We had a meet tonight (mostly Legacys) at the Long Beach Shoreline Village tonight. Shooting conditions were less than optimal due to all the junk in the background (cars, poles, trees, you name it) along with some super-harsh lighting, but I hope you like these.

This was the first time I took the XTi out at night, and I hate, hate, hate not having remote shutter on this (yet)!

1. Queen Mary in the background.

2. My wagon in the middle... my car was absolutely filthy (as evidenced by the windows).

3. A shot of the docks behind where we were taking pictures of the cars.

Good job. I live on Ocean Blvd overlooking the marina you guys shot at. I know how horrible the lighting is in the downtown and port area. You sure did well with the colors im seeing.

Your wagon looks sweet :) On the first picture, it's cropped to close to the tires.

Good eye... and a common problem with me not being careful on my crops. I'll definitely be sure to leave more breathing room around the subject on future shots. Thanks!
