Real nice but for the money I bet that guy spent I could buy a few acres here, build a 40x100 Butler Building with a finsihed apartment inside and not have to worry about yayhoos revving the motors on their Camaros every weekend.

Hey kids!

Went out to the Minneapolis AutoPlex this morning. I did not see the garage that was featured in the original post. It was cold and windy so not all the toys were out.

#1 The main complex, lots of people, lots of cars, lots of windchill :help:

#4 I let another Canon shooter borrow my camera and jumped into a couple of frames

The best part was seeing a Nissan GT-R sporting 20" Blizzaks. Now that is a daily driver!

"Condo's for car lovers" Ya, that is the best description. The local "Cars and Cafe" has been meeting out there since they have outgrown every other venue over the past year. Once summer arrives they will have 500+cars on a Saturday morning! No burn-outs, but most people "exercise" the car leaving the show.

I have a question about the moving cars with your Cannon camera.

Do you do multi-frame shots and pic out the best or do a quick lock and snap to get them?

Just got one for Christmas time and still trying to figure it all out.

Thanks for the complement on the picture!

There is a lot to figure out with DSLR/SLR camera! For "panning" a subject you want to use a low shutter speed and move the camera with subject keeping it in the frame. The low shutter speed blurs the background and moving objects(wheels/tires). Trick is to time the camera movement to the subject movement or you will get a blurry mess.

These were all single shots, ISO 50, Tv mode with shutter speed 1/60th of a second. Make sure you use AI servo for focus mode.

I have the Cannon EOS Rebel T1.

Should I use the auto focus with doing that kind of shot?

And I see the At setting.

There are 2 auto settings on the lens for the moving blur effect and if I am understanding you right you use the 1st setting on it.

I see how you change the shutter speed in the digital display so that is easy enough to change.
