I saw this VW van in one of the parking lots in Joshua Tree National Park last time we were there. It was in really nice shape and looked good against the desert background so I took a few shots of it. I think this was the best one.

Here’s a fun action shot of a radio-controlled car taken at one of our church’s Show ‘n Shine events. I used the “spray & pray” method of capturing this photo as opposed to trying to actually time it somehow. Appropriate, I guess, since it was at a church. I set the shooting mode to high speed continuous and just held down the shutter once the car got close to the ramp.

Yeeehawww

Classic Cars and Panning

I got some more panning practice last night during the annual Rock’n August classic car event in town. We were a little late getting out to the parade so I didn’t have enough time to set up quite the way I wanted, but I managed to get a few shots that turned out not too bad. I would have liked to try using my tripod which would have eliminated any up/down movement but I didn’t have time, so these are all handheld shots. After a couple test shots, I dialed in the settings on manual to 1/20 shutter speed, F8 and ISO 100 with my 50mm lens. A little way through I changed to F11. The cars were moving pretty slowly so the effect is not very pronounced, but I was afraid to slow my shutter down any more for fear of not getting anything in focus. I added some saturation and sharpness in post-processing.
