I love the Concours shows. You've captured some nice shots of yours. I managed to attend our Meadow Brook Concours here in Michigan, last month. I managed to get some nice shots, even with my S3iS. Now that I have an XTi, I'm really looking forward to next year's show.

Good series of cars.
"TUFTRBO"; I had one of those, only silver! The back grill was always covered with oil from a turbo seal leak, though.

# Exposure Time (1 / Shutter Speed) = 1/4000 second = 0.00025 second
# Lens F-Number/F-Stop = 28/10 = F2.8
# Exposure Program = aperture priority (3)
# ISO Speed Ratings = 200

You could use more DOF in #s 1 & 3, & I'm wondering why you choose those settings? ISO 100 & f/5.6 would have been better.

Thanks for the comments Frank. That was actually the effect I was going for although the ISO200 was an oversight from a previous shoot. :o I did catch it and change that later on in the day. Still learning to get all the ducks lined up. You should have seen the afternoon shoot that I shot all at 1600. There was a black background that was noise city! DPP NR did a pretty good job though.

Nice series of shots. The Poodle shot is neat. I like what you did with the detail shots but on the red car I think the DOF is a tad too shallow.

Thanks Jamie. Guess I will try a little smaller hole next time. The Poodle was just eating it up in the morning. A little later on in the day she was looking a bit more worn out. Very well trained show dog.

70-200 f2.8IS @ 200mm & f2.8 on the MkIIn so I guess it would actually be 260mm.
