definatly some sweet **** here man. that's a wicked camera, i gotta get me one soon. film SLR is gettin old

 

those are some really nice photographs. I wish i had a camera like that

 

It just takes some time figuring out what kind of shot to go for with any particular set-up at a show. Get a tripod, and don't be afraid to make people walk around you. Do it a little and you'll start to relish the challenge of finding "the shot" while nearly being trampled by a huge crowd of inattentive people.

I don't want to jack your thread here, or I'd post some pics that I took at SEMA 04 and Xtreme AutoFest to give you some ideas.

I just bought an Olympus E-500. Love it. still learning, 9only had it a few days), but it felt nicer than the others when I was playing with it. There does seem to be a sort of heavily defended Canon/nikon camp out there. They tend to deride anything other than... I love it anyway. Off today to see what i can do with it. My old digi (not SLR..regular point and click) was pretty doog, (Camedia 3000), was a decent wee camera, but it broke, so figured I'd get a budget SLR and see what I could do with it.

 

Thanks again for all the compliments guys!

 

Very nice pics.

I'm actually looking at getting a D50. How do you like it? Most of the reviews I've read have given it pretty high marks.

 

I haven't really had it long enough to form a real opinion on it, but so far I've found nothing to complain about. It seems to be a top-notch entry level D-SLR.

 

those pics are so nice its like im there in person.

 

Well, with $1200 worth of equipment, I should hope so.[sm=roll.gif] Seriously though, my stuff is nothing compared to the pros. You should check out the access photo forums. There's some amazing stuff there.

 

You may think your stuff is nothing like the pros but I think those pics are pretty damn good

nice work!
