A few pics from Vintage Air's open house

[Matt]

Ryan invited me to the open house at Vintage Air Friday night, so I snapped some pics. Lots of great people, and some very nice cars.

great pictures.

Do you have any HI RES. ones of the Black camaro. That would make a killer desktop background pic.

[Matt]

Yeah man...I just e-mailed it to ya.

Thanks for the good words. Vintage Air is a first class place, everything they did looked top notch.

nice. THANKS. what kinda camera you use? Those are some nice artistic shots.

[Matt]

Canon Digital Rebel, 6.3 megapixel digital SLR, so you can still have all the different lenses and what not. If you're thinking about getting into photography it's a great camera. The new 20d's just came out, so you can get the 300d (what I have) for around $750 now, and it's almost as good a camera in all reality.

here's a few non-car ones I've taken lately...with the right ISO, fstop, and exposure length you can take good photos any time.

...oh yeah, the blur is because long exposure photos of cars come out much much better than using a flash that drowns out color and gives nasty reflections. So that's why people are blurred.

I take it you used a tri-pod with the longer exposure time. Did you pop a remote flash a few times or just use the natural light?

Great job!

[Matt]

Natural light, I haven't found a flash with a diffuser I like that doesn't weigh a too much or cost too much. So yeah, tripod.

man those pictures look fantastic, good job, i'd love to be able to get a camera like that

[BlazerSpeed]

you should try Ritz/Wolf Camera supply for a good external flash. I was looking everywhere to find a good light weight one for my camera (Fuji S602 Pro, looks like the Nikon Cool Pix,measurable from 1.3 to 6.1 megapixels, with adaptable lenses) eventually went in there and got an amazing deal on 4 lenses, 3 filters, and the external flash.
the digital rebel is just amazing though. plus the fact you can interchange the SLR rebel lenses really makes it cool.
