Davis Walking Take 2

So, after many frustrations with the 55-200mm lens yesterday, I took another crack at shooting with it. Manual Focus seems to be the only way to get fast response from this lens, so I spent most of the day practicing manual focus. Here are the pics!

Walking Around

Decided to get out of the house after being cooped up all day studying. Found a gem of an old Chevy Truck and did some macro stuff for the hell of it. Came to the conclusion that my 55-200 F4-5.6 lens is awfuly slow focusing, unwieldy, and quite terrible in low light. Also reached the limits of my camera's light capabilities, with very bad grain at IS0800. Next up, SB600 flash, manfrotto tripod, Tokina 11-16mm wideangle!

Now, on to the pics!

The Frogbox!

Today was my first "official" shoot for Karfarm Mag. The first in our featured tuner rides section, Jamie's Frogbox could be seen from a mile away. Jamie's xB had enough frogs to populate an entire zoo! Working hard to build this car after her first Box was totalled, the car really loved the camera. What made it even more awesome was that Jamie works on her own ride, including the Air-ride suspension that was put on last week.

Some automotive photography photos. Hopefully, I will some day be good enough to sell auto-photography packages. Comments and critiques welcome :D.
