Cars...My girls were dancing in the parade and on stage in the Willoughby Spring Fair over the weekend so I took my camera (of course).
The parade went well and the girls and the crowd had a great time... I'd taken my new 85/1.8 for a spin (because it was small, light and fast); however whilst I was hovering there was also a small display of some classic cars near the performance stage where my girls were dancing so... The 85 has a fairly long minimum focus distance (80cm) so it's not macro by any stretch of the imagination but I figured I'd try some more detailed shots rather than do something boring like a shot of the whole car. Here are a couple that I liked... Any thoughts - good, bad, indifferent? Royal V Eeny Meeany Red and Wild D600, D7000, Nikon/Sigma/Tamron Lenses, Nikon Flashes, Sirui/Manfrotto/Benro Sticks

Re: Cars...I like the last 3 of these - is that yellow one a 57 Chev? The 600 image is very well composed.

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935. Our mug is smug
Re: Cars...#1...brilliant timing to capture a unique image. Brilliant!
And #4. All of the essential elements working together to make a strong, graphical statement. Regards

Re: Cars...
Thanks Patrick - I'm afraid whilst I might photograph the cars I'm not actually very familiar with them so unfortunately I have no idea
Thanks Matt - I must have been on my game with the dancing - I got a few very well timed shots with the girls all synchronised in the air (not using spray and pray either) By #4 I'm assuming and hoping you mean the 600 one?
Thanks Cam - it's a nice lens - but... it has horrible magenta chroma - which is easy to remove in Lightroom (just click the "Remove Chromatic Aberration" and drag the Magenta slider over a tick) - I might even have to setup a default import preset for this lens to do just that since it appears in just about every shot with any sort of strong back or side light.

Re: Cars...Lovely details in the car pictures, but somehow
I prefer the bouncing girls. You captured enjoying themselves.
