Thanks again!

Mainly the Tokina, but also the 50mm 1.4 and the 24-70mm 2.8.  The Tokina was much nicer to use than the Sigma 10-20mm, and the clarity was superior.

Bob, you really need to find a very dramatic vehicle to shoot sometime. Like, hmmm, maybe a Chrysler 300c? :)

Beautiful photos!!!  I guess it helps to have a stunning looking subject....

Can I ask, how did you do the shot of the tach?  Do you use something to steady the camera, then use a super slow shutter speed to get the needle to blur?

I actually really like the 300C, I'd love to shoot the new one, I think the exterior is stunning.

The camera lens was resting on the steering wheel, and the setting were (approx) 200 ISO, F/3.2, 24mm (36mm equivalent) and a shutter speed of about a quarter of a second.

Can't help you with a new one, but if the urge ever strikes to shoot an inferno red 2010, I know a guy who might be able to help...  ;D

Fantastic shots. The graffiti ones work really well. Too bad you couldn't have taken the front plate off.
