Mazda RX-8 has had a facelift.

I just saw it on Jalopnik, kinda neat.


And that tripod trick is cool too.

Oh, I just thought of an important question.

I won't be shooting RAW, so what's the best WB practice in this situation?
With all the different lighting at every booth...

In those conditions? BIG miStaKe IMO! Custom WB is the only other way, unless you use the tungston pre-set & pray.

Well yes, but coming home with 1/4 the photos is a bigger mistake for me.

When you take a picture to use it as a custom WB, you select it, after that can you delete it and the camera will maintain the setting even after you delete it?

Considering everything you have in your gear list, I can understand not having an extra $20 for another CF card?

Yes.

Your lucky you can go industry preview, ill be hitting it up this Saturday bright and early. Rented a Canon 10-22 just for the occasion.

Bank account has $2. Not lieing, I'm a student paying 2 tuitions simultaneously. I could barely afford to go today and I got the tickets free. I was lucky enough to have my parents give most of that gear as birthday & xmas presents

Moving on, today was AMAZING. Met up with Simoli briefly, great guy, then I got down to business.

Best part, I stayed right till the end, 9pm, but no one asked me to leave... Since all the BIG time pros came out with their Hasselblads, some HD39's even, I'm guessing it was photographer time. So me and about about 30 people had the ENTIRE DETROIT AUTO SHOW to ourselves. Once in a lifetime opportunity.

I have 1170 pics to sort through and process, so I likely won't be posting anything till later tomorrow.

One unprocessed teaser for now:

Very much looking forward to your efforts.

I know what you mean...I really need to find some way to make some money off this addiction .

By the way, nice shot. Can't wait to see the rest.

One more for now, I have a big assignment I have to work on as priority today

I've fallen in love with this picture for some illogical gut reason.

Funny. I shot the same flowers but had them in focus and the car out of focus.

Nice, I got several versions of it, one with more car, one portrait orientation, etc. But this version appealed the most to me.
