This is my first attempt at doing a multi image panorama.  Shot from halfway point on "A" Mountain in Tempe looking southwest.

Super image Ross....  Well worth the hike up "A" Mountain.

Thanks guys. This particular image used 12 pictures edited in Lightroom before being stitched together in photoshop.  As far as camera settings go.  ISO 200. 5.6 for my aperture and a 5 second exposure.  This was the best combination I found to work on this particular night.  This was just a section of a much bigger pano I with 36 pictures.

I'm on a bit of a car jag at the moment. I'll get back to the winged projectiles shortly. Wait a minute, this Chevy does have wings on the hood

I really like the car shots Jeff. I once did something similar at Barrett Jackson car auction. My favorite is the Lincoln with the reflections, they are all very creative but the Lincoln is it for me, very nice work.

Definitely a fan of the '55 Chevy shot. It was a very special year!

Thanks Harvey and Scott for the kind words. I really enjoy shooting at the weekly Pavillions car show. While some weeks are better than others (as far as variety of cars go), I've never regretted going. I generally shoot "tight" on the cars and with a wide open f/stop. This helps to minimize the inevitable photo-bombing that occurs with all the folks walking around. Thanks to Bill Ozmun for alerting me to last Saturday's event. Apparently, when the GoodGuys show is at WestWorld, you get an increase in the cool factor at the Pavillions. I'd be going again today, but apparently my grandkids have infected their Papa with a flu like condition. So I'll wimp-out and enjoy the terrific Edwards shots being posted.

Jeff, I hope you feel better soon. The next time you head to the Pavillions let me know, I'll try to join you over there. I enjoy shooting cars also. Take care my friend.

Will do Harvey. I'd have gone today if it wasn't for my wimpyness. I'm hoping Anna does well there this evening.

Not sure why this fellow replaced the big window with a small, but this '56 Ford wouldn't be a bad way to get around town.

Another great shot!

Take Me To Your Leader
Thank you to Bill Osmun for pointing out this antenna bling. I do not think I would have noticed this little detail.

I have some work to do shooting with my 35mm Sigma close in and getting a proper amount of depth of field.  Is a very good exercise to stretch my photography muscles.  I can see myself attending more car shows around the valley for the photographic opportunities.

All excellent but I really like "Jetting Away" very much.  I also have the Sigma 35mm "Art" lens.  Very nice!

Super rad Anna. You and Jeff may have just inspired me to start getting out to the pavilions.
