Obviously not lancers but... it fits into the "Automotive Product photography Sydney" Catergory?

But, went on my first cruise today with the Fiancee with the Commodore Enthusiasts of Tas, It was alot of fun :3

Although, one guy managed to split a hose, and another had driveshaft problems, Other than that Everything else was pretty smooth :3

Mad keen Just picked up a new lens last night, 35mm f1.8, will have to give it a crack soon - thinking some sneaky looking night time shots. Here are some of my efforts, I just shoot my own car.

Nice work, love the rolling shots, are they taken on a car rig?
I need to get out and take some of my car, I haven't even taken one shot of my car.. Been to busy shooting other things.

lol 38mm lens is a fairly wide angle lens could cause some distortion, though could create some interest side effects if used carefully.

Couple of hints which you probably already know. Small aperture, large number, ie: f22, wide range in focus, large aperture . small number ie:
f 3.5, less range in focus, blurred background. Hyperfocal distance can do wonders or keeping a wide range in focus. usually used most often with landscape photography but could be a handy tool here.

Hahah! Not quiet! Fiance currently drives my Ralliart when he isn't in his work car! I have him hooked on it! Although I may end up being a Holden owner again, currently deciding whether to keep the RA or sell it ans buy an LTZ Captiva due to having a baby on the way.

[Lancer1993]

Can't you get a baby seat in the back of the RA?

Don't like the Craptiva, you'd be better off with the new Mazda CX-5 out soon, if you don't want a Mitsy ASX or go old school and get a Lancer CH wagon VRX spec!

As for camera (bit more on topic for this thread) I have a Canon 70D and several lenses, got a 50mm recently with low f stop, perfect for portraits and blurred backgrounds.
