But now my 5d mark 2 and 85 are at canon being cleaned because I HATE cleaning my own sensor

yea i've never even attempted to do so. i will say, since i've gotten my 7D. i haven't noticed any sensor dust and it's over a year old. whatever the sensor cleaning thing is that it does, apparently it's good at shaking the loose dust off.

Thats hard because the electron particles keep it on regardless of that, I've cleaned a few sensors which I dont mind doing, I just am super OCD so choose not too but I've cleaned them for friends VERY easy to do

Thanks! the top one was just stitched and cropped. The second one was touched up a bit using tips from k20z3 in his thread.

Yeah, I haven't noticed any dust from my D700 either. Even after 6 months in Afghanistan it is still looking great. I do need to send in my D70 for a cleaning though. It has been 3 years since it last got cleaned and it shows.

Wish mine would have done that :(

Couple shots from a recent session at the track.

nice stuff jeremy!

I agree, I love how those shots turned out. I tried getting shots of cars at the nurburgring once, but nothing turned out good. they all were a bit out of focus looking or blurry.

Thanks!

Quick shot from a shoot I did on Sunday.

Petit Le Mans 2011 - JPMcG Photography

The Porsche shot is great! The ALMS stuff is awesome too. Very jealous you were there. I was hoping to make it but wasn't able to. I hope I can make some sort of race before the end of the year!

Very awesome as well!!! How do you accomplish this??

^^^^ It's a toy car.

Ah ha. Pretty cool idea. I def thought there was some trick photography goin on there.

nope that's pretty much straight out of the camera. that was my 70-200 L @ f/4 laying on the ground with the toy car in front of the real car.

Really cool. Man, those rear tires on that porsche are wiiiiiiiiide.

yea man, slicks FTW. the real car:

And one of the GTR

ferrari shots feel cramped by the width of the road. to me, the GTR is your best image (of the ones you posted in the thread). maybe i'm just partial to GTR's tho :stirthepot:

I agree.


For some reason the F430 seems abnormally long in the pictures, might have to do with the width of the road as HKY said.

Thanks for the CC guys. :)

Why did this thread die!? Time to revive it.

Random shot of our BMW 1M right before SEMA 2011.

BMW 1M / GTHAUS / SEMA 2011 by jeremycliff, on Flickr

reminds me of the star trek episode with the half black, half white guys...

lol. It is different, and not for everyone, but people really seemed to dig it at SEMA. It's back to complete white now.

one of my recent fav's from autox:

No call colors FTL =\

Went to the Smokey Mountains this weekend... Leaves are all gone.

still a good shot tho! i would have got down about 6" or so just so that fence post wasn't sticking out of your hood on the other side of the car, use the car to block it :tup:

Last 2 photos look great. Seeing that MR-2 makes me miss my old one. The way the 2nd Gen has aged is awesome. It looks just as good now as it did 20 years ago and doesn't look dated (well, minus the pop-up headlights).

You actually just reminded me that I was going to make that post disappear.... lol.

lol well there is that too... i try to do everything i can in camera, makes life easier later.

here's some words of wisdom for all, call it my photo philosophy:

the devil in good photography is in the details. if you get your composition and settings right, you can still blow it by missing something in the details. get all 3 right and you are gold, every time.

next time you guys go to shoot, get your composition lined up, fine tune your settings the way you want them then just stop and look around. make sure there aren't stray leaves laying on the ground, larger rocks, stuff sticking out of the car from the camera's point of view, check your reflections on the car, etc. take one minute to get your composition, take 5 to walk around and make sure it's perfect. i guarantee there is something you didn't see at first. happens to me all the time. and to me, that is what makes a good picture excellent. :tup:

also, if you don't have a circular polarizer, think about which lens you use the most to shoot cars with and get a B+W brand one for it. they aren't cheap but they aren't much more expensive than the really cheap feeling ones. you'll thank me later

Yea, I know I need a CP, its on my list its just never made it up to the top.

I will generally try to look for all the details and get everything right in camera but this was a pretty quick. Took it on a turn off spot in Cades Cove with the family waiting on me... haha. So I didn't have the time to pour over the details.

completely understand! sometimes there just isn't time. but, to me, if a picture is worth taking (and trust me, this one was!) then it's worth taking a minute to get it "right". not bashing you at all, just advice for all :pics:

Yea, there have been quite a few pictures where I just wish I would have just taken more time.

Just checked out the B+W CP filters.

There is a Kaesemann and a non Kaesemann... any suggestions? The Kaesemann one is a bit more expensive.

i had the regular one (think they are just under $100) and it was great. i bought a "fancier" version of calumet's CP after i broke my B+W 77mm taking pictures of tony's car at Z Nationals last year and honestly i can say the build quality is terrible and i don't think it works as good as the B+W did, despite paying ~$140 for it.

Well, looking on amazon, they are running about $140 for the regular and $170 for the Kaesemann.

Saw a "slim" one for $90.

that's what i had, the slim one since i was full frame (and hopefully will be again soon).
