Jeremy complains that I don't use my Canon T4i enough, which is really correct. With 3 jobs, it's just difficult to get out and shoot.


Here is some of my latest work:

Thanks Austin. I really suck at taking pictures with it. I always go for the glamour shots, but I'll keep at it.....

Nah, you're doing fine. My only real complaint for now is your focus.

Some seem to have camera shake in them. On your lens, look for the Image Stabilization or "IS", turn that on if you don't have it already. (And if your lens has that lol)

I wasn't going to say anything.. but I agree with WD. Most of the pics are really soft. I'm not sure if it's the setting + poor light but you should shoot more Steven so you can dial everything in.. it's the only way you learn how to shoot your DSLR and what settings you should have depending on the conditions. Next comes framing the shot.. it seems like you already have a decent eye.. decent composition, etc. btw.. that 458 is sex.. is that a Montana plate?

Thanks Majofo-I just need to sit down and really learn the mechanics of the T4i. I learned how to shoot on a Canon FTB a hundred years ago-loved that camera!

Yes, I think that Italia was from Montana.

I started on a old Nikon F body. Even had the extended battery pack that used a gazillion AA's.

I loved shooting film. Now I just hold the button down and search through 10k shots of the same thing..

LOL....I only take one or two shots of everything. I'm too programmed like that-organized like hell.


Actually, when I shot those Ferrari's and Maserati's-I had to shoot fast. A bunch of them wound up leaving-just as I was finished shooting.....





Thanks Beezle!







When I win the Lottery and/or become independently wealthy (and own my Aventador), I promise to dedicate more time to shooting pics and taking all of you for a ride in the Aventador!

btw.. random factoid here.. ill Will (Will Claye) who raps on the track (jump to 1:29).. is a bronze and silver medalist from the 2012 Olympics in London. Triple and Long Jump. Look closely and you'll see his bronze medal adorned across his neck.

It's cheap.. I think Beez was talking about F1 GP GA.

If you're really interested, I'd get a 1-day pass. There might even be a groupon.. ~$20-30 +$50 parking
