Taken at a a little get together, what an opportunity! No PP done, just some quick shots, unfortunately I realized afterward that my aperture wasn't right... dang

Oh, wow! Nice catch!

Good find, but I'm wondering why you shot the dash at f/4? I can understand that for the first one, but the focus seems to be on the background.

[RadAL]

they also look kind of soft too.

[zaqattack00]

It had pulled up as I was leaving so I shot them hastily and forgot that my Aperture was set to f/4... :(.

I've been using the Tamron 17-55 f/2.8 for alot of my recent car shooting and I've noticed that my shots are not as sharp once I get them on here as they seem to be after I take them. I don't know if its from loading them onto photobucket or what, but no one else seems to have the problem. I'm not sure what the deal is...

I don't know if its from loading them onto photobucket or what, but no one else seems to have the problem. It could be that PhotoBucket has resized?
Before uploading your images to your Photobucket account, choose either a
display or file size that is equal to or larger than that of your images. You
can do this by clicking on the 'Uploading Options' link in your upload panel
and then on the radio button next to your preferred size. If an option is
greyed out, this means the option is not available for your Photobucket
account type. Selecting a size larger than your images will prevent further
resizing upon upload and help expedite the upload process. To make the changes
permanent, you must upload at least one image from the upload panel. This is
important for Pro users using FTP or anyone using the Windows XP Publisher. If
you choose to use the file size options, the file size of the original image
will take precedence over the the display size and any display size is
accepted as long as the file size is less than your choice in the 'Uploading
Options'.
I always click on the image to get the 100% size that I've uploaded, & then use that URL for display.

Very nice find... Thanks for sharing :) Beautiful vehicle.

Most beautiful german car ever. Harsh sun well controlled.

[Jim06GTO]

Wow! Beautiful car! I'd love to see one in person.

[RadAL]

well, you are in california, just go to any decent sized car show ;)

[Jim06GTO]

Haha, if only it where that easy. I go to many and have yet to see one, maybe I just need to get out more. My Dad had a franklin mint model of the 300SL when I was a kid, so I've always wanted to see one up close.

[TooTall]

I've seen two different ones on the street over the past year as well as a couple at shows. But hey, this is So Cal! I see Ferraris almost daily!

Cheers,
