Default **New Camera, new pics!**

It was a beautiful day here in Northern Virginia, so I decided to take my new camera and the Z out for some fun.

Enjoy, comments are always welcome!

All shots were taken with a Canon SD800. It was in Auto mode since I do not know how to take pictures.

I sure do love these cars!

I have more pics if everyone wants to see them. I just didn't want to load up this post with 20 pics.

Thanks everyone!

I am wondering if I lost some clarity in the pics by trying to "optimize" them. Ah well, the colors really pop now compared to the originals.

The new camera took some mighty fine pictures. Of course it helps when the subject looks as good as your Z!!!

I dont want to come off like a total *** here, but I will.

While it is artsy to take a half foto of your car, or something similar, you can achieve the exact same look by taking an entire foto of your car and then cropping it down, after the fact. We are now in the digital age, and our photography should harness all the digital prowess available.

My suggestion to everyone, take a wider photo than you want, then crop down.
