No wise words here.
I'm pretty darn happy with this shot and what the Rokkor f1.7 can do.
Taken at the Volkswagen Nationals, a gathering of hundreds of VW vehicles held at Fairfield Showground in western Sydney annually.
It was another of those days where I packed too many cameras for a day looking at cars so left most in the car and wandered with a Minolta SRT303 and a Nikon D50. It was also another of those days where I was expecting loads of people to be there with cameras, as is the norm at a classic car events but was truly amazed at how many people have big dollar DSLR's.
I've had my DSLR for a number of years now and it is a great thing. It was an upgrade from a 3.2 megapixel Olympus UltraZoom, quite capable in its day but garbage by todays standard. What I still am yet to see is DSLR shots that don't look so clean and often clinical out of the camera or more importantly, shots that don't have endless things done to them with software manipulation.
I often feel too many people come home and heavily modify (well even lightly) an image rather than do all that with the available light in camera as they take the shot. Am I becoming an even older "old skool" stickler?
