Good Lenses for Car Photography
For track stuff 70-200 F2.8 will do fine most of the time

So they come to a forum and ask for advice - sounds reasonable to me... But then get driven away by people who have a lot to say but nothing to contribute. Sad. So you have been 'lumbered' with the job 'cos the other person left. Rethink the brief and represent it to your management... and take a chill-pill friend. Enough said.

I use PS3 and lightroom but can never get 2 images blended that well. I ofton look at Ambiant Life's work as that is the type of image I am looking for. The only time I have managed to get anywhere near was I shot a VW Camper for a guy. He only worked a few miles away from me so it was easy to get there on a moody day. In fact I will post the pic today and see what comments I get. Thanks every...
