    Man that's sweet! Much better lighting and composition.
    I like the straight-lens shot the most, the wideangle is a bit over the top IMO.

    What camera u using?

    Being a bit of a bridge "geek" could you tell me what bridge that is and where it is located? Oh and good looking car too.

    Re: Been having fuin with the box and camera again!!

    The bridge is in South/North Queensferry Scotland - Forth Rail Bridge, not unlike your Golden Gate in many mays...

    The camera Dr Phil is none other than the 350D I believe you have! A great wee slr!! They are all shot with the Sigma 10-20 lens which I'm getting used to! Great lens!! Gonna take it to California on Mon - not sure what lens to take though....

    Oooooooooh! The EOS 350 D! The instrument of masters! The medium of prodigies! The tool of virtuosos! (Yes, I also have one....)
    If youre gonna shoot cars in motion I suggest bringing a 75-300 lens for teleshots. Canon has one with autofocus magneto-something or other fancy-schmanzy engine. I bought one and it's both affordable (appr. 200Pounds) and works brilliantly.
    Whatcha be doing in California?

    Yet another reason for me to come over and pay a visit to Scotland. Enjoy your stay here in California. If your going Hwy.1, head north. The stretch between Santa Barbra and San Francisco is spectacular. Plenty of good places to use your camera.

    Thanks for all the kind comments!

    It's a great camera for not much money. I have to say though it's the Sigma 10-20 lens that makes the images look like that - very dramatic!

    And naked shots.... Hmmmmm

    Hey Steve R, I saw in your Gallery you have a Tom Tom nav unit. How do you like it? Does it take up half the windscreen? Is it the one with the built in bluetooth, and if so, is it any use as a handsfree phone solution?
