Well I got my 7D in the mail today from the loyalty program, so I figured I would test it out. When I was up in one of my favorite overlooks taking landscapes, I heard the distinct whine of a triple engine (I had/have a Daytona 675, but it caught fire and is totaled). This guy comes around the corner and stops. We talk for a bit and I ended up doing a mini impromptu photoshoot and tried to get some panning shots. Made me realize that I should probably get some gels for my flash, and I need more practice.

If I would have had more preparation and had I known what I was doing with the 7D and had it sorted out, I think I could have done a little better. While this was the same location where I did the good shots of my bike and my friend's mustang, we couldn't get down below the fence. So there were a lot of trees and poles growing everywhere. Hard to find a decent angle at that spot. I gave him my contact info and we are going to do a proper shoot at a later date and at a better location.
