Looks good. Did you adjust the focal length (is that correct) for that one pic where the guys were out of focus, or did you photo chop it and blur it?

Looks good, Derksen. You had a nice camera. Guessing that photography is more than just a hobby. Like the third pic that you took. The sixth one was really nice, too.

I do not photoshop my pics except to bring them to grayscale or resize. The one of Xenon\'s ride was a technique where you zoom out while the shutter is open. The pic where the guys are out of focus and the car is in focus has the aperature wide open zoomed right in therefore decreasing the focal length.

Oh, about it being a hobby.... for now it is a serious hobby that I am trying to develop into a money maker.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Hey guys I finally \"stitched\" together my attempted panoramic shot of ten of the Mazda3\'s plus TM3\'s Mazda6. It\'s the last pic of the album;

That\'s so cool, man! How\'d you do that?

[miggiddy]

That is pretty damn sweet! :D
Wish my old digital cam would do that.

Thanks guys, there\'s a \"stitching\" feature on my Canon S45 digicam (had one on my old Canon A20 also) which assists in \"aligning\" your second, third, etc. photos. The pics are taken like normal pics and the magic takes place on the computer using the included \"PhotoStitch\" software. You specify the pics to blend together and it\'ll use it\'s best ability to do a seamless merge.

If you look closely though at my pic at full size, you can see where the seams are. I didn\'t take the four pics perfectly (the closer the objects are, the harder it is to get a perfect blend). Sorry, Xenon, your car didn\'t come out perfect in the merge. :(

If I make the second meet (highly doubt I\'ll have my 3 by the 26th) I\'ll try another multi-pic-stitched-to-panoramic shot.
