of focus... perfect in my opinion.

How the hell he seen the hand ill never know! :lol:

The guy in the orange shirt was the first thing i seen though. Then again im always shooting cars and watching out for reflections.

I too would have liked to see the wheel in focus on the first picture.......but thats not what you were trying to achive.

ok, i definitly not dr cyclops. maybe just over critical over some reflections. hence i tend to shoot cars at 50 yards.
I think the key point here is to mind your surroundings and watch out for reflections. although its not easy to see things in the lcd preview in the d70.
have fun and keep shooting :)
